[Sca-cooks] Finalized Menu For Norman Sicily

[Mairi Ceilidh]

Heck!  Heck!!  Heck!!!  I have had to change my plans for this weekend, and
will not be able to attend this event.  I REALLY wanted to play in the
kitchen with you.  Heck!!!

If there are any extras, could you see that Morfydd gets a copy of your
recipes and docs to bring to me?  Please?!  (Of course, she will want one
for herself, so that will probably make two she will want to get.)

I hope everything goes well for you, and that this feast is a huge success.
