[Sca-cooks] Re: A Question of Serving

It's the senior or ranking peer around here, not the royalty, that makes 
the toasts.  The first toast is always *to* the Crown and Kingdom, 
anyway <g>.  And then there's one to any visiting royals, but that's 
about it.
It was....odd....when I realized that I'm pretty much the oldest 
(active) peer in my barony, if not the one of highest rank.  We have a 
local viscount who's pretty much a non-player, and a Count who plays but 
can rarely make feasts because of his work schedule.  I'm usually in the 
kitchen, though, so the toast thing is really not something I remember 
to do....
