[Sca-cooks] Quail eggs ( was: no subject)

[Laura C. Minnick]

OK, I just had a revelation (you know how when you try to remember
something, and can't, then later, while you're picking up the dry-cleaning
or cleaning the hair out of the bathtub drain, it all comes back to you...)

Philomena (Filomena in the Italian) was in Boccaccio's _Decameron_. It was
the story about a young woman who was raped (ISTR by her sister's husband)
and was murdered so she wouldn't tell. There was a nightingale involved
somehow (the nightingale is known by the name). I'd look it up but
naturally my copy of the _Decameron_ is... (all together now) in storage
180 miles away...

*sigh*

Now is to wonder if there's a reason our Troll picked that particular name?
