[Sca-cooks] My first Feast!

[Elaine Koogler]

And I'm here to tell you that this was a very impressive first effort.  Everyone was completely awed by the quality and quantity of the food...it was all so very, very good that, by the third course, I was so stuffed I could hardly eat any more...I had to bring the desserts home to try!

My only regret is that only 60 or so very lucky souls were able to eat this feast...we really didn't have great attendance at the event, which was too bad!  However, Laird Muirghen should be very proud of his effort!

The process taught me a great deal especially about support and help.  After three pre-cooks, the event went of exactly on time with the first course served just when it was supposed to be, thanks to a really outstanding help from a number of people.  For those interested, the menu was:
