[Sca-cooks] Apple fritters (Was Menus, seat allocation)

[Daniel Myers]

For dishes that need to be fried, like these apple fritters, is it
possible to make them up (perhaps frying lightly), freeze them, and
then finish frying them during the feast?  Maybe with a setup like the
McDonalds fry-warmers to keep them hot until they're served?
