Good afternoon Lunatia!
I'm Larry; Larry Laffer. I'm kind of new around here. It's nice to meet you all!
Now that Halloween/Geistnacht festivities are wrapping up, we're headed into November, or what we just call "the eleventh month" around here, I guess. Anyway, where I come from, there's a holiday called Thanksgiving that falls on the fourth Thursday of the month. It is what it says on the tin: a harvest holiday to give thanks for the previous year's crop. You celebrate it by hanging out with your family and loved ones, eat a gratuitous amount of seasonally appropriate food and drink, and watch sports on television together.
I'd like to host something like that here, if anyone would be interested. I know some of us might be missing our families from back home, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the friends and lovers that we've made here! Bring all the food and/or booze your heart desires, but as the host it's my responsibility to make the bird. (Whatever is the closest I can find to a turkey around here.)
On an absolutely related note, I could use someone on consult that knows how to cook.
This is meant to be an "open to all ages" kind of thing, but I was thinking that we could also have a post-dessert dessert of an orgy for those who qualify. That's not part of the tradition, but that doesn't mean we can't make it ours. I just figured that maybe everyone would like to leave the party topped off with turkey and Chroma for their holiday shopping. No pressure or anything, though!
RSVP here or on my answering machine if you're interested.

Just because you come for the food doesn't mean you have to stay for the orgy. Open door means exactly that: you're free to come and go as desired.
No one will be forced to participate in any orgy that Larry Laffer throws.
no subject
That's very good to hear, though. I wouldn't put it past someone with poor morals to try and compel as many people as they could to stay for such a thing.
You make the idea almost sound wholesome.
no subject
[He doesn't want to see it attempted, but the point stands. Does he have the strength to physically remove them? No, he doesn't need it.
He'll just make it so that they'll remove themselves just fine on their own.]
Sex is only fun if everyone involved wants it. Otherwise it's
[you know.]
...not sex.
no subject
[And now that he has redeemed himself at least a little... subject change!]
What exactly are the 'seasonally appropriate' foods, where you're from?
no subject
Disregarding the chances that these may sound alien to you:
Gourds (pumpkins, squash)
Root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, turnips, yam)
Autumn crops (apples, broccoli, corn)
Not an exhaustive list by any means, just what comes to mind first.
Turkey isn't necessarily "in season", it's just the tradition. Pig can be an option for those of gentile persuasion.
no subject
That's mostly familiar to me. Broccoli isn't one that I'd known before coming here, and we don't call them 'potatoes' where I'm from.
...did you misspell 'genitals'? What does that have to do with pork?
no subject
No. Gentile. As in not Jewish. They're weird about pigs.
It's a religion thing. Don't worry about it.
[...maybe that's all the more reason to worry about it...?]
no subject
Let's avoid ham, then, since there are people that don't eat it.
[Because she absolutely believes he will at least have people show up for food. You've got to be an optimist, in her line of work.]
Turkey, you said? I've seen it on sale here. Although where I'm from, you'd roast a dodo for a big holiday dinner. It's odd, nowhere here seems to have dodo meat.
What things do you already know how to prepare?
no subject
[It means that he doesn't have to go around sampling different local poultries to find what is the closest, taste- and texture-wise.]
I don't know the story here, but where I come from, dodos have been extinct for...centuries, I think?
I can throw edible things together and make sure they don't burn. That's about it. No fancy techniques or recipes.
no subject
I suppose that explains their absence here. Gods, though, the better part of La Noscea is just overrun with feral dodos. What's common in one place is a rarity in another, I suppose...
[But oh, she digresses.]
That's not very specific. Do you think all you'd need would be recipes, or could you use some actual guidance from someone in person?
no subject
Ideally, the latter. That is, you're available.
no subject
I am absolutely available! Let me know when you plan on hosting, and I can come over to lend a hand.
