9.What are your greatest challenges in this project?
Unpredictable numbers - although it's not a big problem.
Small space - nicer to be in my apartment, but it takes effort to get ready for guests, especially if there's more than just a couple.

10.Cool facts, bragging rights, interesting activities!
I'm actually not a vegan - but I call myself a part-time vegan or vegan ally i.e. I like to support my vegan friends by promoting how good vegan food is - and making them welcome at food sharing events.
