Ooo! Adamantius just called me a stinker... What a fink!  You ain't smelled
nothing until you've smelt me after eating the boiled garlic recipe in Pleyn
Delite (the original source eludes my memmory, and I'm at work so I cant look
it up).  The wife has threatened to banish me from the bedroom.

Thanks though.  I find the gene concept unusual.  I cooked a dinner for 8 which
featured Asparagus heavily and we all commented on the smell the next morning. 
Must be all that Canberra 'interbreeding'...

Drakey.

ps. Did you manage to look at that Yuan Feast Plan yet, Addy?
