People are always catching things to eat in Mercedes Lackey... and 
stewing them, sometimes. (Yes, my brain is completely fried by 
'beginning of semester' and I've reverted to whatever mushbrain reading 
I can dig out of the attic where my fiction collection ended up-- I'm 
now on my 4th Lackey of the week and desperately wishing I could find 
my copy of anything DWJ that I haven't read repeatedly in the last 
year...)
