Can you give me more details on this last assertion, that wine was the  
breakfast beverage in Castile in the 15th C.? We've talked about foods  
for SCA breakfasts before as well as a bit on period breakfasts, when  
they existed.

I tried to look through your blog and didn't see more info on this.  
However, since blogs appear to be just serial with no indexes, I may  
have overlooked it or not gone far enough back. I'm just now, this  
holiday, finding time to get over to your blog with time to read  
through it.

I'm probably biased, but I'm having trouble find what I'm looking for  
in blogs or searching blogs for what I'm looking for. The same goes  
for 'bookmarking' or saving the info I find in blogs.

For instance the Spanish cheese pies that you mention and point to in  
Charles Perry's blog look like a wonderful party or revel item. But  
unless I try to simply save the info by copying and pasting it into a  
file on my system, I'm not sure of a good way to save the recipe for  
my later use. I'm hoping that they can be baked ahead of time and then  
warmed up just before leaving for the party or revel in the microwave  
or oven.

I love having the photographs of the food items. Several items I would  
probably have skipped over, but I was drawn to read them after seeing  
the food item in a photograph.

Thanks,

    Stefan
