[Sca-cooks] Calafian Seige Cook-off Challenge

[Jane/Bj Tremaine]

Greetings,

The House of the Blackened Pot won the day.  We made noodles tossed in
cheese and butter, stuffed chicken, Sekanjabin, pickled relish(pear and
turnip), a cabbage pottage, a lentil pottage and ginger bread.

We were told presentation and documentation counted.  I will post our
recipes and documentation, when I get them back.  They are being typed and
put in the Calafian News Letter.

Maggie was right there were many wonderful recipes.  THL Elania took best
presentation, and she had an Lasagna to die for.  Lord Matt and THL Jonathan
Whithart took best dish with a stuffed cabbage that I want to have again,
The Abby came in second.  There were so many really great dishes, but these
two really stuck out in my mind.
