Fw: Fw: [Sca-cooks] Honey in Meso-America

[Phlip]

More from Gene...

Incidently, folks, in case you're wondering, Gene would like to be on
SCA-Cooks, but we're simply way too high traffic for him- same with Paul
Buell- both gentlemen are way too busy. Consequently, our compromise is that
I forward over to them matters I think they'd be interested in, and they
respond as they choose- if there's a difference in what I ask them as
opposed to what the poster said (often a matter of background for the basis
for the discussion) I'll include that too, if it's relevent or helpful to
either party posting.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
