Good gentles,

With all the brilliant minds with whom I communicate on this list, I find that I 
must watch my words and phrasing very carefully.  What I intended to say was 
that I would not like to put black pepper in my skim milk which I like to drink 
when I eat my cookies.  Putting pepper into a COMBINATION of ingredients that 
include milk or milk products is a fine idea and I do it often.  I had origionally 
toyed with the idea of saying "I tell my kids that I don't put ketchup on my peas 
like they do because I know what it would taste like and, personnally, wouldn't 
care for it."  However, I knew that this would leave me open for just the sort of 
discussion I received about the pepper/milk comment so I thought I found a 
safer route.  Silly me.

I am still a firm believer that, with experience and study, a person could create 
a dish "in the Medieval style" and that it would be all right to serve this dish at a 
feast.  I am not saying that I have that experience and ability, but there are 
many out there who may.

I do want to cook, serve and eat redacted dishes at a feast.  I will never forget 
once being served lasagna, though I know that the kitchen staff was busy with 
other things that day.  

Carefully yours,
Linneah
