Heh.  I remember a Caid Twelfth Night like that.  Huette was running the
evening banquet, I was running a "breakfast" operation in a tiny kitchenette
and a good-sized sitting-room in the same church grounds.  The weather that
day was soggy wet so nobody wanted to drive offsite for food.  The breakfast
bar became a lunch bar, we had to invent lunch-like goodies out of the
ingredients at hand [I had packed a rosette iron so breakfast eggs and milk
and flour became cookies, etc.]  We managed not to pester Huette too much
about it.  I never got to the banquet, nor saw my husband's subtletie except
in photos afterwards.  But the populace was well served, so I'm content.
