[Sca-cooks] a Lenten question-

[Sue Clemenger]

Thanks for pointing out some interesting viewpoints to this! I'm afraid 
most of the barony already thinks I'm somewhere between nuts and a 
complete joke.  Our Spring Feast is the Saturday before Palm Sunday, 
which I said meant I could eat meat that day, if I do this one-week 
fasting thing, and boy did I get some strange looks! Our baron was 
making jokes about "blessing" everything and turning it into fish, which 
was kinda funny, but also definitely missing the point.  Couple of 
people wondered why I was even bothering, since I (Sue) am not even 
Christian.
And yes, I did mean the week prior to Easter.  My 
not-enough-caffeine-yet oops.
--maire, who found a LOT of potential recipes in her cookbooks tonight, 
but might break down and have sushi for one meal ;-P (eel, yummmmmmm!)
