Name: Thanksgiving Week
Start: 2025-11-25T17:00:00-06:00

Location: 4504 Elba St

I'm going to be spending the week, prepping the following menu. I'll be hosting friends whenever they feel like coming over. Strangers are welcome, too, with an RSVP.

I'll also be making more than enough food. At the end of the week, I'll be packaging up most of the extra food, and delivering it to community fridges. Anybody who wants to help with that is welcome.

If you want to be a part of this, be it preparation, joining for a dinner, or getting the extra food to the community (especially important this year), just RSVP to the event and leave a comment. I'll PM you, and we can go from there. There is no specific dinner event or schedule. I'm just taking the week off as a holiday. This is something I did for years before COVID hit, and I dearly miss it. And I'll be making extra, to hopefully help a bit with the food crisis many of us are currently dealing with.

Menu. Several dietary needs are covered, but not all. V means vegetarian, P is pescatarian, VEG is vegan.

Gulf shrimp w/ garlic chili sauce (P)
Kimchi pineapple (P)
Cinnamon rolls (V)
Pies (V)
Fried chicken patties w/ Carolina mustard BBQ sauce
Deep-fried pork belly tacos
Tomato bisque w/ fried cheese sammies (V)
Pesto ravioli w/ white wine sauce (VEG) \*
Baked tofu w/ green beans and chili crisp (VEG)
Corned beef and pastrami sammies \*\*
Srtroganoff
Panzanella (V)
Salad (VEG)
Vegan desserts (VEG) \*\*\*

\*Some wines are processed in ways that are not considered vegan by some people. I've found it difficult to find a bottle that's good enough for cooking, and meets peoples' standards.

\*\* I've never made corned beef or pastrami before. I've got batches brining in my fridge. If these (which are made with the cheapest brisket) come out poorly, I'll make sloppy joes instead.

\*\*\* I'll be purchasing desserts from Deuxbelle Vegan, downtown.
