I'm terrified that I will screw it up, and desperately hoping that Stacie, who has prior knowledge of this challenge, will volunteer!

I just added Other Birds to the spreadsheet. A couple of the dishes, from a restaurant, the description of them sounded so yummy that I included that in there. We're suppose to describe our dishes to entice our customers, right?

I just read in the Q&A that words in the title are allowed. So that's another Vinegar for Vinegar Girl. I'll add that to the spreadsheet.

Got them added. I'm adding all my Quidditch books right now. But, I read Watership Down. That's pretty much only going to be salad words. :)

Thanks, Louise. I’ll get that done later today.

Before I search Silver Borne for all the words, quick question. Do the page numbers/locations matter? Amazon's Look Inside only has the Kindle edition, so I can't search, and Google Books does not appear to have page numbers. I listened to it, rather than having an ebook.

My non-fiction for Quidditch was an audio. I know some food was mentioned. Now to try to find it! :)

Any tips for noting the foods in audiobooks? Right now I'm just going to Amazon's look inside and searching for the suggested words, plus any that I can remember. But I'm sure there were probably more in Orange Mint and Honey. I'm about to try to find the words in Totally Folked, and I'm sure I'll miss some!

If Chicken Curry is specifically mentioned in my book, does that get us anything, or do we still need to build the components of the dish?

Question: if something is mentioned more than once in a book, should I put that item on the spreadsheet multiple times? I noticed Stacie had a book with a lot of strawberries, so I figured I should check.

That one is on arbookfind. I think it was 70,000+.

So, if I'm reading The People of Sparks, which has Childrens MPG, and it mentions specific fruits, those can't be used for desserts because it is (a) Children's and (b) less than 500 pages?

Also, I entered this one of the spreadsheet. Did I do it right?

So the scavenger words are the items that make up the dish? Is the spell-out for the name of the dish?

Is there a list of scavenger words I should be looking for?

That's 2:00 my time. I've got a few to finish today and tomorrow, so the timing works out great for me!

Isn't our restaurant name Lettuce Read? We just need a blurb, right?

Hogwarts Quidditch also starts later in the month.

Well, crud. Now I need to figure out what I signed up for that starts mid-month. Does Pass the Parcel start later?

Does this start at the beginning of the month? For some reason I thought it was mid-month.

I’ll be gone about a week, whenever our house sells and we finally move. No idea when that will be, though. It’s been on the market almost 2 months.
