Thanks to David/Cariadoc for suggestions:

>Badinjan Muhassa is a yummy period dip.

Is this in the on-line Miscellany or Recipes? If not, please share.

>Andalusian lentils are easy to cook, and the ingredients keep (the

Yes, i'm using historical recipes for the lentils and/or chickpeas 
with spinach and one of yours for a spinach dish.

>>My consort is a fighter (i'm not yet, but i intend to become a

Alas, he, too, is a Frank, a Norman. I am doing my best to civilize 
him. Fortunately he does limit his consumption of ale. And i do get 
the chili with beef or fowl. And he will eat whatever i cook. I am 
slowly "turning him to the Maghribi side". He now has material for a 
turban (nice indigo blue ikat cotton) and at the SCA demo at 
DundraCon over the weekend Khaleed (of the bat-winged octopus arms) 
demonstrated to him the wrapping of a turban.
