Rides

There will be a few cars headed over from various areas of Seattle. If you need a ride or if you have extra room in your car, please let people know. If no response here, please email community@leastsquar.es.

  • Mako and Mika need a ride from Fremont.


Make it Veg*n?

The dinner will not be vegetarian (rumor is that there will be a turkey) but bear in mind that many of the people attending will be. If you can, try to make your dishes vegetarian or vegan so anybody attending can eat them.

Timing

The vague plan is for folks to start arriving around early afternoon (say, after 1pm) and to plan to try to eat around 4pm for one of epic late-lunch/early dinner meals. We should be done by 7-8pm. There will be drinking and essential snacking interspersed throughout the day so feel free to arrive earlier!

The Hill Family Compound includes two microwaves, four burners, and one oven. Coordinate with Mako or others if the plan is to cook food there. Otherwise, plan to arrive by 3:30 with your food and we can heat it up before eating.

Dishes and other stuff you'll be bringing

By the law of potlucks, if everybody who comes brings enough food for themselves, we should enough food for everybody and plenty of variety. You can add items that you want to bring/make and add your names by the items in the lists below:

  • home-made seitan roast Mako

  • cranberry sauce (A³)
  • wild rice salad (A³)
  • turkey (Hills)
  • Gluten-free Mac-n-cheese (southern style) Liz & Tommy
  • stuffing (vegetarian)! (lucy, bnewbold and co)

Drinks:

  • 1 handle of Wild Turkey (because it's not Thanksgiving without Turkey)
