Jeeze, is our cooking so bad that the MDs are ready
before we start?

Alys, didn't you have some hand outs on sugar paste?
If you have them on line, they might be helpful for
Isbelot. Of course, if you Don't have them online, I
know better than to expect you to have time to put
them there any time before this winter ;-)

I do remember, though, getting a nice collection of
newsletters from you way back when. If you put them on
line, I bet Stefan might just find the space to file
them ;-)

Isbelot- have you looked in Stefan's Florilegium? I
think Alys has a couple of articles there which might
help you. Sugar paste and confections aren't my thing,
but I do enjoy and read about other's efforts.
