 your discription of your kitchen crew & the workings of your kitchen, makes

Thank-you. I would like to share another couple of special moments for me.

One was when I had snuck back to the kitchen to pick up my spices , knives, 
and other odds and ends. As I was walking about the emptied kitchen,  A 
couple of the guys came back and ordered me out of the kitchen. I protested . 
They insisted. A few minutes later I snuck back in and wasn't able to pick up 
a dish before a whole group of big fighter types rushed in and removed me 
again. I was not allowed back in. I was told by another person that they had 
so many helpers for clean-up that there was actually a waiting line to help. 
Clean up took about half an hour or so i was told. 

Puck insisted that I sit down and taste my feast so I unwillingly went out 
and took a small spoonful of each thing and put it into my bowl. After the 
first few bites I was not very hungry but as I looked around at the happy 
faces, I was able to experience the Dream for a few moments. Along with that 
fleeting experience , the awe of eating  food from recipes that had not been 
served in 773 yrs. was mind blowing. You see, as usual I had not previously 
tested any of the recipes so I , along with the folks eating, was tasting the 
finished recipes for the first time. :-) The amazing thing was that after 15 
yrs. this was the first time I had ever eaten my own feast. Several people 
commented on it.

That's all for now. Maybe I can post about the pitfalls, snafus and other 
bugaboos in a couple of days. ;-)
