If you get them prepping your meals, next year they can plan them. Email and ask two people to submit ideas for each meal. I do think the tough part is the planning. I speak from experience with frequent dinners for 15 in the middle of three weeks of 3 house guests. Also years if cabin weeks for six. I save my menus and recycle some things.

Recently we had my husband's extended family gathering, an annual event, at our house. There were twenty to feed, for two meals, and the actual cooking was as nothing compared to thinking through the capacity of the fridge on a hot day. <br />I think I'd allow M&S Food to supply as many of the loaves and fishes as possible. shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-4448289468733211902014-07-21T15:32:16.867+01:002014-07-21T15:32:16.867+01:00Re: meals for the Games - surely you have provided...Re: meals for the Games - surely you have provided enough meals in the past that others can feed you now. Set up a rota for the younger people - Lizzie can do breakfast, Hellie & Matt can cover lunch, etc. With enough encouragement, they may become a little competitive and try to out-do each other. Even the little Boys can help as sous chefs. <br /><br />Rachael can coordinate, and you can watch benevolently as you knit.

The shawl is getting so close to being finished! I do find it a little funny that the current ball is still hanging on. I usually have the opposite problem. I think I have enough yarn left but then it gets eaten up more quickly than I expect. <br /><br />I am taking a page from your book. I am getting to my Rams and Yowes each day, but I am not abandoning other projects. I can only hope my two-handed stranded colourwork skills improve. My current knitting speed is Embarrassingly Slow. <br /><br />Best wishes for a good week. It's bound to zip by with all you've got planned. I don't envy the planning required to keep your crew fed during the games. Meal planning has to be one of the most difficult of domestic tasks.
