SC - Gyric's Feast Blues was First Feasts

[Lee-Gwen]

Bonne commented on Gyric's feast. I'm going to use Bonne's comments as
a springboard to give you (Gyric and anyone else interested) a few
files in the Florilegium, which will give you a condensation of what
we've discussed on that subject before. This often includes both original
and redacted recipes. Gyric, since I've been having trouble getting my
messages to this list, I'm going to cc you by email, also.

I hope you find these files useful. I hope you don't feel overwhelmed
with all this. Choose the ones you think sound the most interesting 
and look at a few. You don't have to read the entire Florilegium in
a day (or a week or a month...) I'm not sure you could. 

I have heard comments though from folks who say they get lost in there
and 
the next time they look up several hours have passed. :-)
