[Sca-cooks] Meals for Women's hearts

[Christine Seelye-King]

Whoo Hoo!  I tell you what, I think he may win my heart yet...
We have been absolutely blown away by the offers of help from folks in the
Phoenix area.  My lord and I are heading out there next week to deal with
the contents of my parent's condo after my Dad's death last month.  It will
be a grueling trip, and expensive, too.  However, the folks out there (led
by Gunthar and Selene) have given us stuff to look forward to in among the
work, along with much needed offers of help and advice on the local area.
(I was telling my Baroness about this last night, and she said how much she
loved to hear stories like that, especially after dealing with so many
people's problems all the time.  The SCA is really one great big family,
warts and all.)
So, Gunthar, when is Selene's birthday, exactly?
Christianna
wishing she could get this meal without the need for the rest of the trip!
Oh, and Drakey, your meal sounds great, too!
