It will help teach him more valuable research skills. Also I am going to have to get in trouble for being nit picky here but in your above post you used the wrong words. You said you were going to "make" him and he would "have to" do these things. I beg to differ. It is an honor to be able to do this sort of thing and most kids do not have the resources or the teacher who can make it happen. You will "let" him and "allow" him to do those kinds of privilages.

This one applies to history but it can get you knowledge on all kinds of information legal or illegal, good or bad. So far you have been encouraged to ask somebody who may know something. In this case it was a group on the internet who live all over the world and you never know what they will know or tell you. They have sent you to secondary source books which are a good source of information. I want to give you another avenue to explore. Go to Dean's site at: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/amm.html From there go into his search engine and type French dump* This will give you the original source for a recipe for French dumplings. They are not specific to Santa Fe but they may have found there way there. You will have to do a little creative imagining to make the recipe work but the ones I have made have all been good. And yes you can deep fry in tin cookware just fine. Now I happen to know just what to search for to get you this recipe but from there you have to work harder. Maybe type in kamas or coffee or cooking. This is harder and slower to get information from than getting it from secondary sources but there is some rewards in finding your information in an original source. Good hunting and good luck on preparing and serving your findings.

This morning, I caught an interview with Harold Tichenor, author of a new book, _ The blanket : an illustrated history of the Hudson's Bay blanket_. Thichenor says this book discusses the history of the HBC point blanket, all the way from the origin of the woven "points" in the 1500's, to how to date an antique blanket. (He said it is easiest to date blankets produced since 1890, because of the labels, but he also provides some rough ideas on how to date pre-1890 blankets.) Tichenor's research was spurred by the surprisingly high price of second-hand blankets, which he found was fuelled by reeanactors and collectors. When the HBC found out about his research at the HBC Archives (http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/about/blankets.html), they commissioned the book, since they often get questions about dating blankets. (I've gotten my share of these questions too.) It sounds like this book is the authoritative guide many folks have been looking for. The book is supposed to be on sale at most Bay stores, but you can also order it over the phone or online. Go to www.hbc.com, and then paste the product number 25624669 into the search box on the top left side of the webpage. (Searching on Tichenor will also work, but don't bother trying to search on "blanket" or "book".) At present, this book is *not* available online from Chapters, Indigo, Amazon.ca, or Amazon.com. I haven't seen the book yet myself, but I'll try to get a copy in the next week or so.
