[Sca-cooks] Sieggy's feast

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    I sent another post that kind of addresses this, but we're trying to
break new ground, here. The problem has been that L O N G feasts have been
long by accident or mismanagement. I'm figuring that lot's o' little dishes
combined with entertainment that engages the mind will dispell the 'oh, god,
when are they bringing out the potatoes' syndrome.
    No, people aren't used to feasts this long, but if they're told ahead of
time (and warned NOT to pig out on the table goodies), I think we can get
by.
