Hey guys, just wondering, what kinda holidays you got back home for this time of year? By my calculations it's *roughly* this world's equivalent of Fellnight, which means it's Misrule season, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who knows what that is.

So, for the uninitiated: Misrule is a three-day holiday a little bit after the winter solstice where you eat delicious food and put up a bunch of decorations made of evergreens and shit...

...and then you get blackout drunk, gamble all your savings, roll around naked in the snow maybe, and start fighting people in the streets. And also bang on people's doors demanding pudding. And most importantly you set a giant dude on fire. Or sometimes it's a giant horse. And a whole bunch of other stuff.

Really, anything goes.

Not that I have to worry about this while I'm at the hot springs, but I do have a question.

Does anyone have recipes for foods that are quick and forgiving for someone who can't cook terribly well, and scales up well to feed several people?

[ Normally, him and his wife had someone else handle that since he married into a bit of money, but that's not an option now. ]

Asking because I've got five small children with truly monstrous appetites, and eggs over rice and takeout isn't going to cut it forever.
