SC - 12th Night feast me

Thanks, it's only what I've learned from you guys.

That is an interesting statement. I guess you can say I'm goal-oriented in 
the fact that one of the things I like most about doing feasts is the 
planning and designing of the menu. I am also process-oriented in the fact that
part of the dishes I use can be made ahead, or won't take up too much cooking
space or whatever perameters are appropriate. I'm also not usually so caught
up in the documentation but I want this feast to be special.

Steppes 12th Night is one of the major winter events in Ansteorra and on top
of that it is also where Ansteorra is holding the A&S competition to determine
what entries will represent the kingdom at Gulf Wars. Although I'm not entering
the A&S I would like to maintain the theme of the event with almost an A&S entry
feast.

Ansteorra has very few truly period feasts and I'm hoping the Ansteorran members
of this list are going to start changing the ideas of the general population. I
do wish I'd attended last year's Candlemas feast...

If I can pull off a High Feast with documented dishes maybe the winds will start
changing and people's eyes will be opened as mine have been. 

Besides, I'm having a great time doing this!

Forgive me, Master, but I must say. "Huh?"
In reality, this feast isn't much more ambitious than most of the others that I
have done and the dishes have been picked because they are relatively simple, can
freeze well and will suit the appetites of most of the diners. This is the same
criteria I've always used.

I'll forgive you.

Yers,
