I’m sorry I’ve forgotten. Do we have enough variety? Will we have enough food for 20?  Will attendees be satisfied that they received a $15 meal? I hope so!

Maybe we should consider this Mindful Eating 101, and focus on why eating locally, and organic, and fair-trade, and low on the food chain—matter. Maybe instead of little notes to accompany each dish, we should, after the meal, have each of us food contributors state why the dish or dishes we brought are “just."
