Countdown to a feast....

[angharad_gam]

Tomorrow I go to work. Thursday I go shopping. Friday I am cooking. And then it's feast day.

I have this weird feeling like it's all been too easy, but I think it's just paranoia. I've done this too many times before.
Not too many times for something to go hideously wrong of course, but often enough that the planning stages don't really cause me much stress anymore. Except for the never-ending nagging suspicion that there will not be enough food. Which given my tendency to massively overcater is complete bollocks.

I thought I might post the menu, anyway. Excuse random sixteenth century style spelling.

First Course
A Sallat
Tartes of Cheese
Pork Y-bake
Hedgehogges
Sodde Eggs
Mortis (a sort of chicken pate)
Applemoys

Second Course
Great Pyes
Rostid Turkey
Prune Sauce
A Boiled Sallet
Peascoddes
Fried Beanes
Baked Oranges

Third Course
Strawberry Gely
A White Leach (a jelly of milk and rosewater)
Fine Cakes
Trifle
Ypocras

The Ypocras is not by me, but Elena le Breustere. Also there will be butter formed into the shape of suns in splendour, and prince-bisket cookies on the Yule tree. And a lot of marzipan subtelties in the form of fruits and flowers and so on, made by Fionn the current Innilgard A&S Minister. And cordials (lemon, pomegranate and cinnamon) by the Baroness.

And there will be masses of turkey because we bought it a while ago when it was cheap and assuming we would get 150, and we only have 120.

Possibly I should post these menus _before_ bookings close.
