[Sca-cooks] peer fear

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Peer fear, schmeer fear.  The Cute Li'l Red-Haired Girl needs to calm down.
These are all very nice people, and not all of them are peers either.   And even
if they are, they were nice people first.  What's the worst they can do?
Catalogue your books?

Too bad Cariadoc couldn't make it, he would keep the cooks happy all day with an
unending supply of stories;  I have fond memories of some of my earliest feasts
in Lyondemere when he was here, teaching at UCLA in the mid-80's and keeping us
amused with period recitations, viscountess jokes and other ways to make the
hours of drudgework fly by.

Selene, Caid, sorry not to be coming to EK 12th but maybe someday
