[Sca-cooks] Answers to my contest

Mon Apr 21 15:35:38 PDT 2008

I am very disappointed in the amount of people who entered my contest.  Specifically, only two.
Namely, Johnnae and Suey.

Suey was the first to enter and got 29 out of 40 answers correct.  Which I think is quite
remarkable in that English is not Suey's native tongue.  Good work, Suey!  You rock!

Johnnae entered a couple of days later, and being the research librarian and bibliophile 
that she is, she didn't use the internet or the OED and still got 40 out of 40 correct.
Yay, Johnnae!!!  You are awesome!!! And the contest winner.

Since Johnnae asked to have a piece of my husband's pottery instead of a Williams-Sonoma gift
card, she will be getting a period mammiform costrel as her prize.

I had thought to hold periodic contests in the future with real prizes.  However, with the
disappointing amount of entries, I am rethinking this.

Anyway, below is the list of answers.
