I never got around to following up on this and I may not for several more 
years.  My current projects are a paper on simnels and other festive cakes 
as a presentation for the next symposium I attend, a critical review of 
1421, The Year China Discovered America, and another revision of a paper on 
potatoes for a class I teach in the SCA.  I've also been asked to talk to 
the Medieval Club of a science and technology charter school after the first 
of the year, so I'll probably be preparing at least one presentation for 
them.
