For those who are still perplexed by this, and who probably joined after
the Big Cuskynole discussion, there is a highly edited summary of things
in this file in the FOOD section of the Florilegium:
cuskynoles-msg    (44K)  8/21/00    A medieval fruit-filled pasta dish.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD/cuskynoles-msg.html

(Believe me, if I had done only my usual amount of editing, this file
would have been much, much larger).

For what must be some really bizarre reason, Puck seems to want me
there. I hope this doesn't conflict with the Cook's Symposium in
Colorado, which I'm also considering attending. Either probably
costs me almost as much as my flight to Pennsic. :-(

> P.S. Puck, you're toast.

Aw, Adamantius, I think you can surely do better than this. Toast is
so easy to do. Even I can make toast. I would expect something really
wa-zoo from you.
