Oh heck yeah.  I'm swearing in two new proteges that day.  Everyone's 
invited who wishes to be there.   Aeddie and I will probably go to a 
lecture at the Huntington Library in the morning about their historical 
cookbook collection but we will be there in the late afternoon just when 
the tourney is getting Interesting.

Pick them green rather than yellow.  I've just given myself a bad 
experience at Sunland Produce where I usually buy my quinces.  I thought 
buying the yellow ones would be sweeter and riper, instead they were 
brown on the inside.  Yuck.  The green one was nice and white.  Too bad 
I got distracted and let them burn while experimenting.  Oops.  Oh 
well.  Another one for the Burned Food Museum.
