Yes, it makes sence. Thanks!

Aha, yes, I understand :)

So, I'm going to put the meals here for now and then see how we can add it to the sheet:
Fresh meals:
- fish and chips: fish, potatoes, salt and lemon. Vinegar as bonus.
- coffee: milk, sugar, water.
- tea and water: tea, water.
- sandwiches: bread, egg, jam, cheese, cuccumber, carrots, bacon, salt.
- salade: lettuce, tomato, cheese, salad, nuts.
- curries: beef, lamb, chicken.
- quiches: bacon, egg, ham, spinach.

Desserts, drinks and cocktails:
- champagne
- wine
- water
- sweet cake
- chocolate

Total scavenger points: 68 (bonus points need to be added)

We still need frozen meals. I haven't done the spell it out yet. If I do anything wrong, and I think I am, please let me know.

Yes, but that's the problem. We can use different items from different books, so I don't know if that will work with the sheet, because in the sheet we need to add the meal per book. For example: the first book has only 'fish', but if I look further in the sheet, I can use all the items to make fish and chips. But with the first book it only says 2 scavenger items. Does it makes sence what I'm saying?

For example: I can make 'fish and chips' with 4 items + vinegar for the bonus points.
If I look at our sheet, the first books says 2 items max. I'm a bit confused here, because we need to have at least 4.

I'm looking at our spreadsheet now, but I'm combining scavenger hunt items to make several meals. So, items from different books for 1 meal. I hope that I can get it right in our tracking sheet.

On the other hand, I’ve got time this evening to post the meals, so I’ll do that.

@Lau: the meals aren’t on the sheet yet, but I’ve created several meals. I gave eveyone time until tomorrow to update the sheet and then tomorrow evening I’ll post the meals here to look at together before we add it to the sheet.
Is that a good idea?

Hi there,

I'm going for Level Rainbows: 1 - 8 books, option 1.

Ghost: Blue Lily, Lily Blue 10/22

Thanks, Annalisa, no rush. You do what you can and reading should be fun ;)

No problem. Enjoy your days away.

If everyone can update the sheet before 16th October, then it would be great! Then I can add everything in the competition sheet.

@Chris: for me it's all the same.
@Lau: no problem :)

I'll look for more combinations and post the options here tomorrow.

I've almost finished the first draft from our meals. Can I put here what I've come up with or does everyone wants a pm?

@Melanie: I'll pull the ones out that aren't read yet. Maybe that's a good idea to use the scavenger words as the first option. I'll continue tomorrow. It's not easy creating those meals :p

@Chris: oops, forgot that too! We don't eat that in Belgium, so haven't paid attention to it.

So, for now:
- I've added the books, pages and dates to the teamsheet. Where there isn't still a date added, please add the date or if the book isn't finish, can you give a sign?
- we need a bit of explenation what's our team name is about.
- looking at the sheet, we can't combine spell it out and scavenger hunt
- I'm still working on meals and possiblities.

I'm working on updating the team sheet. Is it possible to add the reading date in our sheet, so I can add them to the teamsheet?
Also, we need to tell what's our team name is about. A little of explenation why we choose that name. Any ideas?

Sorry , I still need to get my book...

I've got a couple of things created, but I think I'll print the sheet out, so I can make notes and delete the items I've used.

I'm working on possible combinations, but: can we use 'mashed potatoes' as 'potatoes' for fish and chips'? If so, we've got all 4 items for the scavenger unt of 'fish and chips'. Nevermind, I've found the 'potatoes'!

I don't think we can combine spill it out words with scavenger items?

No problem, Chris, you've contributed with other books ;)
I've finished one too, but will add it tomorrow.
@Melanie: could the 15th work for you, if everyone has added their books by then? Then we've got a day or so to work things through or do we need more time?
