[Sca-cooks] Re: Flaming Subtleties (was Piecrust revisited, was, Books for Cooks)

[Nancy Kiel]

Since people are lighting and heating their homes with open flame, I'm not 
sure that they would worry TOO much about a flaming dish.  Also, I have 
learned the hard way that a single spark often is not enough to burn 
charcloth  (especially made for burning), so I expect it would take a bit of 
doing to set your average table setting/tabe cloth on fire.

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.
