My Lord,

As the mom of two, I have been enjoying this thread immensely. may I make
two suggestions. (I'll assume you are working with the second edition of
Pleyn Delit, published in 1997. I also have the version published in 1979,
if that is what you have)

1 Hedgehogs! #138 Yummy meatballs w/ almond quills. Use currents for the
eyes and nose and life don't get much better than this.


2 Chicken Pasties Lombard! #107 Chicken breasts, dipped in eggs and wrapped
in bacon, then encased in pastry dough. Very Yummy, and its an introduction
to the wonderful world of pastry. (you can cheat and use premade pie
creast, if thats a little TOO much adventure)


Hope this helps
