At long, long last, thanks to the dedicated work of my amazing and talented husband, my translations are all up on the web for public perusal!
For those of you who weren't previously aware, one of my many bizarre hobbies is translating 16th century Italian texts. I started with a dance manual, and have gone on to work on Commedia dell'Arte scenarios and a truly fascinating cookbook. The only one I've finished cover-to-cover is the dance manual, but I've got some interesting stuff from the other two texts as well.
They're probably only of serious interest to other people in the SCA, but anyone who's curious is welcome to take a look - they're at

It's not the prettiest or the tidiest web page ever, and the translations for the individual recipes from Scappi aren't at all organized, indexed, or inter-linked yet, but at least they're somewhere visible, and that's a start. From here, I can work on tidying things up - and this will also give me an incentive to get back to work and make more progress, most likely starting with the Commedia scenarios.
That can wait until tomorrow, though. Right now, I'm about to get to some seriously overdue sleep.
