Cooking,
Clean-up and Dinner-out Schedule
The schedule below shows the
current assignments for cooking, clean-up,
and dinner out at a local
restaurant. The cook shown in bolded
(and capitalized) type is the Head Chef,
which may or may not mean anything.
Clean-up duties pertain only to
post-dinner clean-up, not to breakfast or
lunch, which people are expected to take
care of themselves. "N" is the
number anticipated for dinner at the
conference site.
Dinner at the conference
site is scheduled whenever the cooks
announce it is. The dinner out
group will assemble at 6:00 PM for the
drive to the restaurant.
Dinner is a communal
effort, and those not assigned to
cooking or clean-up duty on any given
night are nonetheless encouraged to
pitch in and help in any way they can.

NOTE: This schedule
is subject to changes, which can become
numerous, due to domino effects.
This is simply my initial plan. I
did attempt (with pretty good success!)
to accommodate everyone's preferences.
People may switch
assignments (excepting dinner out) by
mutual agreement.
Basic rules (which I
follow as much as possible, but cannot
always):
1. No one is
expected to do any combination of dinner
out, cooking, or clean-up on the same
night.
2. Insofar as
possible, people are not asked to do
cooking/clean-up duties on consecutive
nights.
3. No one is asked to cook
on a day they are giving their talk (as
this could create a conflict with
shopping or meal preparation).
4. In general, no one is
asked to do clean-up the night before
they are scheduled to talk.
5. People who were
indifferent to going out were assigned
to do so. It makes life easier for
the cooks if they have a smaller group
to serve at the house.
6. All dinner groups,
cooking and clean-up teams are gender
balanced to the extent possible.
Which was more difficult than usual this
year, so I tried to make sure that at
least the dinner out groups were
balanced.
7. No one is assigned to
cook or clean up prior to their expected
arrival or after their expected
departure. But I am not always
fully aware of arrival and departure
times, so please check these and let me
know if you see any problems.
8. I have tried to
assign larger groups of cooks and/or
clean up crews on nights when virtually
everyone will be eating at the house.
