SC - Grande Feast

[Michael F. Gunter]

>Ummmm..... if you remember the last time you were over for Festival, then I'd be the >Camp cook that feed you for the four days you were there....
<blush> Ah, so, you _are_ from St. Flo's, then.
(If anyone has a cure for a bad memory, I'd be much appreciative. I inherited my
mother's ability to remember faces for years, but lose the name five seconds
after hearing it. Took her a year and a half to remember my college roommate's
name. And may I also commend Mari's cooking. I didn't go hungry once, not once,
despite walking alllll over the place, and the entire 4-day weekend being full of
dismal and dank and rainy and wet weather which did not lead itself to good eating
or cooking conditions. Can you say, damp wood?)

Good event, the Rowany Festival. 900 people, roughly, a camping event over
a loong weekend, and nearly all the cooking is done in camp; there was a bakery
(may I recommend the Baroness' Buns?), and one place that served stuff-on-pasta,
if I recall - but it was basically a cook-eveything-in-camp event, which is something
I don't see all that often here in the US. Pennsic has restaurant row, and Estrella had
something similar when I went 4 or 5 years ago. I wonder: how many of our really
big events (Gulf Wars, say, or the Caid-West war) that last for longer than a Saturday-
and-Sunday-morning do _not_ have food put on, some time at least, by the autocrats?
