This is Jean. She cooks all the food at the City of David, or most of it. This means pushing beans and peanut butter and seeds and other stuff through an enormous extruder to make hocks of mock meat. I have the colony's 1930 cookbook if you want to make some City of David food with me.

This photograph is not beautiful but it is very true. Jean is having a very hard time with Carl's departure from the colony. He was, in many ways, her prodigal son, though not by blood. She did not attend the ceremony but came to the reception.
