SC - my opinion of clean up

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

Please allow me to add my comments here.
	I have been observing this discussion for some days now.  I feel very 
strongly that to ask the person who, plans, organizes, prepares for and cooks 
the feast ( in the hot kitchen, on their feet all day)  to ALSO clean up, 
really is too much!!
	Very few of us have unlimited energy.  By the time clean up comes 
around, I for one would be exhausted.  Help would be GREATLY appreciated.  
	In fact, I DO have clean up help at home. My husband and son are well 
aware of the work that goes into makeing a nice meal and they never allow me 
to clean up at home.  (Well, I often help, but that is my choice)  It would 
be too bad if people had to miss out on my  rather nice meals (if I do say so 
myself) just because I don't also have the stamina to do the major clean up 
afterwards.

<< I fully expect, and the other cooks in our barony that I've encountered 
also 
 have this expectation, to clean up after the feast. That's part and parcel 
of 
 doing a feast. One does all the prep work ahead of time, does the cooking 
the 
 day of, and does the cleaning up after. If one doesn't want to do the work 
of 
 cleaning up, one shouldn't do the feast, IMNSHO. >>
