Hmmm.  Very odd.  I actually found this to be quite a warm group of 
cooks!  I joined about a week ago and in that week's time we have 
discussed many interesting things.  Some silly, yes; but if you have 
ever been in a kitchen you would realize that silliness happens with 
cooks.  When you've had your head stuck in a pot all day and chopped 
more veggies than you care to count you tend to get a little silly.  
I've actually enjoyed the silliness.  

Did I receive a "grand welcoming" from everyone on the list?  No.  
Neither did I expect one.  I did recieve a sweeping virtual hug from 
my children's godmother, but then of course she's family.  I would 
expect that.  Besides, I have my eye on her son for one of my 
daughters.  Ooops, I'm being silly.  

As far as learning from this list.  What do you want to learn?  We've 
discussed substitutiary cooking, food fights and whether they were 
period or accepted, turnips and carrots, and sources for recipes and 
pictures of feasts and cooking.  I've filed away quite a few recipes 
and added several new bookmarks to my browser.  

I'm sorry you don't appreciate this list as much as I do.  But I 
stepped into the kitchen and found soul-mates, people who enjoy 
cooking, redacting recipes, grinding their own spices, seeking better 
ways to serve a period meal, both for feasting and in their own 
encampments.
