Event - CTS Foreyule Feast
Nov. 30th, 2004 01:39 pmThe (vegetarian) food was beautiful. Don't listen to Becky, she's a great cook. There was pre-bought fake roast and spinach-cheese-pastry things; and apparently-improvised mushroom cheesy sauce thing, which I resolve to make myself at every opportunity (fortunately none of those awkward people who think you can have too much mushroom were vegetarian, as the soup was also mushroom, and good); and roast parsnips, and stuffing, and veg. And there were many sorts of beer.
Apparently the oven caught fire, which is quite impressive, being metal. But it was all ok, and Matthew managed not to kill the committee, and it mainly served as a fun way of teasing people, though not much, as food was produced as desired, in appropriate quantities, and roughly on time, which is a staggering feat of logistics :)
There was much hugging, and apparently much kissing, though I barely participated, having rather overdosed on kiss-orgy the previous saturday, and decided it is possible to kiss too many people, namely at that point when you've started kissing people not because you want to particularly, but because someone else has reached double figures and you haven't. But some people were very lovely, so I don't regret (and I'm sure everyone else was very lovely too, but not having spoken to them means I wouldn't know :)).
And there were annoying Tolkien-related games brought out which I can't remember the name of, including TWO copies of the board game where the main aim is to get pieces to kill each other in the same manner as the books so you can make jokes about it, and something new which looked to be the sort of thing which you could play with a die and a piece of paper, but had been packaged with a board, pieces, pack of cards, and box with something tolkien on for greater parephaneliality, which Matthew, and, I think, Matthew played, causing me to get headaches, and culminating when Matthew lay down a hand of four twos and Matthew surrendered.
