[Sca-cooks] News and reviews of the Edible Monument show

[Patricia Dunham]

ha-ha-ho-ho, grrr~! anybody else notice that in the 7th/bread oven image, the person loading the loaves into the oven is described in the accompanying text as a MAN? first time I've ever seen a man depicted as wearing a "dixie-cup" headdress! 

thanks much for the urls, Jim!  Many excellent images, and they mostly enlarge with a double-click, too.  Second url leads to all-color images, and 1200-1500s mostly. 

thanks,
Chimene
