I have a recipe for Richmond Maids ofHonor someplace. I don't recall it
having curd cheese in it, but I haven't looked at it in a while and I
could be wrong. Or I could have a modern translation that's a little

I'll look it up, but no guarantees. Too many recipes and not enough
filing system, you know!
