"Prepare for cans of disappointment," Kathy warned, leading him into the small kitchen. "I'll have to go tomorrow and explain that I suddenly have five new housemates, but we should be okay for tonight."
Food in the Mount, she explained, was doled out on a weekly basis depending on how many people were in a household and adjusted for things like allergies, dietary restrictions, and even caloric intake. Households with children, with teenagers, with farmers and blue-collar workers got more. Same with superballs.
"I've mostly got eggs for protein," she said, opening her fridge and showing him a carton of eggs, in a variety of chicken, duck, and quail. "Meat's sparse, which doesn't bother me any, but we have a lot of mushrooms and a decent selection of vegetables, by which I mean, all the squash and zucchini you can shake a stick at."
There was also some kale and a few prized avocados that Kathy guarded jealously. She'd mostly lived on scrambled eggs and avocado toast these past weeks. "Uhh, we got bread, margarine, your basic staples like pasta and flour and beans...And since I need more calories, I was given a bunch of canned stuff." She opened the cupboard so Eliot could take stock of those, too. "I haven't messed with those much, since there's, like, hash and spam and Vienna sausage and stuff in there." It was a moddable mishmash, really.
"Oh! And a small jar of kimchi from Nick," she added. "He had some in his pantry and was willing to share."
