[Sca-cooks] monastic cooking

[Johnna Holloway]

Thanks for the information. I was just scanning the list at this store  
and wondered if anyone had seen it
or might find it interesting.
I have no idea if the original poster Waldetrudis von Metten/Kimetha  
Steele ever found what was wanted or not. Posted once and disappeared.
