didn't really get bent out of shape, I just left the kitchen and
enjoyed other activities. I mentioned it to my wife and to one other
member of our shire, but that's about as far as it will go, other than
this email thread, which I started to hear other people's thoughts on
this subject.
Tell us a story Auntie Aldyth. :-)) Being the seneschal of a small group
has its' challenges. Over the years our group has graduated a few competent
cooks and feast organizers. A young lady and her lord moved her and for the
most part the young lady was not appearing unless it was with him. When we
were planning our fall event last year I asked for volunteers for autocrat and
feastocrat. She volunteered to feastocrat. The autocrat was not sure of her
"prowess" so he asked that she share the duty with an established cook. She
exploded. How dare we expect that she had even helped in another kitchen, or
that we check her out of kingdom references. Perhaps the small shire you
were helping with has had similar challenges and just preferred to work with
known quantities, and no people skills. You are welcome in my kitchen. But
don't be surprised if somebody is watching. :-))

If it is not any fun, stop doing it. Find something that is fun, and start
doing it. Life is too short not to have fun.
