[Sca-cooks] Need Recipes for Yule Contests...

[johnna holloway]

Ok, let me get started with some thoughts about this
and I will get back to you by personal e-mail either
later on tonight or tomorrow. I have scouts to run this
afternoon but I'll give it some study while they go
sell popcorn.

You may have found the questions strange, but I am a reference
librarian/bibliographer by trade so I prefer to start with
some knowledge of interest level. I hate recommending recipes
that cost big bucks or take lots of time if that's not needed.
