Haven't been there for the Estrella War, have you?

Yep. I'm waiting to see what happens when you win the Atenveldt Crown.

Oooh. The braised ribs sound good. Got any good recipes? I do
have a crock pot. Period or non-period. I only have a few
period rib recipes in this file, and could always use more.

Is this a combined fighter practice of the three baronies in the
Phoenix area? Or just one barony??? If the former, do you also
have smaller Canton or single Barony fighter practices? Seems
like it would be a long drive for a lot of folks if there is only
one fighter practice each week.


Our fighter practices are also a major social gathering. Often the

others outnumber the fighters, both rapier and armored. If this is
true at the fighter practice you mention, then that is a really
large event.
