Ramengdan 6/25

8.

I decided I'd go for scavenging that matzo. Seems fair. More importantly, it seemed fun and in the spirit of surviving in the wastelands.

So how will I spin this whole "eating real food at a real restaurant" deal? I think the scenario I invented is that I'm finally leaving the main survivor camp on an extended mission into the wilderness. I always thought that if I did end up in such a community, that I'd volunteer to become a motorcycle scout. To go out into the wastes and try to find other survivor outposts. To try to negotiate trade deals. I don't even know how to ride a motorcycle, but I'm sure I could learn it if I had to. Roaming the country, sort of like in The Postman.

The story, then, is this: The Apocalypse has happened, we hoarded up all the food we could in the near term, but now we have to figure out how to survive long term. Need to go find farmland, farmers, food crops, that sort of thing. So everyone is disbanding to go exploring. We're gonna have one huge fancy sendoff meal before departing into the unknown.

And I'm gonna drag the rest of my cals with me. Obv, no more outside food after this luxury.

Lunch was the matzo I scavenged and 500 cal of Soylent. I'm going light in anticipation of a feast to honor all feasts for dinner.

Dinner was... amazing. Hungry Mother is almost done, with just 7 services before it closes doors. The chefs were really on their best game tonight. I had the 4 course dinner:
- calamari
- deviled crab
- smoked pork shoulder and some cornbread with sorghum butter on the side
- yogurt cheesecake, which reminded me of Beijing yogurt from my old childhood
Probably 2000 cals or so.

I passed on some desserts with rhubarb in there. It made me wonder, if this were really the post-Apocalypse, if I'd ever taste rhubarb again. As it is, I have it maybe once a year, even though I really love it.

That does it for real cooked food for Ramengdan. Back to doling cals out of the hoard.
