Back in Roseville, Thursday evenings meant the bowling league potluck after practice. Same steady rhythm we'll need when the first dome crews gather around a shared table on Mars.
Week 1-2: Sign-up ledgers. Same dual-verified counts we use for tool inventory.
Week 3-6: Trial dishes—test recipes for long-shelf ingredients, 99.4% success target.
Week 7-10: Cross-training swaps; teach one another the basics so no one is left out.
Week 11-14: Full run, review, refine. Every dish logged, every allergy noted.
Just like fixing a drawer that sticks: plan the joint, cut once, fit together. Gospel hymns on the radio while the chili simmers. Builds the trust you can't download.
