Assorted beans on a napkin left out for people to find?

Question by Dan Lempa: Assorted beans on a napkin left out for people to find?
I work at a hospital valet parking cars and everyday we find a paper bag with an assortment of raw beans outside that someone left there for us to find. Does anyone know what this means? Its been about 5 times the last couple weks. We dont know who is doing it or why. I know that its not to make them germinate, someone is messin with us. Security at the hospital havent been abke to see on camera who is doing it. Does anyone know what this means I'm getting freaked out.

Usually 1 pound whole hog per person is about right, so you are over on the meat, and you do want to offer at least one dish that will act as an entree for those who don't eat pork.

Potato Salad - 30 lbs potatoes OK if you know that some guests are bringing pasta salad, otherwise go to 40.
Potato Chips - 7 20 oz. bags won't be any leftovers. Are you providing a dip?
Vegetable Tray with carrots(5 lbs baby carrots), celery(3 lbs), tomatoes(3 qts), cukes(8-10), and broccoli(3 lbs) and cauliflower(4 lbs)- cherry or grape tomatoes, and dip
Fruit Salad with watermelon (8 seedless) and grapes (10 lbs each red and green) and maybe strawberries or cantaloupe depending on what's on sale. Strawberries are lovely, even if not on sale. Fruit trays are easier to store and serve and the leftovers are nicer. What about a creamy dip?
Pickles and Olives - 1 gallon jar of each OK
Punch - 10 GALLONS OK I suggest not red and not too sweet.
Iced Tea - 5 GALLONS I allow 6 gallons per 100, make sure some is unsweetened. Have water also.
Cheese Tray with crackers -15-20 lbs & 2 big boxes Ritz (20 pkgs)- you want about 9 pounds of crackers- I don't know how big these boxes are.
Dinner service of coffee (see the beverage planning page) is very nice with the cake.
2 dinner and 2 dessert plates, 4-5 napkins, and 2 cutlery sets per person with extra spoons. Don't cut corners here, with the roast pig they need heavy duty knives.
I would add a pineapple salsa, raisin sauce, or some other fruit sauce for the pork, along with BBQ sauce.
