[Sca-cooks] Coronation Thanks

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

The feast at EK Coronation was successful and (mostly) uneventful.  I would like to 
thank the people who worked very hard to bring it to fruition.

My co-cook and kitchen manager, Berelinde, kept things running smoothly 
Baron Irik Rodbjorn was a steady rock throughout the day
Jadwiga, who did a million things and kept me sane besides 
Phlip, who wrestled 40 pounds of spinach into submission 
Christopher of Iron Bog, for his deft knifework and unfailing courtesy 
Ben e Draig, salmon-wrangler extraordinnaire 
Magdalena 
Orvarg, Master of Meat 
Galen 
Richenda 
Jan and Jana of Visby 
Mistress Merlynia, for her magnificent dragon subtlety 
Stephanie, who made cherry trees bloom out of season 
the autocrat, Baroness Paigan Crawford, who gave me support, encouragement, and 
fthe reedom to create 
Lord Erec L'clair, head of the dayboard team 
Mistress Jessa d'Avondale 
a great team of servers 
Lord Giano, Mistress Catrin von Berlin, and Valoise Armstrong, who have made 
German recipes accessible to those of us who don't read the language 
Lady Anahita al-Qurtubiyya, for the yummy red cabbage redaction

...and the many others who gave advice, offered encouragement, or stopped by to 
lend a hand.  Forgive me if I have forgotten any names.

His Majesty, Gaufred Kelson von Heidelberg, said it best.  When I was called out of 
the kitchen for the traditional toast, he said, "There can't be just one cook!"  He was 
quite correct.  Thank you all.
