Food

IMPORTANT NOTE: This site is peanut free!! Do not bring anything containing peanuts or peanut products to the event.

Lunch is on your own. There are a number of places within a few minutes drive — fast food, casual, and a couple of grocery stores. Feel free to make a food run or bring your lunch.

The feast is potluck / covered trencher, so please bring a dish (to share with 10 people) that does NOT contain peanuts or any peanut products. Please also provide a list of ingredients for each dish. You are welcome to bring your choice of dish for the feast. If you are having trouble deciding on what to bring, the following guidelines might be helpful, based on your mundane (modern) last name:

  • A-H: Meat and / or cheese dishes
  • I-P: Veggie dishes / bread
  • Q-Z: Desserts / sweets

The kitchen is unavailable for heating dishes, so if you have an extension cord or power strip that can be used for crockpots, please bring it.
