My gal pal Artemisia is getting apprenticed to Master Hroar at Pennsic,
yup, long-distance 'prentice from Caid, but she's a wonderful potter and
found a kindred soul through the magic of the Internet.  I'm
fail-testing her pipkins, so when I found a web site of this wonderful
man working and researching in the same line, I made sure she saw it --
now look what it's all come to!

On your advice, I will suggest she keep a weather eye on the state of
his health.  Arti is a definite nurturer type and will keep him fed and
hydrated.  Her boyfriend is my protege' so I'm sort of a "peer-in-law"
although she has a local Laurel "faculty advisor" as well.

Meanwhile, back on topic... too bad Dutch Oven is just an expression, if
they were really from the Netherlands, Giano would not have such a tough
time finding one.  [OK, this was a stretch, at least I'm trying.]
