@BanPlastic ya that's what we usually do. last summer I also made some chutney with dried apricots and dates to go with it and a salad. I usually have between 6 and 10 people helping me. 2 for stirring, 2 fire trolls and the rest on chopping. sometimes we call for musicians to come play music for us while we cook. we just yell "music in the kitchen !!!" and after a few minutes some musicians usually come.

@reflectingmonkey Seems like a lovely community.

@BanPlastic they're hippy gatherings, they exist all over the world, they're called rainbow gathering. they started in Colorado in 1972 but now many countries have them, the U.S. has regional ones and a national one every year but many other countries have them and there is also an international one that moves from country to country. I went to an international one in Colombia 2 years ago, we were 1000.
