Original Recipe #7: Quail with Lavender and Honey
I will publish the title and most of the ingredients list. If you want to see the instructions, equipment list, etc., contact me and (subject to my whims) I'll give you the rest. I would be EXTREMELY angry if anyone were to republish these on the web or otherwise, or were to enter them into any contest. This way I know who has them. The copyright is mine alone.
