Compline dinner announcement

[lotsofplants]

I think everyone who attends these reads my journal as well as corivax's.

It has been decided, mostly due to burnout, that corivax is not interested in actively hosting compline dinner for a while. I'm willing to work on coordination, similar to what happened the last couple Sundays. Basically, what this means is that I provide the place and pasta and cleanup, and other people pitch in with the food. I would also like notice of guests prior to Sunday evening. A headcount would be useful, but not absolutely necessary. Vegan attendees should contact me before Sunday.

So, not changing:
pre-Compline dinner at about 8:30, featuring spaghetti and garlic bread. (unless no one wants to do this anymore)

changing:

• guests policy (please give notice/get ok by Sunday afternoon)
  
• food policy (I would like people to pitch in. Please see following list for things it would be helpful to bring. You don't have to bring something every week, but I don't have the time or resources to provide everything.)
  
• dessert policy (good chance I will not be planning desserts. Volunteers welcome. Please contact me to coordinate.)

Solicited foodstuffs list, moderately detailed because I'm that kind of plant. :)

Things that are always welcome, and will keep quite well until the following week if we end up with extras:

• pasta sauce. Vegetarian red sauce, please. Olive and mushroom components are discouraged because of silly people who don't like them.
  
• sodas. Generally, some sort of non-diet lemon-lime soda, as everyone will drink them.

Things that don't keep well. Please coordinate with me if you are interested in bringing these.

• bread. We use one loaf per week. If you're bringing bread, let me know and get it to biomass by about 7. cow has been doing this for a bit. Donno if he's willing to continue bringing it.
  
• garlic. One head/week. See note on bread.
  
• dessert. Due to preferences of some attendees, nuts are generally discouraged. Again, please confirm if you are interested in bringing dessert.

Note to others, as well:

I've been bringing much of the foodstuffs for the last couple of months. I really don't mind contributing, but it seems silly that almost everything is coming from either mine or verdant's kitchens, when we have the two lowest incomes in the group (I think--other than those unemployed, of course).

So others pitching in would be much appreciated. :)

For now, I'll continue to bring. But I'd really like others to do so sometimes as well.
