Oh.  I see.

This is as good a time as any to talk about my lord husband's role
in my feasts.  First of all, he is my chief guinea pig and taster.
He's also my numbers guy, who helps me figure out quantities and
prices and conversions.  On the day of the feast, he's the van
loader and unloader, and the gofer who makes emergency runs to
the store for forgotten items.  He told me the other day that he is
planning to take several days vacation before my upcoming feast,
since he figured that I could use the help.  This was totally
unsolicited.  I usually take some vacation time before a feast for
shopping and preparation, but never asked or expected that he
would do the same.
