His Redoubtable Grace Cariadoc chastized me thusly:
>Alys Katherine, of all people, asks:
>>Why not make the appropriate heraldic devices out of chocolate?
>The obvious response is "why not make them out of something used for
>such purposes in period?"
My reason for suggesting chocolate was because the Royalty (misguided though they
may be) had tried to declare chocolate "period". I would agree that doing something
more accurate, such as sugar plate/paste, would be nice. And folk did heraldic devices
from marzipan in Tudor/Elizabethan times. Sometimes one just bows to what Royalty want.
(Okay, okay, David... I can hear you in my head and I should probably hope that we can
educate all the folk into wanting marzipan or sugar paste. But... Sometimes my tummy
just wants coffee... Okay, David. I hear you. Not at an event; or, not in public.
Sigh-h-h. I just hate it when he's right!)
I use Netcom and a brand-new computer. Netcom doesn't seem to like sending things on, now,
since it addresses stuff to "owner-sca-cooks", or sends things back to the originator, not
the list it came from. I'm too computer-illiterate to know how to fix anything. I am
hopeful that my son can help me when he comes home for Thanksgiving.
Alys Katha...I'm disappeari...
