I'm a Pelican cook with a Grant-level arts award for cookery, so I'm split
too.
I'm also a big "Period Food Is Yummy" evangelist and won't cook something for
a large group that I =know= they won't eat, just because it is "period."  My
ideal feast is high-end scholarship in mass quantities.  Why couldn't I have
it all?  Oh yeah, I have, and will again.  ;-)
