OTOH, I do all of my feast cooking and preparation on site. Mostly to 
maintain some semblence of a 'medieval' kitchen. It is usual for me to be on 
site  early Friday evening. Cooking unitl 3 or 4  am Sat. morning. Rest for a 
couple of hours and begin anew at 8 am through until the feast has been 
served (often around 9 or 10 pm when the last course goes out at which time I 
am more often times than not very pale, weak and trembly. 

Absolutely not your cheery, bubbly, confusing courtesy with a smiley face 
type of  person. Unfortunately there are those who often confuse a lack of  
physical stamina and emotional burn-out with the outward appearance of 
discourtesy. Of course, by that time of the evening, not having been able to 
even eat my own feast, and then hearing I had to pay for it all on top of 
everything, I think that I would rather courteously tell them to ' bite my 
b**t' or have them go do physically impossible things rather than deal with 
with the obviously lack of sensitivy and  lack of empathy on the part of the 
other person.
