Written Option 1

So, unfortunately, Celeste's family recipes are all kind of time intensive. Tourtiere takes hours, and the soups and stews aren't really any better. So the move is the quicker and easier option: a classic, simple, Maine supper. What is that, you ask? Well! The difficult part of that is getting their hands on the ingredients, but they usually travel prepared with their hometown staples when going between Lewiston and New York.
So they're doing this particular meal. It consists of baked beans (which, obviously homemade is preferred, but storebought and doctored is acceptable), red snapper hot dogs (a Maine specialty- these hot dogs have casings that are a bright, bright red), a simple coleslaw (mayo, vinegar, sugar, and seasonings), and brown bread (which you buy in a can, because making and preparing a homemade steamed brown bread loaf takes roughly 500 years). And, of course, the whole thing is paired with a nice cold can of Moxie, for a perfect and quintessentially Mainer meal.
Honestly, it's not likely to win this competition. Pretty much everything in this is a niche Maine thing, and Celeste knows that. They're really just happy to share this piece of their hometown with people they spend a lot of time in their life with.
