Hello, everyone!
    This is Lady Genevieve del Gamba, and I am passing on the announcement
for the Alexandrian Symposium, which is this weekend.  The topic this
weekend is Food and Festival, and I highly recommend this lecture series for
anyone interested in the period uses and politics of food.  I will be giving
a class titled "The King's Deer:  The Use and Prevelance of Venison in
Period Recipes."   Lots of other great classes are offered.  I hope to see
some of our great cooks from Elfsea this weekend!  By the way....I'm
bringing samples....!  ;-)

In service,

Lady Genevieve del Gamba
Apprentice to Mistress Xene Theriane
