Used to that 'Mistress' part yet, Selene? I imagine it is kind of like
getting used to answering to Mrs. <whatever> right after you get
married. :-)

Anyway, Congratulations!

I encourage you to go ahead with your fish or seafood feast. I've had
very little of either at SCA feasts. I think the last was a shrimp and
rice dish (I remember mixing it up in an ice chest, over ten years ago).
In those days, we farmed out various dishes to various folks to cook the
day/night before the feast. And the ice chest was the only thing we had
available that was large enough.  We didn't cook it there. We just mixed
it there. Probably wouldn't do it that way now, though...
