The food-selling went much better than expected, raking in over twice our modestly projected amount. Definitely enough to buy a new set of bike tires (I posted a sign on a cabinet "Some dickhead/s stole my shit!" which proved to be effective in relaying the cause).
After about twenty seconds of brainstorming, we came up with a sign reading "Madam Crispy's Ethno-Food Bucket: Cheap food for you filthy whore mouths." I am Madam Crispy, and will henceforth be addressed as such. The menu was low-cost and went splitsies between Korean and Mexican fare. Every item was two bucks (a focus group comprised of my boyfriend's room/bandmates pushed for a dollar menu, saying three bucks was too many bucks. Behold the art of compromise).
The menu specs are as follows:
*Korean mandu- dumplings filled with glass noodles, tofu, carrot, green onion, spicy chorizo (optional for vegetarians), and seasoned with garlic, ginger, s&p, and sesame oil. Pan fried to order with choice of wasabi mustard or spicy bean paste dippin' sauce.
*Fried rice- Red and green bell pepper, peas, carrots, onion, (beef and egg optional), all sauteed in a wok (!) to order with rice and soy sauce.
*Chips and Guac- make a pico with tomato, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, serrano, cilantro and smush it around with lime and avocado. I made the tortilla chips (that is, I fried the soft tortillas from the store) and it's seriously THE ONLY WAY YOU SHOULD BE EATING TORTILLA CHIPS!!!! Also, save your fryin' oil. Thank me later.
*Pineapple enchiladas- Big ups to m'lady Kara for the recipe. A can of pineapple, two cans of black beans, cilantro, a whole red onion, sour cream, and cheese. Roll it up and smother in enchilada sauce and cheese (we used Chihuahua cheese for the filling and sharp cheddar for the topping) Bake at 350 for...um...whenever you think it's melty and hot.
And that's all, folks. I wish I had some pictures, but my man was busy DJ-ing/rocking and I was busy cooking/drinking strangers' whiskey. Thank you, strangers!
