Papal encyclicals prior to the late 1800s. In fact, if you go on-line, you’d think the practically whole Middle and Dark ages never happened!! ☹ ---

You may have to leave the house to get a Calvin and Hobbs T-shirt. You can sometimes find them at swap meets. I’ve been trying to find information on the medieval humoral theory. You know, the one about everything is warm/cold/wet/dry or some combination thereof? I do historical cooking as a hobby and I need some in depth information on food humors. What I really want is a nice chart with all the foods described in an easy-to-understand format. ---

Quince. Flowering quince. A site that sells same. Actually, I found a couple, but they sell only bonsai versions. I want something I can stick in my backyard and grow, not something I have to pamper in a pot. I don’t know why this would be so freakin’ hard to find, but it is. ---

tsarina - See if this helps you - [http://www.abebooks.com](http://www.abebooks.com) They list two copies of “King Matt The First,” one for $95 and one for $124. Since this is a book search service, they will have other copies from time to time and you might find an even cheaper copy. Bumbazine - I couldn’t find a good purine list, but I found some small lists that you may find useful. It’s very annoying that no one has a good list, since so many people and dogs need to cut down on purines. Yes, I now know that Dalmations have trouble with purines. So I did learn something. [http://members.tripod.com/~glyn4life/HEALTH/purine.htm](http://members.tripod.com/~glyn4life/HEALTH/purine.htm) Ug. Kill the music. But there is a chart that gives a range of purine amounts for many foods. [http://www.dialadietitian.org/resources/handouts/goutdiet.html#purine](http://www.dialadietitian.org/resources/handouts/goutdiet.html#purine) This is similar to the above chart. Check out the little footnotes - they tell you the nutrition books they used as sources. One of these books might be what you need.

A decent link to, or picture of, **McEwans Ale**. I get a bunch of bars that stock it, but not much else. ---

I’ve been looking for an interior painting guide that lets you experiment with bold colors. You know, like maybe showing you a standard furnished room, and with the push of a button see how it would look with brilliant red walls instead of eggshell. I keep seeing tantalising links that seem like they’d do this, but they are either lame text-only articles about choosing color, or they load so damned slowly I give up before I can discover if they’re what I’m looking for. I also can’t find (anymore) a really good list of ideas on how to use a Victorian theme for a wedding. Same with a western theme. I can find a dozen sites selling western-style wedding wear, but none just offering IDEAS. ---
