Being unfamiliar with the concept of a Laurel's Prize Tourney I would
be very interested in hearing more about what and why you have put
together what you have. Is there written Documentation done/required?
If so, would it be possible to get an electronic copy? I would also be
very interested in hearing more about your research into period
grinding vs chopping. You are doing some very interesting stuff. Even
if I cannot taste it (woe is me) I would love to see what all is
behind it.

Grazie,
