[Sca-cooks] OOP: 18th c. chocolate (was Weight of candied orange peel?)

[Generys ferch Ednuyed]

I borrowed a mocajete from our baron the other day when I entered a cooking
contest that didn't allow any sort of electric cooking implements, and it
was **wonderful** - chopped almonds down to almond meal for almond milk in
like no time flat -now I need one - they're fairly inexpensive too, I've
seen them online for under $30, so I think I'm getting one sometime soon...
