Who: EVERYBODY Where: The Billiards Room/Kitchen When: 10:30am
Note: I'm figuring free-for-all rules? Maybe not separate mini-threads just in case the group actually wants to do meeting-type stuff and actually share info.
Being back in the kitchen and doing what he did best felt good. Not only was it a chance to help out the house, and maybe help people feel a little better about whatever the fuck was going on, but it gave him a chance to shove all of his other thoughts and worries away for a little while and focus on something he actually had control over, something useful and pleasant.
No one had responded to let him know if they had any preferences or dietary requirements, so he'd made sure that there could potentially be something for for everyone. Two breakfast casseroles, one veggie-based and one meat, potatoes, eggs, sausage and bacon, french toast, cinnamon rolls, fresh fruit with the option of a vanilla yogurt sauce and nuts or granola, ham and cheese pastries were all set up in the billiards room already. He'd covered the pool table to protect it, then used it as the buffet with all of the drinks, plates and cutlery anyone would need. It was a lot of food, and thankfully he'd had help like always, but everything would keep well for leftovers in case not everyone wanted to join the group.
Once the food was out, he almost immediately made himself a strong screwdriver, taking it to the window and peering out the snow-covered back yard and pool. February, hadn't the new people said? Possibly March or later now. Maybe spring was right around the corner. Optimism, right?
