because minivans are traditionally driven by moms who need space for 
kids and sports gear =)


>> cookingwise, i managed to find my copy of Cariadoc's redacted recipes but not the compendium of reprints so I have been working on plotting out a week of period food for a long camping event to ave a nice periodesque experience. Haven't really had any questions, at least so far =)

not as much, there really is only a couple ways to make patina of pears, 
a custard is a custard is a custard, proportions need to be kept - so 
the only real thing is tweaking seasoning =) mainly i am trying to 
adjust roman through rennaisance meal habits to match our more modern 
meal habits, keeping in mind as we have discussed onlist years ago the 
medieval habit of leftovers as the first meal of the day, and the sort 
of catholic pressure to only have 2 meals a day, and the roman habits 
that were sort of odd [like the majority of the population would 
actually not be able to cook so a lot of meals were purchased like bread 
cheese and some form of preserved viand like dried fish or sausage and 
fruits as meals , not to mention we dont drink our wine watered down =) ]

i am thinking of breakfast being bread, fruit, dried sausage and having 
instant cream of wheat and oatmeal [subbing for basic porridge] on hand 
all the time, doing a basic soup [my ricet for example, the meat can be 
canned as i like either boneless country style pork ribs or medium 
italian sausage as my protein source] or the vegan minestrone, and 
making dinners the interesting meal. I want to get one of those DC 
powered 'coolers' that I have seen online, no ice =) and i read 
somewhere someone powers theirs on a solar recharged battery pack so i 
am checking into that so perhaps a cooler of solidly frozen meat will 
make it easier to depend on not having to use canned meats [lords salt 
sounds good, i have always liked sauerbraten and hasenpfeffer] or dried 
meats, or go shopping every other day and dealing with melting ice =)

hopefully it will work out for you. I am part of a few yahoo groups and 
we are discussing how yahoo is screwing over us poor little groups but 
hven't really been able to figure out [we all write fan fiction and it 
is annoying when our archives of stories go dead and randomly do funky 
shite ... any suggestions - we don't want a random wordpress blog, or 
invest lots of money]


so ... what does it take to actually run a small server for something 
like the florithingy? it struck me that it is similar - storing files 
for access, and how does one organize something like this email group? 
if we want to divorce from yahoo and still remain in email contact 
groupwise, and have someplace to archive files [both images and text, 
though not so much in the way of images we can link to imagur  for that 
i guess?]
