Yikes!!!! I have misplaced my notes on Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World : ( I will keep looking for them and hopefully I will find them.
I will get those on and get meals made
I got power back at 930 last night from hurricane so this is my first day back on goodreads. So glad that mess is over. Was stressful as I'm sure you can imagine.
Here's the countdown to the end of the round. I should have my last book By a Thread finished. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...
I'll have my last book, By a Thread, finished before the deadline although I might not get the date added until tomorrow since I'll be cutting it close to time to work.

Congrats team!! :) Robin is the one who gets the credit for this fun name
Can someone check in with Ms. Soule?
Do we need more books or specific foods?
can you list your ingredients please we got 3 hours to finish
Stephanie wrote: "I will get those on and get meals made"Thanks Stephanie!!! I appreciate your help.
So much has been going on here I just can't keep up. My grandson had surgery yesterday so I've been helping with watching the other grandkids for this past week. My son has surgery on Monday. And I've been dog/house sitting for another family member. Hopefully things will begin to settle down for October and I can read and focus more on tracking ingredients. Right now I'm just reading in small time frames.

They have been working on our internet service so we have been without service for periods of time lasting 1-8 hours at a time. Last night it was down for 7 hours.

I think I got everything I can get from mine. If somebody needs one more ingredient for something, I can comb back through my ebooks. :-)

I haven't been on GR this weekend or much the past few days but have been reading. Will do updates soon
Looks like we were in 10th place after last month's score. I am not sure how they figure out to give tips to and who's "still hungry" on the status sheet. I know we under-read a bit as well. I have a feeling this will be a stronger month with book volume. I read a lot this week and will start planning some of my meals soon.
Ah, I see. Looks like it's the adults that tip, and it's based on your status on the spreadsheet, so that makes sense. Solves the tipping question for me.Fresh Food from round 1 not consumed
Fresh food not used will be rotten unless you received tips from adults to preserve.
The amount of tips you have from round 1 is directly attributable to your "Look at the crowds!!" Place.
Place Tips
Top 3 20% of adults tipped
4-7 15% of adults tipped
8-10 10% of adults tipped
11-14 5% adults tipped
And looks like we have a fun bonus for round 2 - this month only:"Use your spell-it-outs and scavenger hunts to find items to keep kids entertained. Think board games, crayons, toys, books, peg games, tablets, face painting, clowns.... use your imagination!!
MAXIMUM 20 ITEMS IN TOTAL"
October Fresh Meal doesn't look too difficult
"◈ Chicken nuggets and waffle fries (chicken, bread or bread crumbs, salt, egg, flour, potato, oil)
Must contain chicken, potato and oil."
Doing great keep up the good work everyone!
I know I haven't updated all month, but plan to do this weekend for sure. Been getting reading in at least!
Well nevermind that, didn't get on this weekend on the computer at all, but will work on getting all updated this week. At least I have been reading. Trying to straighten sleep out a bit so hit by the sleepy bug right now.

A lot of my books right now don't have a lot of food in them : ( Hopefully I will get to a few more that do before long.

A series I read will be used for spell it outs for sure. It's future dystopian and they only eat basic repetitive food. :)
I have been busy with work and all the fun plans this week, but reading when I get a chance. Haven't put in last read books on Goodreads even or updated challenges. Maybe I'll get some time / mood tomorrow :/

I finished a book that has like all the ingredients of a salad on one page that I'll add in before the deadline as well. Just booted up the computer after a lazy (but non-computer) Saturday. This month is flying by
Erin, on the spreadsheet it looks like you're using the spell-it-out option for the monthly special, but you're spelling out things for last month's special. This month's special is chicken nuggets and waffle fries (requiring chicken, potatoes, oil). I think you could reuse most of your spell-outs for curry or a sandwich.Robin, I'll start adding your books.
Update: Robin's book Ketchup Clouds is still available for spell-it-out options, if anyone needs it.

I'll change it today and work on adding on all my books completely up to date since it's the last day.
I put in the special, but did not click the given to customer box as I'm not sure when we do that. Going to add other food items now.

As best I know, we don't check that box off - the mods do at the end of the round, I think? I could be wrong though, I'm figuring out this challenge as we go, lol.
I am working on a sandwich now.I have completed a Salad, hot tea, and cappuccino also.
I think I've added the rest of my books. I'll have to look back through a couple of other challenges to make sure I didn't miss anything. I added meals for 2 of the them. I'll work on the rest this evening or tomorrow morning. I have to head to work now.
I have a few more may be able to add, but did these completed meals for now: Monthly Special, Fish and Chips, Cappuccino, Hot Tea, Sandwich, Salad.
