Oh dear. I thought reading my email might provide a nice recovery from St
Mons 10th Anniversary
feast and I keep getting reminded of various dishes.
On the 3rd of May MinnaGantz asked for recipes documentation etc for feenel
as a vegie. I thought I might point out that in the feast report was a
recipe for broccoli and fennel.

I might also point out that i had only been in the SCA barely six months
when I decided to run this feast. I have now been in the SCA barely 14
months. We had 73 people turn up which was maximum number. Apart from the
problem of trying to garb a lot of newbies it went well. We have a couple
more new enthusiasts (spelling?).
