Thanks for the insight.  Too bad we have to submit a menu "for approval" prior 
to the event.  Takes some of the decisions out of the cooks' hands and places it 
somewhere else.  I'm hoping the autos and senechals I work with will trust me 
enough to leave my menus alone.  We'll see. I know you can't please all of the 
feasters all of the time, but I'd like to be able to please the majority. 

On a side note: a group of us are going to a concert of period music played on 
period instruments.  Several are gathering for a potluck prior to the trip.  I'm 
making Ruzzige Cakes to take as my dish.  A great way to try out new recipes 
without having to pay the guinea.., uuh, tasters.
