My Restaurant Rocks 2022
>
Team Wild Oats
I've just added in food and drink from 2 300+ and 1 500+.I've read 2 more 300+ books since last posting; I can add those in if needed.
I'll work on descriptions later. Let me know if you DON'T want me to do your meals.
Ok Kirsten can you add your 2 x 300 books
Then
Amanda can you add one of yours and that will give us 80 books
@ Kirsten, ive seen youve put your books on ss It says you have items left in lines
26
65
68
69
71
73
74
If you can only do.part meaĺs perhaps amanda can finish them off
I have lots of books I can add so Kirsten let me know if you need me to fill stuff!
Amanda, I want to to swap Fit to be Tied and Protection for 200+ books, both with TONS of food. If you could take over my With this Ring and Socks for an Otter, that would be FANTASTIC.
Amanda , ill let you know when ive sorted SS around , some meals not got right amount of items , so need to figure out how to sort
Amanda , everything highlighted Yellow is in main shop ..i do need you to put a spice in line 472 if possible as speacials need a spice ( not herb) so i had to move
I still have 300+ books with some good food options if there is still space left
❤️TEAM❤️For next month do we still want to do the scavenger items or should we change it up and do the Spell.it out
Eg Pasta , we would spell out
Ravioli, Spaghetti, Fusilli , Peppers and then we can desribe them however we wont as long as the item mentioned in description .
Thus may be easier as we can plan what types of meals we want in advance and then just slot in letters

Kirsten you still some items outstanding on read books

I think that's a good idea. Then we can decide which we like better for the final month

Soon, I promise!
No worries, i just like to write everything down so i know where i am

if you want to give it a try this way, I'm game!
So I don't feel too lost Kirsten can you let me know when you're done and I'll fill in the gaps? I know you said on our other challenge you're very busy with work so not rushing! Just don't want to mess everyone's hard work up

Sounds good.
If we don't like it, we can change it

Let me know if you don't want to do it or dont have time, then I will add one

If you've been keeping note of food in yours you can fill in once Kirsten's done instead of me. I would be searching out which I have no problem doing, but did not keep notes as most I listened to.
Hello, my dear friends--I have added meals for ALL of my books.
I did drinks for Fit to be Tied and With this Bling.
I found salt to add to my curry for spice from Daddy Issues
I made a vegetarian sandwich with Wildfire and Socks for an Otter.
So, I think we just need book 80 (not it!) and we'll be done, unless anyone else has items outstanding.
I promise that I will do descriptions sooner rather than later... when do they have to be finished?

I have concerns about this. A 500+ book only gives us 12 letters. Spaghetti alone would take up 9 of them (unless I'm missing something?
I was thinking that as DDC can only be used from 500 books we can still do this section as scavenger hunt , also i vould read 2 barista books and get all the coffees done from that .I thik it'll make descriptions easier and we could do nicoise and have a proper salad to describe
Kirsten, for line 472 it has to be a spice and not sure salt will work..have you got anything elseAnd the.last 8 items can only come from a 500pg book, so they wont work either sorry

ffing h.
I found cardamom in With This Bling and made a sandwich with Fit to be Tied, Bling, and the swapped Daddy Issues. Dear god, let this be done.
Ok....ive swapped a bit round ,.added a book for the full 80 and every meal done We now need to make sure every meal has a desription, so please all pop on a write something
Next month should be easier if we looking for letters , as i will sort meals out in advance
Have you all voted on survey ..message # 174..only takes 2 minutes

I did it when I got the notification... I don't think we're gonna win.
added the two positions for pass interference and some meal descriptionslet me know if I should add something
Voting now! Just to clarify, we have all our meals and I don't need to add anything? I'm sorry I'm so lost and needing hand holding!
So since we can't vote for our own team, do we just put our team last?
I just left it blank--in the Q&A, they said to either do that or vote last. They'll take out our own restaurant when they tabulate our votes so we don't lose points. If you're lost, I'm blind, helpless, lost and crazy. I really love reading and talking with all y'all, but this is not my favorite challenge--the movie one and Hogwarts are swell, but this is a ton of work (especially for poor Janeylou).
I've been describing meals and if you want to do some you can. I'll keep checking back and continue for those that are left blank.

I love your descriptions. I did some tonight. If there are sone left tomorrow, I will add some
What is the hogwarts challenge?
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Amanda and I are Slytherin; Caipi is a Hufflepuff, and Janine and Trio are Gryffindor. Totally low commitment (imo) and fun. Next year we'll invite you if you like--I didn't want you to get too overwhelmed with our crazy!

I agree that this one (Hogwarts) is great! Your level of commitment is totally up to you. Some weeks I do the 1 required book plus one or two others, other weeks I do a ton of additional books.

oh definitely - I love Hogwarts :-)
one book a week is no trouble and I like your kind of crazy ;)
how do you get into your house? do you get to choose or is the sorting hat choosing ???
Claudia , i feel awful , i did ask if you wantned to join ( think i called it Quiddich) but you said you didnt want to over commit I try and give more info in future on what included ..sorry

Kirsten, you will find this so much easier next month all you need to do is find charcters/ ailuthors/ title with certain letters and im going to add a ton of letters at start..so no trying to make up meals
Unfortunately a lot of these italian pastas have 'i' s in them which are always hard so start saving some up 😄

Sorting hat chooses, but it’s pretty random.
All y'all, unless I'm missing something, we're done with the spreadsheet.I'm off to workout, gang bang pick, and finish SH.
Also read for Hogwarts and the movies.
Thanks Kirsten , i saw that someone was adding descriptions .Im not sure if we have to check in or not ..will take a look

Not your fault! At that time I was so stressed, I didn’t think I could do it.
So definitely not your fault. But maybe next time ...
It would be great if you could still ask me .... pretty pretty please

Claudia, I feel so lucky that I glommed onto this group (of Janeylou, Amanda, Trio, and Caipi) during Batter Up! (the easiest damn challenge EVER) and now they plus you are my book challenge ride or die. I will always invite you when I do a team challenge.
Also, I've got 2 more Marshals to read, with Ian as and MC...

This is why i will be DEVASTATED if Amazon ever stops working on GR or gets rid of it. You meet so many fun/interesting people and get to do the thing you enjoy with likeminded people.
Janeylou is the challenge wizard. She can find them so quickly
New challege been opened , but i havent worked out how it works yet 😄😄https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Cant pick your own teams but only 2 teams anyway
We have been ranked 11th out of 14 ..so not good im afraid ..160 people went hungry !!!!!Give me a few days to sort SS out and we'll try again
Im going to take a look at a few of the high scorers sheets
I don't understand--my SS looks like we didn't have any customers? Or sell any meals? I thought we had to match them up? And is there a place where we got customers? Asking in Kitchen Prep, too.

I do still have a few books left, and it looks like we have room for 3 more besides? Anyway, let me know if you want me to add more. Since I last updated, I've read 2 more 300+ books (so much rather read than log!).
