Yeah, that would help ;-)

Not a problem- I can bring my sources, understanding that all mine are
period translations- I don't, I think, have any commercial redaction
collections. Margali's copy of Cindy's stuff, and Cariadoc's cookbooks are
as close as I come.

Yeah, but if it has veggies in it, you'll instantly knock it down in points
;-)

Well, last year, you came up with the idea, then didn't DO anything with it.
If we'd like to get something going like this, we need someone with lots of
enthusiasm, and not a lot of sense (because anyone with a lot of sense would
realize what they're getting into ;-) to take it on, and set it up.

I'm just a bit busy, considering I've just volunteered to do a couple of
overnights at Point 1st week, in addition to everything else, but I'd LOVE
to enter something like that.

Anybody feeling particularly energetic and masochistic out there? Jadwiga,
SHUT UP- no helium hands accepted from you ;-P
