NK - ?feast steward?

[Rebecca M. Heydon]

See, you have nothing to worry about as you've done the
feeding-of-the-hoards before. :-)

No need to stock your pantry unless you want to donate a feast.  The Barony
pays for up to $500 to cover the food and supply costs.  Most feasts run
under budget so that amount is usually enough.

And yes, you have the personas basically correct.  I, myself, like period
feasts though I know there are those out there who don't.  To me, it makes
sense to keep the foods within the 600-1600 timeframe since everything else
is more or less supposed to be.  

(Quite frankly, period or not, porridge is vile stuff....)
