[Sca-cooks] Stefan's Florilegium article for December

[Stefan li Rous]

A Merry Yule to all those reading this on the SCA-Cook's list!

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for December describing what  
is new in the Florilegium for this month.

Since we have a lot of new and updated files this month, I didn't try  
to remind you of all the various Yule oriented files in the  
Florilegium. But if you would like to find out more about what the  
Yule season was like in the Middle Ages, or need beverage or food  
recipes for various revels and parties, both within and outside of  
the SCA, check the CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS, BEVERAGES and the various  
FOOD sections in the Florilegium.

If you have ever written a class handout or A&S documentation, please  
think about sending it to me for possible inclusion in the  
Florilgium. This is a great way to give back to the Society that we  
all enjoy and I'll accept updates at any time. This means you don't  
have to wait until you know everything about a subject since you can  
update an article as you learn more. Even if something is incomplete  
readers can still learn from it and perhaps having something in the  
Florilegium will get you questions and comments which will help you  
learn more about your subject.

Best Wishes for a Merry Yule and a Happy New Year,
     Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past nineteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  
collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  
this information available to others, I have placed this information  
in a collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  
article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  
it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. A&S documentation  
and class handouts will also often work out well.
