[Sca-cooks] Poudre Fine / Fine Spices

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

I picked up my e-mail this morning and, Wow! Such a wealth of 
information and sources and resources! This list can be truly amazing 
(when we're not talking about jelly beans and Mario Nebbits and 
Lutheran binder).

I have six recipes so far, some having more than one variation either 
in the original source or the scholarly interpretation, dating from 
1324 to 1607. Four i had found on my own in materials in my personal 
library or on the internet - and some of those sources are courtesy 
of people on this very list. The two additional recipes came purely 
through this list. I am indebted to the folks here, regardless of how 
i do in the competition.

I have not had a chance to incorporate all the info that was e-mailed 
yesterday and today into my research, and there may be some 
additional recipes or sources.

OK, so i was a slacker yesterday. So sue me! I didn't check my e-mail 
beyond the early AM. Instead, I went to see "Hidalgo" and then have 
dinner with an SCA friend. Afterwards, i came home i worked on a 
project to make gifties for our Queen's "Treasure Chest". And when i 
tired of that, i had this unaccountable urge to read... fiction! I 
haven't read any fiction in several years and i don't have any novels 
i have i've already read (part of the problem is i read fiction too 
fast so it often isn't worth it to me to spend the money for 
something i'll finish in an hour or two). Oh, well.

Back to work.
