[Sca-cooks] 12th night EK

[Olwen the Odd]

Marion, it was good to read your missive.  I even passed it on to our cooks
guild list for them to read.  I'm glad you all had so much; so many hands,
so many friends, so many caring souls.  I'm glad you shared.
Thank you.
Olwen

>In my years in playing in this group I have attended many 12th nights.  To
>me 12th Night has always been one of my favorite events.  You see everyone
>in their best garb, courts are visually spectaccular, most people come to
>talk of their holidays, and the up coming years plan. We all live in a
>pretty busy barony were " you can't seem to swing a cat without hitting a
>peer" ( famous quote here:)   I saw a lot of peers in Bridge Saturday,
>Countess Mistress Morgan Duval taking off her gown and cornet to work in
>the kitchen with out missing a beat when asked.  Offering to take me to
>BJ's store when someone asked me to pick up somethings that was needed last
>minute.  Master Jorum helping move tables and organize things the way the
>autocrate of the event planned.  Mistress,Baroness Coltilde von der Insel
>explaining to me while hugging me and wiping tears from me  that the poor
>showing of the A&S works from the East was not a reflection on me as the
>A&S officer of this Barony but of the populace themselves. I provided the
>tools, tables and judges, and that is all I could do.    Baron Ulric von
>der Insel showing up to the event right after his guard duty to make sure
>Rich was ok and the event was running well.  Mistress Rowen taking time
>from her husband, to be a judge on leatherwork piece. (her husband, Lord
>Geoffry Dwggns was made a Laurel that day)   Countess, Mistress Catlin
>after doing the childrens activities found time to help out with some set
>up too.  The one thing that does stick out in my mind is this, I had to
>leave the site to pick up my children at their grandmother's (which did not
>allow me to stay for feast)  Puck came home around 1:30ish ( I think)
>moving very slowly from the events of the day.  When I asked him if the
>site was secured and everything was done, he replied that Baroness,
>Mistress Elspeth had sent him home.  That Lord Ralph and Herself would
>finish the kitchen. They had it under control and thought it best he come
>home.  Amazing, the woman has her Laurel in cooking and doesnot perceive
>herself above doing dishes.   Their we others who live here in the Barony
>who were amazing, Lady Elisabeth Borden, who when I said I needed her to
>help me with something, we both ran hand in hand in the kitchen to do what
>needed to be done.( I smell almonds still)   Lady Isabue, Lady Auriana,
>still helping with the feast when their dayboard was done.  Lady Jael who
>seemed to be playing secreatary for my husband and me randomly through out
>the day. Lady Deidra and Lord Cormac after having their first full day away
>from their son, grabed garb off of Paige's rack and jumped head first into
>the kitchen. ( Lee, I don't know about you, but I don't want to look at
>anymore veal:)  I saw alot of peers on Saturday.  I saw alot of people
>flashing "badges" and "cookies" around  and expalining "who they were"   I
>also saw some real peers too.  The ones who live right here at home.  The
>East Kingdom is full of great talent,our Barony, I beleive, is an
>exception, we have great talent and great peers.  Thank you to everyone for
>reminding me why I still play this game.  And to Puck, you put on a great
>event,you worked hard and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  Thank you
>for making this event happen.
