[Ansteorra] Feasts and Special Diets (was History/Enculturation/Cliquishness....)

[Delphina Champeaux]

Thanks... here's another question then...  How often
do you get to site and change what you used in a dish?
 You know like add a little oil to this or butter to
that.  Again, I'm a NON Cook and can't even begin to
think about having food from my own hand that didn't
pass though the microwave first. Smile.
