BINGBINGBING!

This is one of the saving graces of feasting, I think. If I make a meal
here at home and the meat dish does not turn out, everyone knows it! But
in the feast scenario, with all those dishes to shuffle around, you can
make up for the loss and no one but the kitchen crew knows that there
was supposed to be another dish... well, no one but the crew and the
raccoons on the back porch... ;-)
