  • Sauté over medium heat, until the garlic softens and turns golden, about 8 minutes.
• Creepypasta sauce
  • This should reheat fine. Complete entire recipe
• FUS RO DAL
  • Sauté the 1/2 tsp of mustard seeds and 4 cloves of minced garlic with the 1 tbsp of olive oil?
  • Most of the work is in the boiling of the beans, but that's low-maintenance.
• Naan Bread
  • Can't really do dough the day before. Most of it is just waiting for the dough to rise, though, so do it Saturday.
• Imma Firin' Mah Lasagne
  • Fry 2 small onions, 2 garlic cloves, 1 chopped green pepper, and 1/2 lb of chopped mushroom.
  • Add 28 oz of diced canned tomatoes, 14 oz of tomato paste, 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, 2 shredded carrots, 1 tsp of basil, 1 tsp of oregano, sugar and salt to taste, 1/4 tsp of pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and then simmer for 30 min
  • Blanch 10 oz of spinach, cool, and squeeze out water
  • Add the spinach, 2 eggs, and 1 lb of ricotta to a food processor; blend until smooth
  • Store vegetable mixture and ricotta mixture separately.
  • On Saturday, layer (sauce, noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozza) two times and bake at 350F for 30 mins
• Nyaan Bread
  • Roll red bean paste very thin between sheets of cooking parchment. Do two of these (about one bag of red bean paste).

  • Can't store ingredients, but technically could store the final results.
• Dramatic Chip Cookies
  • Same as above
• Five-minute fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuudge
  • Just make it on Saturday
• Chunky Norris Peanut Brittle
  • This too

Actually, all the desserts can be made the day before OR earliest on Saturday. They don't need to be hot. (Some things might dry out a bit, which is why making them early on Saturday might be best.

But early Saturday doesn't seem to be that good, so I think we should make them on Friday.

To-Do

1. NOW: Hang signage (Washrooms, exits)
2. 4-6 hours, Oct 14-19: Plan for entertainment; touch base with Colin2
3. 1-3 hours, Thu Oct 18: Plan the cooking: what can be prepared beforehand to make work easier on Saturday?
4. 2-3 hours, Fri Oct 19: Prepare the semi-perishable sauces and confections; marinate things
5. 1-2 hours, Fri Oct 19: Clean the space again. Install accent lighting
   1. Cook vegetables and other part; store until needed
6. 4-6 hours, Sat Oct 20, 11:00am-6:00pm: make most dishes, and entrées
   1. Cook the things we know will need reheating
   2. Combine the cooked ingredients into their final forms directly before loading vehicles and serving
   • (Travel time? No more than ten minutes. Serving entrées at 7:10, and main course at 7:30?)
7. 1-2 hours, Sat Oct 20, 5:00-7:00pm: Finish the main course and get it to SkullSpace by 7:25 or so.

More ideas:

• Should we have pans of boiled water to keep things warm? Do we have any of those units?
• Remember to have good containers to everything. We'll need to plan for that when we're planning the cook-off.

Brainstorming

• Why? What's important?
  • Funds
    • We're not expecting too much profit, but every little bit helps
    • If we get $20/person for a $10-$14 meal (depending on what dishes they go for and how much they eat), that's $6-$10 per person, and if we get 30 people that's $180-$300.
  • AMichael just wants to cook for some reason?
  • Boosting the Cookbook project
  • SkSp community and culture
    • I think this is the most important
• What would be going on?
  • Use a projector or more to play meme slideshows or videos
    • Trololo sing-along?
  • Use the sound systems with the videos and for meme music
  • A buffet-style line-up of food based on memes or with meme-based puns.
• Places!
  • In SkullSpace
    • Brings people to the space, and creates that shared culture
    • Might be a bit dingy
      • Cleaning will help a lot!
      • Also, good accent lighting
      • The place will be transformed for the event
      • This would affect the space itself
    • I'll get some matching cutlery sets. We have plenty of plates (And I can bring some in).
    • How would we cook?
      • We wouldn't be able to actually make everything there, without a stove and oven.
      • We could use someone's nearby house or a community centre
    • In the classroom
      • Lots of light and space
        • Except it'll be dark by then
        • The lights are kind of garish
      • Right by the kitchen
      • Would the charity buildathon be held there? Or in the workshop?
    • In the lounge
      • Very comfortable
      • It's the most social spot in the space
      • A bit difficult to eat
        • But a table could be put in, too; there's way too much space
      • We could set up the food buffet-style right in the lounge
      • Random people coming to pick up buildathon machines wouldn't even need to see us
  • At someone's house
    • It would be nice, and personal
    • Really depends if it's central
    • Only if we don't have many people
    • If we only get a few people, this would actually be a very good idea.
  • At a community centre
    • Is it a good one?
    • Could be as dingy as SkullSpace would be
    • Is it central?
    • Could be really nice
    • Good kitchens
    • Would we get dishes?
