Elizabethan banquet was SC - Kitchen steward.

[Balldrich BallBarian BoulderBain]

	Greetings all!
	I stand abashed and must ask: what is a yeast coffin used for.  It
wouldn't hold up for any of the folks I've buried lately. . .so is this a
bread soup bowl?  
	Standing confused while world goes by. .  . Where in Stefan's collection
should I look?
	Balldrich
