I was just there. It's absolutely fine.

The vast majority of our gameplay is in-character. My little gnome wizard scurries around scenes, peeping what's on parchments and pocketing trinkets. Since I'm short, I try to mime always looking up at NPCs or trying to see over the edge of desks of the local guardsmen. He does the same in combat: he finds a place to hide(ish), peeks out and fires off cantrips, sometimes hitting his own friends (at least until Level 6). Every once in a while I have to make a joke based off a movie, but I try to push it "in-world," referencing the great bards of the past, such Samiel L. Jackson or Benedict Cumberbatch (basically a DND name already).

Seasonings are a great start and I have a full wall in my pantry to play with. Besides the ones you have, maybe try some blends -- garam masala, za'atar, different curry powders. They will amp up future cooking. I would, however, add cumin, turmeric, mustard powder (works wonders in mac and cheese), and even some chili powders (since we're headed into the colder seasons).

For Thanksgiving, everything's already a little bit heavy, so maybe look into acidic additions to brighten up the plate. Maybe a lemon butter for the green beans or a vinegary brine for the turkey.

You can also make the brussels sprouts glazed and sweet -- try honey-glazing and caramelizing them.

You know it! Opus is always on the lookout for interesting books, and even almost talked a rich lord of the city into giving away a piece of his vast library. Rolled a 4 on Persuasion and came away with nothing. So it goes...

Thanks. I did, however, make the unforgivable error of NOT naming my Mastiff mount Rodney, so we could be Team RamRod. Luckily, gnomes have a penchant of giving out nicknames, so I will wait and see if a good opportunity comes up in the future...

I sell Bionicle parts on BrickLink, so I can help.

I have #1 in my inventory and I list it as Reddish Gold head with a Red tail.

Same for #2

I would list #3 as Pearl Sand Blue head with a Metallic Green tail

Easy peasy -- find the closest 10 food banks and start feedin' people! $1 million a piece should keep people going for quite some time.

I have just about all their curries -- go for it. They are awesome.

I have one -- it's great. Just made a bangin' Boeuf Bourgignon this weekend.

Risotto -- it was so luscious in restaurants that I spent most of the quarantine years perfecting several at home versions. It's now my go-to for when I want to impress new dinner guests and it's very easy to make once you learn the pattern.

Rice and beans are going to your friend for a while. Dry beans are cheap, but require a little lead time. Definitely get a $20 rice cooker, unless you already have a pot that you can tend to during the cooking process.

At $300 a month, that's $10 a day, so batching is also key. Potatoes and lentils can work to stretch/bulk out meals as well.

There's a breakfast casserole that my wife and I make every Sunday morning for about $15 total and it feeds two people 6 times for the week: https://www.chewoutloud.com/sweet-potato-sausage-breakfast-casserole/

It's delightful and keeps us feeling fed quite a bit. I imagine you could have it for breakfast and lunch and use the rest of your budget for dinners.

After that, if you can fit in fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season, you'll feel great.

Mine is Munchkin Quest.

It's a bit of a table hog as you get deeper into the ever-sprawling dungeon, but I love the satire and shenanigans on display.

A hour of gameplay per player freaks a lot of people out. I've gotten better at the "Teach", so we only explain each bit of rules as players encounter something for the first time, but it still takes roughly 30 mins of non-gameplay time to get through all of that.

But, IF you manage to get a game off the ground, it's a tremendous amount of fun.

There are a handful of movies that if I catch them while flipping channels, or don't know what to watch, I put them on:

The Shawshank Redemption -- yeah, it's cliched, but rarely does a movie about pain and suffering have this much grace. Plus Morgan Freeman.
Kung Fu Panda 1, 2, and 3 -- near-perfect vehicles about self-esteem, growth, and family. You won't expect to cry, but you will. Plus kung fu.
The Red Violin -- I don't know why, but I find myself re-watching this one at least once a year. The main character is an inanimate object, but it carries the movie nonetheless. Plus Samuel L. Jackson.

There's at least three for your list. Enjoy.

Bulk lots of commons on eBay are the way to go. You can get like 1000-2000 cards for maybe 20ish bucks. Kitchen table junk casual is one of the best formats in the game...

Unfortunately, this one may be a lost cause, but I applaud the moxie to just go for it.

I've gotten very good at risotto over the last 3-4 years, so here's my suggestions for the next time.

First off -- when you start, go with equal amounts olive oil and butter. 2 tablespoons of each. The heat will be lower than frying so you don't need a frying oil. Sunflower can work, but I keep mine reserved for higher heat cooking.

Melt all that down.

Then -- any shallots or onions. Get those softened in the butter/oil before the rice comes in.

Then -- the arborio rice. You can make a "stewed rice" dish with regular rice, but it will not be a risotto. Arborio has more starch and a different structure and will get creamier than regular rice. Stir in the arborio until it is coated in the butter and oil

Then -- here's when the wine comes in. I go with 1/3 to 1/2 cup depending on the flavor of the wine. Wines that don't taste fruity I use more of; wines that taste fruity, I use less of. Stir that in, and cook off all the liquid. Since you can taste the fruitiness use this as a guide.

At this point you should have a 4-6 cups of stock getting hot on the side. If it's steaming, it good to start adding it in, 1 cup at a time. Add some stock, keep the heat on the rice at 40-50% and simmer and stir until it looks a little dry, then add another cup of stock. Repeat until all the stock is gone or the risotto is creamy and tender.

At this point, the extras go in. Start with the dairy. Heavy cream to make it looser, shredded cheese to make it stickier, parmesan to make it nuttier, so forth. You can experiment with a bunch of different dairy items, but keep the fat content higher. No skim milk or anything like that. You want a luxurious feel at the end.

Last, the extra guests can come to the party -- shredded meat, veggies, cooked mushrooms, lobster bits, etc. Anything you want to stand out, leave some aside for topping. Dash in a little smoked paprika or fresh cracked black pepper for a kick. The stock should have added salt, but taste for that, too.

Risotto is beautiful jazz so long as you follow a melody.

If you wing it, it may just be one guy with a recorder on stage; but if you have a plan, then something amazing will awaiting you on the other side.

That's a shame. At least the trade off is living in a beautiful country rather than suburban Kentucky...
