Roanna (called Rowan, long story) de Laci, here.  Been lurking for several 
months, BECAUSE:

When I first subscribed, I thought I was pretty good at this medieval 
cooking thing.  After all, I had His Grace's recipes, got my Mom hooked on 
cheese tarts, no doubt about it, I was a 'hot spit jockey'.

Then I started reading the messages, and the redactions and the 
translations, and figured out (within the first 24 hours!) I knew BUPKIS.

So I saved digests, copied out recipes, practiced, practiced, practiced, 
girded up my loins (so to speak) and joined the local cooks guild (Bright 
Hills - Hi, Olwen!), and am still practicing.

Plus, I'm still sorta in awe about the depth of knowledge that gets sloshed 
around here.  And way too proud to parade the breadth of my ignorance.  
(Except I just sort of did that, didn't I?  Oh, well...)

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

P.S.  Belated thanks to Ras & Elysant for getting married, and to Lady 
Phillipa Seton for posting her menu for their reception.  I used your Pommes 
Moilles as my entree dish at my first Cooks' Guild meeting - typed it out, 
gave you (and the list) credit, listed what I did differently from the 
original redaction and what I would do differently next time.  See what I've 
learned from you folks?
