Bay to Breakers is in the morning. Are you humans still going to be up for (fantastic!) minigolf, (delicious!) beverages, and (inventive!) vittles after all that costumed running?

I'm going to try to be there on time, but I'm also trying to get something done last minute so I'm probably actually gonna be late. D-: (Don't hold up starting play on my account!)
This is my first MetaFilter meetup. Will it be obvious which group is From The Internet do you think?

Okay correction I will be very late, so I probably will miss the golf but hopefully show up at the restaurant afterward if that's where you all end up! Argh!

Come! Restaurant didn't accept reservation until 5:30. It will (probably) be one of the picnic-y looking tables, and we'll have a discreet ;-) "MeFi" place card out.

So sorry to miss it! Got up at 5:30 am to take a friend to the airport and slept badly last night so I am in the East Bay cocooning. Am thinking fondly of y'all and hope to meet up another time. Have fun!

Thanks to captive predator (meow!) for organizing this! It was great to see Pronoiac again, and that sorbet, books for weapons! I need the recipe!
And I want to see that crazy 3d art installation thing again!

books for weapons, that sorbet was the human equivalent of fresh green tripe, and the food equivalent of psmho's talent demonstration!

Thanks for the high praise! Here's my recipe for—
Strawberry Basil Sorbet
posted by books for weapons at 6:54 PM on May 19, 2015 [2 favorites]
Strawberry Basil Sorbet
Prep: 15 minutesEnjoy!
Total: 2 hoursFresh ingredients make a big difference to the final flavor! If you have a refractometer you can follow the
- 1 lb. strawberries
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup basil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Advancedsteps in (2) and (5) to match me in obsessive micromanagement, but your sorbet will be smooth, refreshing and delicious regardless!
- Rinse, hull, and slice the strawberries.
- Toss strawberries in a bowl with granulated sugar, making sure cut sides are well coated. (Advanced: Retain approx. ¼ cup sugar to be added to puree in step 5.)
- Cover strawberries and let stand for 1 hour.
- Puree strawberries, basil and lemon juice in a blender until completely smooth. (You may want to chop the basil beforehand depending on the action of your blender.)
- (Advanced) Measure the sugar content of the puree with a refractometer and—if necessary—add retained sugar as required to reach a 25% concentration.
- Chill puree.
- Churn puree in your ice cream maker per manufacturer's instructions (in mine this takes approx. 25 minutes).
