[Sca-cooks] Feast Procedural Question

[Nancy Cox]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Does your local tend to have lots of people jumping at the bit to be cooks?
How nice for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what-if I prepare a feast bid..I decide what I'm cooking and how much it
will cost-knowing about what the barony prefers and taking that into
consideration, of course! I don't HAVE to cook the feasts......It's my kitchen
or it isn't..it's that easy!   Enough said.
