[Sca-cooks] MidWinter Feast

[Jim and Andi Houston]

I would *love* to see a Silk Road-themed dayboard done right, as Bear so
eloquently detailed. I would absolutely be willing to help with China and
Persia, and I bet others here would, too.

India is not really on the silk route, though it *is* on the Spice route
(and the cotton route, the pearl route, you get the idea). If there are
people who really want to do China, North Africa, and India... could you
just change the theme to "Spices along the Spice Route" to make it more
accurate?

I will say that I find Soup for the Qan extremely approachable and
cook-able.

Usually around 100 - 125 we'll have less in the first few hours and last few
and more during the "busy" time.

have a co-autocrat who is encouraging people to "do what they want".  She is
partial to going from Italy to China along a more southern, water, route.  I
would have preferred a land route - we'll see what we can do to bring things
to a more common route and a fixed time period.  One of our new cooks has
taken some research material from North Africa and India.

Are you going to allow duplication of places because some areas offer more

I don't want to.  There is so much out there I'm hoping we can move from
place to place without returning.
