The Carnitas Gathering Ledger

*Donde la cuenta se vuelve carne y la carne se vuelve familia.*

I. The Pleasonton Table (2026)

Saturday morning. Soccer field grass still wet with dew. The air thick with cumin and slow-roasted pork. Here, the spreadsheet ends and the feast begins.

Protein Allocation

140kg per gathering. Zero waste. Every gram accounted for in the belly of the child who will launch the next rocket.

*La carne que alimenta al astronauta.*
Ancient spice jar glowing in darkness

Cumin Reserve

Three generations of ground seed locked in ceramic. The volatility index of flavor that turns ration bars into reunion.

*El comino que niega el olvido.*
Hands passing bread across void

Bread Covenant

Not a crust left unbroken. Every loaf split along the fault line of hunger and hope.

*El pan que cierra el círculo.*

II. The Mars Hearth (2048)

When the dome seals shut behind us, this ledger becomes the only recipe that matters. Not survival rations — carnitas.

"We did not bring the spreadsheet to count the cost.
We brought it to prove the feast could happen."
