Yes, Alys, I remember it well. Not only was it the first of its kind, but it
was my very first event, and I was so green that I didn't know (and no one
thought to tell me) that garb was required ;-) It was great- it was the
first clue I had as to the complexity of our cooking hobby- as you can see,
you scared me away ;-)

And, you were kind enough to send me the juniper berries I needed for my
venison -veal terrine, which was my very first attempt at perioid food-
perioid because I didn't know that there were actually REAL period cookbooks
out there, but I did know that A. They made terrines in period, and B. All
the ingredients were period.

Yeah, let's have another cooking Collegium. I'd dearly love for someone else
to be as thrilled as I was ;-) Anybody got a ride to Canada?
