[Sca-cooks]Feasts Per Year

[Micheal]

 I will move over and give you bench room in the van to the hospital for 
volunteers who don`t know how to say no.
At one time during my foolish younger days, I was similar. But I stood back 
and realized I am seeing nothing else of the society. My first 2 Pennsics 
were spent in a kitchen in camp or at Rockies buying grub.  As I started as 
a warrior in the society, this sucked.
  Then I started noticing people at home stopped asking others  to cook at 
all. So I am officially unofficially retired from active cooking. Which 
means I am only doing three feast this year. Mostly for the fun of 
recreating an actual menu or something I wish to explore nothing else.
