[Stefan li Rous]

Renata requested:

<<< OOOOOooo! Yes, please, and I'd like the directions for the rough  
ones, too! >>>

Hopefully I will get her article and have it online for you in the  
Florilegium in the next few days.

In the meantime, for more info on Comfits, take a look at this file.  
This should have info on making the "rough" comfits.
