[Sca-cooks] Fw: [EKCooksGuild] their royal majesties... *blink*

[Elaine Koogler]

Please understand, I am not being critical of TRM...yes, Cuan and 
Padraigan are GREAT folks. I count them among my friends. It was 
actually Ragnarr and Kyneburh I was talking about. It was very difficult 
to provide food that they both could/would eat. We became very concerned 
when I heard from their contact about their dietary restrictions. But 
fortunately, they were quite gracious and told us to cook the feast as 
we wished, but would appreciate it if we could provide them with things 
they liked and could eat...which we did. My only point was that it was 
quite distressing to a new cook to see all of her sauces, which she was 
very proud of, returned untasted. I understand about Atkins...been 
there, did that some years back. And I'm currently on the South Beach 
diet. But, even though she is not currently my student (may be 
soon...I'm also trying to encourage her to join this list), I felt that, 
as one who had been asked to advise her, that I should at least taste 
everything she did...and I made sure she knew that I was on South Beach. 
I don't think any of us knew TRM were on Atkins!
