Welcome to the treasure hunt Penny. Thankyou for the recipes. That's 4 seed packets for you so far. Good luck with the treasure hunt. Keep track of the number of recipes you submit in case I make an error counting. I do that from time to time. It's not on purpose it's just me and my disability.

OK, Ladies and Gents the treasure hunt will be closing on Friday morning so check those recipe books and call great aunt martha so we can get all of these recipes in the cookbook.

This is shaping up wonderfully with all your help.

The seed choices will be made this way. The person who submits the most recipes will get first pick of my personal stash of seeds then the person with the second most recipes entered will get to pick and so on like that. I have to do that because in most cases I only have one packet of seeds of each type of plant. In case of ties it will be random who goes first before the other person.

Miss Jamie nice research on the coq au vin recipe. It looks yummy to me too.

Miss Jamie on the Sorel Sauce recipe. How much "poaching liquid" are we talking about. I'm confused. I'd love to include the recipe but I think there is a bit of information missing.

You all are doing a fantastic job. Thank you so much for all your help so far.
