magidSo far, I have
[post-con edits in square brackets]
I might make spicy nut noodles. I should get grape tomatoes (and red peppers?) and package up the end of the salad greens with some dressing. I could make hard-boiiled eggs. Perhaps I should get a yogurt. Maybe some other fresh hand fruit? And there's the outstanding question of whether this is enough to not feel constrained. If I don't go to Brookline, this will be my first non-fleishig Arisia.
[I didn't make the noodles or do anything else in this paragraph. Note for next year: people need less feeding in this hotel, with all the food options right there; try to estimate more exactly what I'll want. Also, I missed having fleishigs this year; if there's no compelling reason to be milchig, have at least one fleishig Shabbat meal.]
For comparison, 2005.
Also, note to self: pack forks, knives, spoons, plates, napkins, also tealights, masking tape, and matches (use the cinnamon on the graham crackers for b'samim).
And while on the topic of Arisia (but not food), I got email about Space and Time magazine being bought; the formal announcement will happen at Arisia. The interesting part for me is who's buying the magazine: one of my college suitemates. Now I'm going to wonder how I'll seem to someone who hasn't seen me in decades.
