[Sca-cooks] 12th night EK

[Elaine Koogler]

In Atlantia we have a saying, "If you want to find the King, look for the
guy up to his elbows in soap suds in the kitchen".

In truth, that's the way peers are supposed to behave...and most of the time
most of us do.  Occasionally we forget...or slip...much to our own disgrace.

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.

In Service,

Lady Marion
