Food for Arisia
Jan. 21st, 2005 11:31 amtwo small grape juices [drunk Sunday latish]
pita [eaten Sunday latish, with eggplant and with tuna]
a can of roasted eggplant [eaten Sunday latish]
a container of baba ganoush [eaten on Shabbat/motzai Shabbat]
a package of vacuum-sealed tuna [eaten Sunday latish]
a box of sesame crackers [partly eaten, rest donated to the con suite]
six veal knishes [eaten]
two heads of red leaf lettuce [partly eaten; rest tossed due to freezing]
a pint of cherry tomatoes [mostly eaten]
sesame salad dressing [used; excess left behind]
two bananas [eaten]
an orange [donated]
four tangelos [donated]
chocolate raspberry gels [a little eaten, rest donated]
almonds and cashews [friends ate half, rest left over]
calmyrna figs [eaten]
dried cherries [friends ate half, rest left over]
two bars of dark chocolate (one pareve, one not)[pareve one eaten, other left over]
Current plans:
a. Stop at Souper Salad to get more greens and salad vegetables. [Got one large salad; it was consumed.]
b. Go to Milk St. for chowder and some other hot/prepared food. [This was not accomplished.]
c. Lunch chez Bursteins: bring knishes, salad, and fruit especially. [Knishes, salad, dressing, and rolls (Tigerbright foisted them on me Friday night) were all happily eaten. Fruit forgotten.]
For comparison, here's last year's list. It looks reasonably comparable, though I'm bringing a bit less this year, especially less cracker-spreads. I'm also anticipating feeding fewer people. In any case, I won't run out of food :-)
[Post-con evaluation in brackets.]
[On the whole, despite Milk St. not being open when I'd thought, I had plenty of food, enough to feed friends snacks, do a cooperative lunch, and donate a bit to the con suite. The blizzard made the timing of the con rather different than expected, though; it would've been far more to carry home had I not stayed so late on Sunday.]
