SC - Re: accommodating at feasts

[Paul Shore]

A few tips I can offer:

Make your first course, or even first two, foods that are served cold or can 
be kept warm with little effort.  This makes it much easier if court runs 
late or there is a major crisis because you have one less course to worry 
about.

Always bring extra paper towels, dish detergent, trash bags, oven mitts, hot 
pads, dishcloths and dish towels.  There never seem to be enough of these 
when you need them.

Try to keep a it of money on hand to run out to the store if you find you've 
forgotten something.  Also have a volunteer to do these sort of errands for 
you so you don't leave the kitchen.

If possible pack all of the pots, pans, mixing bowls, spoons, extra clean up 
items etc the  night before so you don't have to worry about them the day of 
the feast.

Check around to find out if there is a place that sells bulk herbs and 
spices.  This can save you money and they are usually willing to order 
anything you may need.
