SC - period food colorings

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings,

I'm just back from my holiday vacation up in the New Jersey/Pennsylvania/NYC
area. Thank you everyone who sent me the wonderful ideas and suggestions
for the area.

I am starting to read digests again with digest #1146, Dec. 26, so please forgive
me if I am bringing up something already discussed earlier. I will be getting back
to the digests I've skipped in time.

If you were looking for info on period food coloring in the Florilegium,
what I had was mostly in the sotelities-msg file. To make this easier to
find, I recently took this info along with a bunch of stuff I had been
saving and put it into this new file in the FOOD section:

p-fd-coloring-msg (14K) 11/30/98    Period food colorings.

As this file doesn't seem to on the website yet, if anyone wants it, I
can send it to you by email.
