I knew I would leave something out. I've been trying more for 'finger foods'
for this meal. I don't know what the Royalty and staff will be doing during
lunch but they might be working on paper work or scrolls. I thought a soup
or pottage might be a bit too messy. But I could fix one and then let them
decide whether to eat it.

Winter? What's that? It was a record 86 degrees today. But there have
been Candlemases that started out as t-shirt weather but we left with a
substantial layer of sleet and ice on the ground and roads.

Another point is that I will probably try to serve the populace whatever
is left over from the luncheon. But since the cost for the food is
coming out 
of my pocket I don't want to be too extravegant in quantity.

Thanks for the suggestion.
