SC - Running an Inn???

[Decker, Margaret]

Bear helped me put this menu together for the German feast in September.  Some 
recipes are already redacted and I'm going to try them in my kitchen, beginning 
this weekend. Let me know what you think, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions.

I sent the message first to the cooks guild.
