Beginner’s Porridge
Prep-time: 1-2 months
Serves: Almost everyone
Ingredients:
- 5 buckets of excitement
- 3½ knife-tips of confusion
- 1/3 pre-made friends (source at local occupation)
- A dash of apprehension
- 10-12 uncertain stares
- 10-12 confident consensus connoisseurs
- 7½ political positions
Procedure:
- Take the 5 buckets of excitement and place them in a circle on the floor, evenly spaced
- Sprinkle the 3½ knife-tips of confusion in between as you mix the uncertain stares and confident consensus connoisseurs in the middle. These tend to split, so be patient.
- Add the dash of apprehension just before the mass is properly mixed. Don’t worry – it is meant to look a little off, but it will combine later.
- Now it is integral that you take the premade friends and distribute them evenly. If these lump together, it is very hard to smooth the porridge in the end.
- As you stir the mix, slowly drizzle the 7½ political positions into it. This gives it a nice structure and cohesion, making your beginner’s porridge a perfect start to the day!
Learner’s Luncheon
Prep-time: 5 months roughly

- ¼ outcome
- A handful of apologies

Midnight Munchies
Prep-time: 2 weeks continuously & 1 day months later
Serves: yet to be determined
Ingredients:
- A big chunk of missed opportunity
- A teaspoon of disappointment
- 5 dl of creative energy
- 20/20 hindsight
- A dash of obligation

- Bake the dough for a week or two, spraying obligation into the oven to avoid the dish drying out.
- Store for a month or two and bring to a public feast!
