Actually I was referring in the context of being proud to have produced
a non-period feast. Why tell that to the Cooks' list? On the other hand,
I recognize that producing a first feast is something like teaching a
pig to sing Verdi- the wonder is not in singing _La Traviata_, but that
it can sing at all!

If the aria is our goal, however, the warm-up notes are just that...
