>You poor dear.  I know what you're going to feel like at the end.

I can't believe I agreed. What the *heck* was I thinking?

Now I have to come up with two additional types of bread to
make. I was asked to make the buttermilk oat bread for the
third course. Now I need two other kinds of bread for the
first two courses.

A flat bread perhaps for the first, as it is supposedly a Roman
course. Suggestions for this? Or am I making a wild assumption
I shouldn't? I'm I getting my ancient Greece mixed up with my
Roman food habits?

And then there's the second course. I have no idea what to choose.
There'll be a thick apple sauce, salad, a mushroom pie, beef roast
with  walnut garlic sauce, seed cakes, and a goose served at head
table for the King and Queen.

I know we've talked about this on the list before, but
there's just not much by way of actual bread recipes in our
corpus of recipes, is there? Platina goes on and on about the
grains and why some of them are so good and that seems to
be about the extent of it in the English translations of anything
I've read. But do we actually have any real recipes? Maybe
something from a baker's guild record or something?
