ANALYZING… FILE TYPE: Community Ledger PERIOD: Colony Era TOPIC: Potluck SUMMARY: J. Kim's list of meal contributions and approvals for an officially sanctioned New Cascadia community potluck. The emphatic personal commentaries on dishes were not officially sanctioned. =================================================================== AlgaLite: APPROVED for all ages. No allergens. Creamy agar mousse: APPROVED with parental supervision for children under 4. Possible aspiration hazard. Homemade spiro-crisps: Enthusiastically APPROVED, requesting recipe and additional contributions. Last year's batch ran out in the first hour, and we want to avoid any tears this year. NuCal Drinkable Cheeseburger (original packaging): NOT APPROVED. Folks, if I may take a moment to clarify, this is a community building event. No, I don't care that the contributor-who-shall-remain-anonymous won a lottery for a pallet of these. No, the texture and flavor are not "vintage" in any decent sense of the word. The point is to make a dish and share it with your neighbors. Put some love into it, or at least some hot water. NuCal Non-Vanilla Pudding: APPROVED for all ages. Soy allergen. And before anyone cries hypocrisy, the pudding requires rehydration and mixing. It's a good activity to do with younger kids. "Tamarind" fizz: APPROVED for ages 13 and older. Never heard of it before, but Joy says tamarind was an extinct fruit tree on Earth. Twice-rehydrated nutri-starch soup: PENDING ingredient details of "organic stock." Admins have asked me to remind everyone that hunting local wildlife is prohibited, regardless of their proximity to hab units. Plucking and eating local wildlife, while not technically prohibited, is considered to be in poor taste. Even if it tastes good. =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [ ]
