A slightly dry dinner in northern Antarctica. Although meals are secondary to snacking throughout the day, they are still social events for the community. In part because of the beak notch, most cultures tend to eat dryer food earlier in the day and then less solid food later on. Friends will tend to gather when they eat, and out of all meals, dinner becomes a significant social occasion resulting from the large number of Directors heading back to sleeping areas/recreation and such after eating and cleaning off. Much of the food is served in what it was made in, though not all of it. Water is regularly dumped out and refilled. This being one of the first groups to arrive since the area was cleaned, there isn't much in the way of spillage, but there will be.
The beak notch:
It was smaller in the past, and its slow expansion has been attributed to the increased necessity of tool use. It's not large enough to prevent adequate food/water intake, but it does mean that some will inevitably spill out. When this actually became a problem for sanitation as larger communities developed, it became common for eating areas to have floor mats dedicated to collecting what drops down that and are then washed afterward, having them on platforms so the food can be dropped down, or a mix of both.
Recycling:
In the past, they've used food waste as biomass for insect farms/compost. It is also now used to help with biotech cultivation.
As a community activity:
Meals contribute quite a bit to daily life since communities tend to eat in the same place as a social activity. Wake up, eat a fairly dry snack with water, and start the day, with meals typically getting less dry and drinks more flavorful as the day goes on. At least one large meal is often had in the evening where most of the community gathers at once and groups interact, share gossip, and otherwise just chill for a bit. After that, most will head to communal bath houses where they'll clean up before dispersing again, either to sleep for the night or begin community nighttime functions.
Bragging to the other collectives about how many dead things they harvested from the biomass pile but then the engineering collective challenges the plant ag collective to a platform duel for fun (king of the hill but the platform is suspended like 50 feet in the air) so like half the group breaks off and the sanitation collective gets angry and starts scolding them because the fuckers just made their job 10 times more difficult by making a mess everywhere because they tried to take their food out of the eating area to watch without making prior arrangements.

@steddiemas Day 21: Home
Tumblr media
"There that's the last box all done!" Steve said placing the last of the dishware away in the cupboard.
"Eds, did you finish unpacking our clothes?" He called down the hallway to the bedroom. Eddie came out the door and wrapped Steve up in a hug. "Even folded them nicely, we, my dear Stevie, are officially moved in."
It had taken months of saving from both their works, cutting down on eating out, being firmer with the kids' arcade limits but finally they'd saved up enough to put a down payment on a small little house on the edge of Hawkins. Far away from any nosy people that wanted to bang on their door about the devil.
"You know what that means right?"
"We can break in that new mattress we splurged on?"
Steve blushed and playfully slapped Eddie's shoulder, "No! Well, yes, but later, now we get to open the fun boxes."
"The fun box under the bed?"
"Edward!"
"What baby, Wayne is already dropping the kids off, we're finally alone in our home."
The way Eddie said our home made Steve's heart flutter but he was on a mission.
"No, first we gotta put up the Christmas decorations. It's only a week away after all, we're basically behind in Christmas cheer."
Eddie smiled and gave Steve a kiss on the cheek, "I'm going to be dreaming of boxes for weeks."
Switching on the Christmas tree lights for the very first time in their new home felt magical. The soft yellow light spilled through the room, bathing the boys in its glow. Eddie wrapped his arms around the back of Steve as they admired their handiwork.
"Welcome home, sweetheart."
"Welcome home, Eds."

A year ago I moved into my first house, the first place that was just mine, my first time living alone. This house & I have been through a lot in the last year and as silly as it sounds it caused me to fall out of love with my house, to lose all the excitement I had. Here’s to my second year in my first home, to making it mine & falling back in love with my perfect tiny home 🏡

Changing Refrigerator Door Opening Direction
The thing about moving into our own home is that we get to fix things that bother us. The downside is my list of fixit’s is so long that some items, like this morning’s fridge door fix we talked about, but just never made it to the physical list. My list is like a 5 year plan with marvel-esque phase roll outs. This morning’s issue was the refrigerator door. For some reason, the way the fridge…

Current method of unpacking: 1) Take everything out of boxes and wrapping. 2) Get all boxes and wrapping to dump. 3) Feel a sense of satisfaction until the disorder forces you to put things away.
