<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I promised last year, I have offered to cook for
the troops going down from Elfsea (and any interested friends and
neighbors). This is my last year to cook, as I plan on being in armor next
year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to have help from at least two people:
one to help in the kitchen and one to play list field hostess.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The menu is similar to last year's, except dinner
will be more southwestern in flavor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to get some rough idea of how many are
interested in going this year, so that we can start preparations early. As
in the past, there is also alot of tent sharing and car pooling. Since gas is
at a premium, it would be good to get an idea of who is going so that
people can start negotiating for space and rides. If there is sufficient
interest, we may ask for some baronial equipment. We definitely need to
have a covered area for eating and some tables. Remember feast gear (bring
a big soup bowl or be prepared to get seconds and thirds) and candles and
lanterns.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dinner</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make your own giant bowl of tortilla soup:
tortilla strips, shredded chicken, chicken broth, (let me know if you need
vegetable broth) cheese, sauteed onions, peppers, squash, corn, radishes (yes,
they are traditional), tomatoes, sour cream - you fill your bowl with what you
want, then ladle really hot broth on top of it all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chips, salsa (guac if it is cheap)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>rice</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>beans (as in the smashed up kind)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>more tortillas (corn of course - what else do you
scoop up your rice and beans with?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>quesadillas</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>whatever else looks good in the store</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>some sort of dessert</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Breakfast Sunday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>take it with you breakfast tacos (yep, you guessed
it, more tortillas)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The cost will be about the same as last year -
about 10 to 12 dollars depending on how much I find on sale. Money will be
collected one week prior to the event. Your last time to pay will be at
fighter practice after Three Kings. Refunds after that will depend on if
we can "sell" you spot on site to someone and will happen after the
event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please let me know off list if you are interested
off list. I will post this again as time draws closer.</FONT></DIV>
