SC - I need some advice and dessert recipes

[Micaylah]

Greetings all,

Caldrithig is hosting the Baronial (Skraeling Althing) 12th Night Pot Luck
this year and since I am head kitchen organizer (so what else is new?) I
thought we would do things a little different this year. (Claricia please
keep this under your apron...kay?) We have decided that we are going to set
up a menu and let the populace decide what it is they wish to bring given
the list of menu items. I have kept it really really simple as the level of
cooking in our fair Baronry is somewhat limited.

Going on the premise of 100 people to feed, I have worked out how many of
each dish we need. Couples will be required to bring two dishes, triples
(this is Skrael after all) three and so on. 

I have kept the difficulty degree to SIMPLE but a couple are of the
intermediate level. At the next general meeting I will include sign up
sheets, recipes and ingredient (shopping) lists and will be available for
people to contact me if they run into problems.

I also figure that if we keep the meats to a simple roast and have plenty
of vegetables and legumes etc, the vegans among us will be happy as well.
(did "I" say that?) Well, it is a Baronial event and these people ARE my
extended family. 

I have also kept in mind price, so people that are truly cooking challenged
and have chosen bread, will also be required to bring cheese and/or butter
as well.

Has anyone tried this type of Pot Luck before? If so, what are the pot
holes I may fall into and how did you solve them? Any advice and guidance
would be appreciated as I have never organized this sort of thing before
and given that I can organize and cook, perhaps I can't see the hazards of
this type of feast that may befall us.

Another thing that I am having a problem with is the dessert/sweets area. I
am having a problem finding really yummy period or per-iod like recipes. If
some of you could post your favorite transportable SIMPLE sweet recipes I
would be grateful.

Thanks guys

Micyalah
