[Ansteorra] Mustard?

On the subject of preparing mustard, I believe that if you are mixing
from powder, the temperature of the water you us will make a great
difference in its 'potency' - if you use very cold (iced water) the
result will be a quite 'hot' mixture; and conversely, if you mix with a
very wary (almost hot) water, you will achieve a much milder concoction.
This has been proven when mixing Chinese mustard for table use, and
should follow the pattern using other powdered mustards as well. Here's
wishing you "Happy culinary catastrophes!"

I have heard that the longer you age it the milder it gets. I believe
that
French's lets their mustard age for a month before bottling.

Thank you Corrine. Peers make mistakes. I have made many. I tell you
what has made me fly straight. The faith and trust the people of
Ansterorra have put in me. I might be a lowly individual with petty
faults, but when someone Like Master Robin tells his story about me or
someone talks about me doing something nice for them I am humbled. It
makes me want to live up to that image. It is like having a gentleman
carry your favor. You want to be the best you can be to be worthy of the
honor. We need to talk about our peers that do right.
Being a good noble and peer is not natural. Going around and giving
praise and largess, sticking you nose into situations so the Kingdom
will run right. making sure there is justice in the land and judging
future peers are not the natural things we do everyday. It doesn't help
when our friends and populace are telling us not to put on aires or
people suggest we wear our hats doing dishes at home. The kingdom of
Ansteorra relies on its peers and noble taking a lot of the slack. It
works best when they do their job. Because our Kings and Queens, nobles
and peers work so hard we give them a lot of respect. When we were using
the historical model for our kingdom everyone knew his/hers job. Now it
is different. Persona is going out the door and more and more people are
stressing everyone should be "real". Real is great for some people
because in the real world they are a peer, but for many of us mistake
making humans real means we can be just good old Joes and we do not and
shoul
d not pu
t on aires. Being a Peer or Noble becomes just a title not a job and
duty.
Lets look a simple thing as helping a lady. I read in a national
newspaper that in England they have signs that say if you want to be
polite to a lady you will not come close to her or speak to her. This
magazine suggested that might be a good idea in the US. The real world
suggests that everyone is equal and it might be misunderstood if a
gentleman helped a lady. Now the historical model says helping ladies
is good and when we were all playing the base persona of living in an
Medieval world people did a lot of courtesies. Now that we are living
the SCA as a modern alternate lifestyle people are bringing in their
everyday values and not helping as much.
If we stopped believing in Ansteorra as a Medieval world then we become
Modern people dressed up in funny clothes and following standard values
of the everyday world. The ideals we love become make believe.

Thank goodness those that govern the SCA realize that many of us have
interests outside of the preferred focus of the organization (that being
the Western European Middle Ages). As such, the Handbook of the SCA
indicates that "most of the world, and all the centuries prior to the
17th" are open for research by the membership. Diverse interests are
additionally protected because branches are not allowed to restrict
themselves according to specific times and places, thus allowing our
members to pursue their own particular interests. While the SCA clearly
encourages a focus on the European Middle Ages it most certainly does
not require it, and in fact protects the rights of it's members to
explore other areas. If it were not for the foresight of the people who
have worked on the Handbook over the years, the SCA would be a far
poorer (and much less colorful) place because it would be without the
multitudes of devotees who embrace cultures from a variety of eras and
places,
including Norse, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Chinese, Mongol, Eastern
European, Russian, Anglo Saxon, Greek, Roman, Celtic, Romano-Brit,
Sythian, etc. etc. etc.
Mistress Corrinne
The avowed purpose of the SCA is the study and recreation of the
European
Middle Ages, its crafts, sciences, arts, traditions, literature, etc.
The
SCA "period" is defined to be Western civilization before 1600 AD,
concentrating on the Western European High Middle Ages.

Mustard will mellow over time. If you are tasting it right after you
make it, then you are getting an incorrect impression of what it will
taste like after it ages some. The spiciness will also differ
depending upon which type of mustard seed you use, and what other
ingredients you are adding to your mustard. Adding honey for
instance should make your mustard less "hot" but also make it
sweeter. If you are using vinegar, the type of vinegar you use will
have an effect on the taste.
For a bunch more info on period mustards and a number of period
recipes, see these files in the FOOD-CONDIMENTS section of the
Florilegium.

This one I defend. I use the walkie talkies so my wife can go have a
little fun and get away from me from time to time. Now those who bring
them so they can be lazy and let their children run helter skelter and
use those as a way of "proving they know where their children are" I
agree. I also see events using them now for security/autocrating. If it
wasn?t for them I remember a Stepps warlord that would have had more
problems than it did with the Bikers.

One comment....
I find the cellphones alot less offensive than the walkie talkies...
there are few people who know how to program the walkie talkie
things....and you can hear people's personal business coming out of
5 or 6 different people's lower halves in a court...or as you walk
through
the merchant area.
at least with a cellphone you only have the potential of hearing
1/2 of a conversation, and less if the person is polite enough to
walk off...it's much easier to figure out how to be inobtrusive
with a cell...

Any time I bring a newcomer into the SCA, I consider them my 'little
project' as it were. I guide them in the right direction to find a name,
persona, etc... I make their first piece of garb, then I tell them I'll
teach them how to sew. I drag them to their first camping event, loan
them a
tent, feast gear, etc, and give them advice on how/where to get their
own. I
introduce them to people - when their little wings are ready, I push
them
out of the nest and they find a happy home in the SCA.
My newest newcomer decided she wanted to be an Italian gypsy - she chose
a
wonderfuld italian name, documentable and all, and knows what she wants
on
her device (only 1 change needed, which she's working on) - however
after
her first event, Valor in Calontir, I was able to gently guide her into
considering another fascet of Italian life as a persona.
