I don't feel that way, I'm afraid.  I enjoy cooking more as an A&S
activity than as a service activity, if you know what I mean.  And if I
do a feast, I want it to be in keeping with my own "artistic" goals.
And for me, that means small but elaborate feasts with lots of
atmosphere.  If they ask me to do a $10 feast for 150 people in a
big nasty flurescently-lit gymnasium, I will decline.  I have no
interest in it.  And I would much rather put my efforts towards a
spectacular food-focussed event every year or two than spread my
energy thin by doing mass catering for the unwashed horde who attend
more general events.

So, I guess I'm a snob :)

Yours,

Katherine
