[Sca-cooks] Anniversary of Amore

[Olwen the Odd]

Why no, I don't have a copy of that.  I do recall reading somewhere though
that asperagus were thought to be an aphrodesiac.  Can't recall about
artichokes.  Hm.  I might be cool to do a basket made of asperagus and fill
it with stuff.  Or maybe not.  Or I could just do it all in marzipan.  Too
bad almonds aren't on the list (I assume).
