You're welcome.  I am very grateful to those who share their extensive 
knowledge of culinary history and techniques, and those who inspire me 
to strive for greater authenticity in my cooking.... and those who gather 
together valuable information in books and on websites...  and those 
who share delicious recipes... and those who make me laugh out loud 
over my morning oatmeal.

I have not felt that anyone on this list was ever impatient with me.  I just 
wanted people to realize that when I say, "I have a late-period Spanish 
recipe for..." what I usually mean is that I'm staring at a photocopied 
page in 16th century Spanish.

On the bright side, my culinary vocabulary is really growing.  My lord 
husband and I went to a Spanish restaurant for our anniversary last 
week, and I was very pleased at how much of the menu I could read.  
You know, I could be a lot more helpful to the Spanish-speaking patrons 
at my library if they wanted lentil soup or shrimp in garlic sauce instead 
of magazines and car repair manuals.
