If you have fond memories of food at my place or mentions of food on my blog or you have always wondered about spiced wine in the Middle Ages or *anything* let me know, because I have realised that the holiday season is the perfect time for a series of food posts. I keep thinking I have promised people recipes and also answers to historical food questions. I remember one promise. I promise deborahb a scrummy historical doughnut recipe for Chanukah. Chanukah starts in a few days, Ms Biancotti, and I expect you to test the recipe once I post it!!

Anyone else? Drop gentle hints or direct reminders. Ask questions. Demand whatever needs demanding. Cos if you don't, you will be stuck with what *I* think is interesting ... and you never know where that may lead. For instance, the other day I enthusiastically told the person in charge of Conflux arrangements at Rydges how to make raw mincemeat look foul by adding worms made of marzipan.

Droidels!

I have always wanted one of these. I am going to print mine out on purple paper and call it a feminist droidel. http://www.starwars.com/kids/activity/crafts/f20051216/index.html
