[Sca-cooks] publishing opportunity

[Laura C. Minnick]

Hi gang!

For those of you into the serious scholarly writing, etc. here is the
perfect opportunity to dispell some of those "Medieval food is icky!"
notions! Or others, as you will. Just be sure to read the directions
carefully- don't embarrass yourself!
