C - cabin assignments - and particularly how you are told them - at Chenoa it was never just a case of reading the programs out - there was usually a game of some sort to find them out!

Kraft Mac and Cheese - While the kitchen makes good meals three times a day, Time Off is when I like to enjoy the "blue box."
Or alternatively,
Kitchen raid! If you're good friends with cooking staff, they'll save a treat for your T.O.
