I'm having Quorn fake turkey roast, prepared with the same glaze but not marinated, because I dislike beer. That Guy is making his potato/feta cheese dish and picking up Auschlese, and has a sinfully chocolate torte for dessert.
I think I have figured out how to keep from making enough food to feed a platoon. The meat and fake meat are being cooked in terra cotta cookers the size of a bread pan. I'm only making enough ... stuff.. to fit in each of those. There will still be leftovers, I'm sure.
.. fuck. Forgot the Ocean Spray cranberry jelly goop! Must go to store and get some. That is a moral imperative!
