	Gomen nasai, my apologies. If this is what you understood my post to
mean, then I was unclear. Surely you can afford /some/ food. Why not use
those ingredients to put together authentic dishes?

	Water? Horrendous?

	Perhaps we're discussing two different issues. Are we speaking of
cooking for a feast (in which case, your personal finances aren't really
an issue), or providing private refreshments? If the latter, what /can/
you afford? What can you make within your budget?
