[Sca-cooks] Feast Procedural Question

[LIADAN at sbcglobal.net]

I'd tell them to find someone else to bid. You'd
prefer to know what the budget is for how many and go
from there.

Also, the Brass-hat should butt out! Unless of course
HE plans to do the cooking...then you don't have to
worry, except about a bad feast!
