Good Gentles,
For those of you that missed it, I would like to tell you about the fabulous
youth of Ansteorra. This past weekend , at Northkeep's wInterkingdom event., I
had the honor of teaching the class "Children's Feast". I am so proud of the
children that I could burst! I have bragged about them in the court following
the event but I neglected to mention that the children were required to
participate in "classes" prior to the event. These were about 5 weeks and were
done online. Two exceptions were made but the children did "catch-up" work to be
included in the kitchen. I had many responses (about 26). I was hoping they
would be from all over Ansteorra, but that was not to be, this time (I do
understand that it is a long distance for a one day event).
On the day, there were 20 children from the ages of 5 to 18 years old, in the
kitchen chopping, sauteing, roasting, mixing, making bread etc. . And they
were SPECTACULAR! By noon we were so far ahead of schedule, I wondered why we
don't do this every time! Lol
. Every child was on time reporting to the kitchen, they were scrubbed shiny
clean with hair secured and aprons on. Every child also used knives and heat
(open flame, burners, ovens etc.) and there was not a cut finger or a burn of
any kind. Feast was served on time, at the appropriate temperatures to an over
sold feast populace
I am so thrilled with these people that I just had to share with you. Thank
you for allowing me to do this.
A votre service,
HE Elisabeth de Calais
