No idea, and no, I was not offended.  I could tell that you are new at this,
and learning.  I am perfectly happy to teach people about doing feasts, and
have taught a class (last at WinterKingdom in January) about how to plan a
feast, including costing.  We can work through it during a dull moment in
the kitchen.

(Yes, they occur, usually when chopping mass quantities or other tedious
chores.)

Sorry that I was not clear, I had read four Digests (#3035 through #3038)
before posting.  And I would guess that some of the comments were private.
But I wanted the list to see what *my* comments would be -- not just because
my bid had won, but to add to the discussion.

Quit grumping -- it was the postscript to my message, to which Liadan was
responding.  I figured that people would want to know what the menu is (it's
on the website anyway, or should be) and included it in my message.  You
just had to read aaaalllllllll the way to the bottom to see it.  <G>

I'm flattered!  But I've had more experience than you, is all.  We'll talk.
<s>    Really, I think it was the experience that did it, more than the
cost, given how little time there is before the event.
