SC - Lamb's Quarters

[LrdRas]

I cooked my first feast this past weekend, and I really loved doing 
it.  I had lots of help, but I also learned a lot of things which I 
will definitely remember for the next event I cook, when I can 
write down all the things I may some day post them to the list.  I 
think for the next event I want to do a lot more research.  For this 
event I wanted to do something that was close to being period, but 
would also be familiar to cook.  I was delighted that many people 
were very full when they left.  I guess for now though whatI learned 
most about this is I have to estimate quantities better, we also had 
about 12 reservations that didn't show up.  Still I think we had 82 
people on board, and one off board.  We had quite a bit of left over 
food, but that was good because we had it at clean up the next day.

For the menu I primarily used Pleyn Delit, except for the mushroom 
pies(Caridoc's), Peas and Onions(I cheated and used frozen ones), and 
the Barley and chick peas which I made up without researching. I put 
the noodles in the soup too.  Everything except the meats the mushroom 
pies and the boiled eggs, had absolutely no meat or dairy products in 
them.  I didn't want anyone including vegetarians and vegans to go 
away hungry.

Thanks to everyone on the list for all the advice I got when I asked 
questions!
