[Nordskogen] 12th Night Feast: Donations

[Peregrine]

I've been asked about/offered donations for the feast buffet. I've posted 
a little more about this on the feast blog: http://feastblog.blogspot.com. 

Answer to what to donate and how much: 

Baked goods or nibbles are what I'd really prefer to get.

** Period cookies, sweetbreads, regular breads, tarts, etc. will all be 
put to good use.

** Nibbles such as nuts, candied fruits, marchpane, or other period 
confections, etc. will also be put to good use.

** Fresh, unpeeled fruits would also be welcome.

How much: My generic rule for donated items is: "Feed 48." It's about the 
size of one large or two regular batches of cookies. Loaves will be cut 
into sixths, pies/round cakes into eighths. You are certainly welcome to 
bring more if you would like to. If you can't do 48 portions, but are 
gung-ho to donate something, the kitchen help can always use treats. 
Especially treats we haven't spent all day staring at, making, and 
serving. I'm just sayin'..

Please do not bring:

** Any product that contains meat

** Anything that requires extensive cooling/refrigeration.

** Any home-canned items.

** Any liquid, drinkable alcohol. We cannot legally serve it so it cannot 
be part of the buffet.

If you could provide me with an ingredient list on an index card with the 
item, that would be much appreciated. 

One area I could really use help with - period-style decorations for the 
buffet table. I'm at a loss for anything other than fir boughs.  

Thank you to the people who've offered donations or help.
