Since the
Cat is Out of the Bag on the
Doomstead Diner Micro-Food Truck, I decided to accelerate the timeline here on getting underway and did my first
"al fresco" cook for my Community yesterday. The dish served up was
Salmon Teriyaki, cooked up with freshly caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon gifted to me by a neighbor who I had previously shared the
Grilled Mediterranean Salmon I cooked up for the Diner 2019 Summer Solstice Celebration (still ongoing here on the Diner).
Here's the Salmon prior to getting cooked up, with SaVANnah in the background. Doesn't that look
SCRUMPTIOUS? Only really
FRESH Salmon looks like this.

I have shared my food on many occasions with other residents of my Community, but this was the first time I went out publicly in my decrepit state of physical health to cook
al fresco for anyone who cared to share in the food. I was motivated to do this by Negative Waves Inside the Diner from the Usual Suspects, who have been a constant source of problems and impediments in terms of getting the SUN Foundation up and running. Just
ONCE I would like to hear
"WOW RE! GREAT IDEA! How can I help?" rather than
"Here's why what you are trying to do won't work." or
"You are Don Quixote tilting at Windmills." But nooooooo. All I ever get is a bunch of negative waves and no help whatsoever. It's pretty tough to get an organization going when nobody wants to actually help you with the project. A decrepit cripple with one foot in the grave already working by himself from the Last Great Frontier of Alaska can only do so much, you know.
All
GOOD NEWZ on this first excursion out to do some Food Sharing and Potlach. First off, fabulous weather in the 70sF which is a little warm for me but I was sitting in the shade to cook so OK. Second, all the
FEAR MONGERING by the Negative Waves people did not come to pass, I did not get fined, I did not get arrested, I did not get jailed, and Bubba is not raping me in the Alaska State Prison, at least as of yet. lol. The notion that I am not aware of food service regulations and of the hoops you are supposed to jump through by Da Goobermint to serve up some food is truly a slap in the face to me, it's preposterous. First of all, I was a professional chef. Second I write on these topics all the time and have published numerous articles from others on Food Licensing problems for vendors in places like NY Shitty, where this can be a fucking a nightmare. 3rd, I'm a goddamn Collapse Professional, I make it my bizness to understand these problems and figure out work-arounds to them, if possible. 4th, I don't do anything I am not fully prepared to do, even when I just go camping I'm prepped to handle it if SHTF Day happens to arrive while out on the camping trip. 5th, I can buy a Mobile Food Truck Vendor license here on the Last Great Frontier at a reasonable price, this is not New York Shity. But I bet I don't have to do it, and I'll risk the fine and see what happens. If the Food Gestapo do show up, I'll do the
Full Cripple Act, plead ignorance and I bet I just get a warning.
On the outcomes end, the Salmon came out
FANTASTIC, it even got the
Seal of Approval from the kids, who not only ate it but came back for Seconds. You know your food is good if kids, particularly of this age will eat it. If they don't like it at best they refuse to eat more, or more commonly they spit it out. lol. Adults will lie to you and say it's
GREAT, when it really sucks and they are just trying to be polite. Unbelievably to me, people even do this at expensive restaurants, where when the Maitre d' comes over and asks you how the food was they say
"Oh it was great" and then dutifully pay they overpriced bill. Then, as soon as he walks away, they say to their dinner partner
"BLECCCHH! Total DOGSHIT! I'm never coming here again". lol. When I get dogshit food at a restaurant and the waiter or matre d' asks me how it was, I tell him/her
EXACTLY how I though it was, in complete detail. lol. I recently did this doing a Restaurant Review at one of the more expensive restaurants in the valley trying their Prime Rib, and the Maitre d' was on the verge of a Heart Attack. lol. To their credit though, the Seafood Diablo dish was excellent. Hven't edited or published that vid yet though, too much else ongoing.
Resultant from this first excursion out I
ALSO got gifted yet
ANOTHER 2 lbs of Salmon fillet, roughly a $30 value at current prices here on the last frontier, although this fillet is Sashimi Quality and would go for quite a bit more nicely sliced up raw. By the end of the week no matter how many different preparations I do, everybody is going to be sick of eating Salmon, even me. Next week, no fish, no matter how many more fillets people give me. It will go in the chest freezer for July 4th or something.
Anyhow, here is a Trailer/Snippet from yesterday's first Al Freso Cook for the Diner Micro-Food Truck Project. Now, does anyone actually want to HELP me here with this, or am I just going to get more Negative Waves?
