Hey island!

Do you remember my idea about multicultural nights - http://asylums.insanejournal.com/compass_network/1290086.html ?

I think it's time we got them started, with a potluck dinner. In about a month? That should give us plenty of time to pick a place, and decide what to bring.

It would be simple - bring a dish that's from your home and we'll have a big dinner, trying new foods. Or if you're a born-here islander, bring a dish that reflects your background or your favourite island treat. Us Sullys might all end up bringing pie, so we need variety from the rest of you. :)

Everyone is welcome. If you need a specific ingredient, ask around - someone may know where to get it on the island or know a good substitute. If you don't cook, give me a recipe and I'll see if one of the many talented people on the island that do cook can help out. Or bring napkins or drinks or something. Or help set up or stay around and help with the dishes.

It'll be a fun night. What do you say, island?

	Excellent! Are you going to bring something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	borrowed_finery 2016-08-31 05:08 am UTC (link)
	Yes! Since we have so many pie enthusiasts, I can bring Pirozhki. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not a skilled cook but I'll try to rustle up something Asgardian. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That'll be awesome! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can try.

It'll be tough though.

I don't know if I can find the same vegetables around here, and I doubt there's bantha or nerf meat to be used. I guess maybe if I used beef instead...

The hard part really is which planet's food to try and replicate. Tattooine's is very different from Coruscant's or the Corellian recipes my brother-in-law used. Or the Alderaani ones my sister knows.

I don't think it'll be that stew Yoda made though...it's ok once you get used to it, but it's definitely an acquired taste.

	Ask around. You'd be surprised at what we have here. Even if you can't find them, you might be able to find good substitutes. Try to replicate something you like! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	farmboyjedi 2016-09-08 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. I should be able to try something at least close, even if it isn't exact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sookie_sully 2016-09-08 12:55 am UTC (link)
	That would be great! It's going to be lots of fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	farmboyjedi 2016-09-08 04:43 am UTC (link)
	It does sound like it. At least it'll be a way to get to know a few new faces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sookie_sully 2016-09-08 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! Exactly! We should all be friends on the island. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	farmboyjedi 2016-09-09 12:19 am UTC (link)
	True. It might help to make a few new friends. The one person from home that I did know better than the others is gone now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sookie_sully 2016-09-09 02:20 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. It sucks when the island makes us lose people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	farmboyjedi 2016-09-09 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	I did appreciate what I was given...back home, my time with that friend was far too short. All I can do now is keep living and make friends here and hope that maybe the island will bring me someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sookie_sully 2016-09-09 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe it will. Anything is possible here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	farmboyjedi 2016-09-10 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	It seems that way, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm in Trinidadian and English on the list here. Quinn will insist on Cornish obviously. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Awesome! The more the better! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Can it be off planet culture? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sookie_sully 2016-09-08 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Of course! We want to have things from as many different places as possible - different planets, different galaxies, different universes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
