[Sca-cooks] alternatives to A&S competitions

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

That is very cool. Even when we know better, we all have this human 
tendency to assume that artists we admire sprang forth fully developed 
as Athena from the forehead of Zeus...   And then we become frustrated 
and annoyed with ourselves when we don't. And sometimes the people who 
are very good in one form are the worst -  they expect to be able to do 
other things equally well, and, of course, can't.
