Anne-Marie,
	Bravo to your experiment of cooking entirely over an open fire
(and now I know why Luisa was always messing with the firebox!). I think
it is a good thing to see period _method_ as well as ingredients and
technique being actively researched and put to use. I'd just like to add
one tiny caveat- which is the primary reason why I use one of those damned
C****** stoves- because of my athsma, I dare not be near a wood fire for
any length of time (I also eschew bardic fires for the same reason). I've
concluded that if I'd been born in the proper century (14th) I'd have been
long dead, so if you see a ghost setting a pot on a gas stove, it's me.
('Sides that- I can think of no reason why I, an heiress and poet and
companion of Christine de Pisan, would even be near the kitchens, so I'm
breaking form anyway.)
	BTW, do you have problems with the smells of the fire getting into
your clothes? How do you get them out?

it's winter again (koff koff) and I'm anxious for the violets to return,
'Lainie
