HERB - Middle Kingdom Coronation Feast recipes online

[Gaylin Walli]

Hi folks,

It just occurred to me that I've been chatting with
people on the herb list for some time about feast
stuff for the Middle Kingdom Coronation and some
of you who aren't on the MK Cook's list or on the
SCA Cook's list might not know that everything
went well. Some of you had expressed a private
interest in seeing the recipes, especially from the
point of view of an herbalist in the kitchen. So...
here's a portion of the message I sent earlier to
the Cook's lists...

... I have placed a PDF file of the feast recipes and
notes booklet on the Middle Kingdom Cook's Collegium
website. You can access the file at this location:

     http://mkcooks.homestead.com/files/MKCrntnFstS2k.pdf

I am trying to get a copy together that is HTML (it's a matter
of messing with the conversions in my software program
really) for the Cook's site too. If I can manage something
non-ugly, I also plan to get a text copy to Stefan for
the flori-thingy.

Barring that, if there is anyone who would like a copy who
cannot access the web to get it, please let me know. I will
be happy to send you a paper copy or a disk copy (Mac or
PC format) if you send me a private request (so as not to
clutter the list). A buck or two to cover the postage and
copying would be welcome, but not required.

For those of you who may have missed the menu I posted
a while back, here it is, in case it helps you decide if you
want to go download the 84 pages worth of my notes *grin*:
