Added spice and veggies

At 10 we dropped ice killed fire.
Now debating corn drop.
15 min.
Corn was frozen. But who cares!
Then did a third. Kept adding spice.
Ice was key because it has more volume and retains the heat. So we were worried about overcooking vs. spice. But all three batches tasted great - except the corn - Brent!!!!

Use Bryan's bigger pot but keep the original recipe. Gave us room to work.
Let's just get the artichoke situation out of the way: John has been finding rocks and cheesecloth and trying to sink them but they need to be cooked longer 45minutes min. So, preboil? Microwave? Do we care? Also, hop sack would work great here.
Bread - have BT in charge of it.
We did two sacks from Quality. Sat morning pickup. Good quality all around. $3.75lb
Batch 1:
2:20pm water, poisons veggies.
30minutes later at boil. Dropped 2/3 sack of crawfish.
8 minutes later dropped shrimp and mushrooms

Dropped veggies.
17 minutes later boiled. Dropped bugs.
7minutes later dropped shrimp and mushrooms.
3minutes killed heat. Dropped ice and corn.
30minutes served. We might have been too precise with everything. Veggies needed a bit more cooking (potatoes and garlic) And some felt not as spicy. Core team thought it was great though. Bunch of complainers. We certainly adjusted on last round.
