My job keeps me from being very active any more, I work Saturdays and 
on the night of the weekly meetings.  For years I was told the people 
doing feast had a team and didn't need help.  For the last three 
years, I washed dishes, just to be in the kitchen and to be seen as 
dependable.  I'm trying to earn that reputation as "known to be a 
decent cook" when they don't seem to want to let the girl in the 
wheelchair hold a knife.

And as for the level of detail, I already HAD the menu and 
spreadsheet, that I did a couple of years ago. I just updated the 
menu and checked out prices and brought them up to date.

I updated the menu, redid the spreadsheet to reflect the new menu, 
and wrote up the other information.

At work, I have training M-F for the next three weeks, which means 
weekends off for a change, and I get to go to the event next weekend.

I'm planning to bring the Hungarian torte, which seems more like 
strudel dough or homemade phyllo than puff pastry.
