Kirsten | 573 comments lemon, sage, ginger, and honey (if you still have them available) would probably work as additions to other dishes.

I updated today and finished a bunch of things. If you don't see stuff to add to, start a new meal and leave enough spaces to finish. One of us will prolly come along and fill things in.

Drinks and desserts are only 500+ pages.

Prob best not to use them trio"


Similar question: what to do with audiobooks? I wrote down the chapter - is that enough?

I thought everyone should try to describe their books .... at least it seemed like that in the video

Wow we have been busy ... what should we focus on now 🤔
Should we try to make specific meals?

Do we need for every meal a drink?

Ok, thanks


message 260: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Trio..you are only allowed to use a number of works per book ( depending on page count ) it tells you on main book page how many you can use and how many you used so far
For Drawn in you can use 8 and you used 21.so im going to have to remove a lit and from another book as well.( ill pick the best to keep 😄)


message 261: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Claudia you still need locations for about 5 items first one line 179


message 262: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Sorted SS ..had to get rid of a lot of your stuff trio..sorry
Ive added everything to shop front up to and incl meal 86 ( even though some are not finished )

There are still a lot of items not been added ( dark green on main book sheet so i think we ought to use them first and get out of the way ..prob about 100 items )
Then we only have about 6 books left that we can add

So if we add everything first then can take it from there

Kirsten | 573 comments Amazing work, Janeylou!

I love that I autocorrect to your name. It makes me feel warm and shiny.

I just read another amazing book with tons of food: Tramps and Vagabonds. If you like historicals, it’s a brilliant Depression era MM that nearly made me cry with the writing and story.


message 266: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments that makes a lot more sense, okay
thank you for straightening it out Janeylou (and yes my phone pops up JANEYLOU automatically too K haha)

message 270: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments Janeylou is the best. I could totally do Raiders for the movie exchange--1st of at least a 4 book series. That sounds fairly easy. But I want to know what else is out there.


message 271: by Claudia (new)

Claudia | 103 comments Thanks Janeylou ...

I added some meals and some missing ingredients as well as the missing positions


message 272: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments okay, I added a book. I picked sandwish, secured 7 spots, filled in the 4 that the SS says I can have LOL - did I do it right?

We have a sandwich and pasta half started


message 276: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments This is what the customers eat

CUSTOMERS

Children ; only eat fish and chips (no vinegar), sandwiches, quiche, juice and water.

Teenagers ; eat all frozen meals, soda/soft drinks and desserts.

Adults ; eat everything. May even give you a tip (which allows you to preserve fresh food for next month)

Pensioners only eat Sandwich, Fish and Chips (with vinegar), Tea and Coffee and pasta (and in month 1 the special)

Customers are randomised at the end of the month to eat the team meals. (This will impact your points as meals eaten will depend on your customers. Waste can also be expensive for restaurants!


message 277: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments NON ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

Children juice/ water..we have
2 x juice
0 x water
@ Claudia , you havnet added any items from job hunt yet , can you look for water & juice please

Teenagers soda / soft drinks
Coke/ pepsi/ lemonade ..are these classed as soda , i would say so
Rootbeer/ milk ..i would class as soft drinks

Adults / pensioners we should be ok


message 278: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments If we get all the items on SS that still need to go we can see what we need to make
Im thinking at least a few more curries

After this first month we can get a better idea of how it works and next month it may be best to decide what meals we want in advance


message 279: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments We've whizzed through 80 books, wether we need to do the longer books remains to be seen.
But well take it easy this month any plan a bit more next
The next 2 months accept more books 😳

We still have a good 10 left and we need to describe meals as well ..up to 90 so far , so anyone who wants to do some , think i may do a few each day ..although some of our meals are going to need snazzy decriptives to get people to eat them 😄😄


message 280: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Just noticed chocolate is accepted as a dessert so Claudia , see if you have a few in Job Hunt


message 281: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments I’ve got a curry in the book I’m reading now.


message 282: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Ive got quite a few as well in my books but we'll see what we get in books already posted first

Do the customer always need a drink and a meal?

Did one of you read a book of the month? If yes, we could change customer if needed.
I looked through the books but there are no MM books and I read only that at the moment 😐

You can use for desserts

From Q & A.....If you look at the details for the categories, whereas the others give examples of ingredients that is not the case for desserts. It needs to be the name of a dessert or a generic term such as "tart"

Ok, i read that before but now it does make sense

So, i could do a chocolate cake with icing and cream ? ... and now i think i have to eat something sweet 😋

You could but i think you have to use 4 words / items to do it

Trio | 259 comments what did we decide about audiobooks? is referencing the chapter enough to justfiy a food?


message 295: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments and Skydive has a page count... 370! I'll PM you with the link Amanda if you don't mind adding it when you have a chance for me?
but the Barbara Elsborg still doesn't.

Should I remove Tell No One? It had a ton of crazy foods in it... could I add it back in later?

How long does it take normally for them to do pg count


message 298: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 696 comments So Amazon usually adds the page count when they have a paperback edition (although sometimes they add it without it).

I have a number of books to search through, what do we need ?(they're under 500)


message 299: by Trio (last edited Sep 18, 2022 10:40AM) (new)

Trio | 259 comments drinks and desserts come up in all of my books... the problem is I almost never read anything as long as 500 pages.

I'll try to find something long so I can contribute in the drinks/desserts category asap.
