[Sca-cooks] cooking and the rosary

[Stefan li Rous]

Sisuile asked:

<<< I ended up in a discussion at Pennsic with a gentle who was  
recounting the
period use of telling the rosary as, effectively, an egg timer. As it  
was
one of those passing conversations that just happen in the merchant  
area, I
didn't think to ask *where* he had found this, other than in a  
cookery book.
Does this use jog anyone's memory? A citation would be lovely, though  
I'll
happily take whatever anyone can give me. >>>

Take a look at these two files in the FOOD section of the Florilegium:

rec-in-verse-msg  (12K)  2/ 2/07    Period recipes written in a verse  
format.
rec-tim-pray-msg  (22K)  8/29/08    Period recipes using prayers for  
timing.

Okay, I just recently created the second one and haven't uploaded it  
to the website yet. I will get it uploaded later tonight.
