Chefs introducing themselves, suppliers, caterers, small produce markets, private cooks, etc. could use the pop up to their advantage. They could do a pop up for late night suppers at an existing restaurant, or set up a small kitchen to prepare meals under tent covers some summer evening.

What about Tiffin service in Sequim?

What would you include in the tiffin. At least three items that do not need to be refrigerated for this "thought experiment".

[Tiffin often consists of rice, dal, curry, vegetables, chapatis or "spicy meats".
In addition, the lunch boxes are themselves called tiffin carriers, tiffin-boxes or sometimes tiffins.]

Hummus, Arabian Style (w/ yogurt)

1 can chickpeas, drained
1 small plain yogurt
2-3 tablespoons of tahini (sesame seeds ground w/ olive oil)
1-3 cloves garlic
lemon juice to taste
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
Garnish:
olive oil, olives

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Stop blender and stir the batter well from time to time. Spread hummus on serving plate, garnish with olive oil, olives. Good on toast.

Roast Chicken; Plain

Dry the skin. Remove wishbone, as it is easier to carve later. Salt the cavity. Truss the birds legs close to breast. Fold wings under to prop up bird in pan, and/or use some rolled foil to prop it up...off bottom of pan.

Salt exterior of bird. Oven at 425 F. Put bird in pan, up and off pan's bottom. Put in oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until skin begins to turn color.

Drop heat to 375 and cook for another 35 minutes. Tip the chicken. Red juices will run out. Close oven and cook until less red juice runs out and juices will be darker. Do this again. When done, the juices will be dark, cooked red with some gray. Take out the chicken, let it rest, uncovered, then carve.

James Kent, sous-chef at EMP

He didn't stop at any point to evaluate what he did.  Each moment of this dish coming together was, instead, a continuum of reactions, a constant metamorphosis."
