It’s not two turntables and a microphone

The contents of my trunk at the moment:

  • 6 cans of cocoa
  • 6 rolls of paper towels
  • 4 boxes of herbal tea
  • 4 different flavors of vegan granola bars
  • rice milk (chocolate and regular)
  • 1 large bottle of cinnamon
  • 6 rolls of toilet paper
  • 17 burger-sized portobello mushrooms

In addition, I have a food processor, a garlic roaster, a box of wine, a bottle of dry sherry, 12 freshly filled salt shakers, and an ice pack.
the question: what on earth is Susan doing, especially purchasing the bulleted list at 10:30pm on a Tuesday night?

the answer: preparing for Otherworld.
A big thank-you to Sarah SanClemente who was my Costco shopping buddy. In addition to the short list above of items I couldn’t find at Costco, I also have about 20 lbs of assorted cheese, 6 lbs of Dunkin Donuts coffee, 8 lbs of pecans, 1 gallon of maple syrup, 2 bottles of lemon juice, 64 oz of olive oil, over 100 gallon storage bags and a fresh roll of industrial saran wrap, and the list goes on. Between Costco and the friendly Putnam, CT Stop and Shop we acquire enough ingredients to feed 120 hungry adventurers for a weekend.

(and a few hints – hot cocoa supplies and some additional ingredients for vegan lactose-intolerant cocoa lovers, mushrooms for a hearty vegetarian dinner, wine for coq a vin for the set-up crew, sherry for marinating stuffed mushrooms, the salt shakers were poorly positioned under the slightly dripping water barrel so they clumped and needed to be rejuvenated with fresh dry salt, and and ice pack because we always need one for a twisted ankle or bee sting – ask if you have more questions.)
