	The Masonic Skirret
		It is an implement which acts upon a center-pin, whence a line is drawn, chalked, and struck to mark out the ground for the foundation of the intended structure.
		What makes the skirret so special is that it is used before the foundation of a building is laid; and, therefore, the skirret is generally used before the other working tools.
		Initial use of the skirret enables changes to be made to the mark rather than, later, to change a finished foundation of stone or concrete.

		Skirret is a Sium species, a member of the Umbelliferae, the carrot and parsley family, a species not known for dust-like seeds -- I grew some years ago, and don't remember the seeds, but also don't remember they were particularly small.
		What I do remember most about the skirret was the sweet flavor of the roots and that wretchedly fibrous core that had to be removed.
		There was a lot of variation from plant to plant in sweetness and size of the core...

		I am finding them particularly useful sources of information on ember roasting — a techinque that seems to have been common — but was largely outside the interest of cookbook authors.
		Thomas Muffett’s work, a combination of medical and culinary text has a wonderful entry on skirrets in which roasting “four or five together in a wet paper under embers” is one of the suggested cooking methods.
		Ash baking is a cooking method of poverty, and as such is little documented.
