Extraordinary Least Squares will be hosting a thanksgiving feast at the Hill Family Compound on Mercer Island on Thanksgiving Day. The address:

6805 SE 32nd Street

Mercer Island, WA

Even the least square members, affiliates, and auxiliary appendages are welcome along with their children, families, and extended family. Please come! The house is very large and we have room for everbody.

There will be a few cars headed over from various areas of Seattle. If you want to come and need a ride, send an email to community@lists.leastsquar.es and somebody can probably help!

If you need to coordinate on the day of, these phone numbers might be useful:

Home phone # 206-232-8918
Mako: 206-409-7191 (Mobile)
Winnie: 206-310-0431 (Mobile)
Carter: 206-409-7598 (Mobile)

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:

Food:

tofurducken (if we can't find mock duck, maybe just tofucken) (Mika)
home-made seitan roast Mako

buttercorn rolls (Mako or Winnie?)
cranberry sauce (A³)

Gluten-free Mac-n-cheese (southern style) Liz & Tommy
