] It sounds good, thanks! Have you had a chance to compare it with "What Jane Austen ate, and Dickens Knew"?

No, Caroline, I haven't though I probably will at some point. It seems to get alot of bad press here at Pemberley---but I may just read it for fun, anyway. Honestly, who knows who they really ate or knew---it's all conjecture (though based on thoughtful research, I am sure)---so "What Jane Austen ate.." is probably as valid as any other book. Another good book I have is called "Jane Austen Style"---also lots of good info interspersed with her writings. And many nice pictures, too! This BB is a great idea---whoever thought of it (Amy, I think)---a big thank you!
