[Sca-cooks] beast feasts

[Generys ferch Ednuyed]

What I was actually thinking was more along the lines of getting a large,
oval, flat tray w/ about 2-3 inch sides, and mound up the snow in that - if
it comes out cool-whip style, then it'll hold enough of a shape to be a
simple mound.  And it would definitely be a do and send straight out kind of
thing.... But now i'm looking around for something else to do again, so...
(Thanks for the links Stefan!)
