SC - MKCF: Where to get the Recipes

Well, ya see it's like this...first you distract them with a plate
of food in their hands and then as they turn to go toward the
hall....*whack* The real trick is getting the head to fall on
the platter you just handed them...make sure it's a bed of
greens. Looks much better that way.

(For some reason I've got Salome's Last Dance stuck in
my brain right now...."Bring me the head of John the Baptist!")

>Nice story. :-) Menu? Recipes, please?

I'd post 'em to the list, but at the size of the file, we'd
end up with multiple digests worth of just my recipes.
So...to fix that dilemma, I have placed a PDF file of the
feast recipes and notes booklet on the Middle Kingdom
Cook's Collegium website. You can access the file at this
location:

    http://mkcooks.homestead.com/files/MKCrntnFstS2k.pdf

I am trying to get a copy together that is HTML (it's a matter
of messing with the conversions in my software program
really) for the Cook's site too. If I can manage something
non-ugly, I also plan to get a text copy to Stefan for
the flori-thingy.

Barring that, if there is anyone who would like a copy who
cannot access the web to get it, please let me know. I will
be happy to send you a paper copy or a disk copy (Mac or
PC format) if you send me a private request (so as not to
clutter the list). A buck or two to cover the postage and
copying would be welcome, but not required.

For those of you who may have missed the menu I posted
a while back, here it is, in case it helps you decide if you
want to go download the 84 pages worth of my notes *grin*:
