[Sca-cooks] where do I buy an indulgence for SCA-Cooks

I know that I can get an indulgence from the Vatican for committing a 
sin in advance-- but how do I get forgiveness in advance for committing 
a sin against SCA Cooks?

I'm doing this dayboard. The theme of the event is Viking era Rus. I've 
put some time into researching this, though not much. As we all know, 
there's not much out there to find. :) 

What I really want to do is two soups and a variety of little snacky 
things. (Yes, I know that the notion of zakuski is 19th century in 
origin... but putting little plates of things out for visitors is at 
least mentioned in the Domostroi).

However, I may be either not using period recipes, using adapted recipes 
(like the pears with cucumbers and figs by Woys Weaver), or adapting 
recipes myself-- such as making onion sops with beer instead of wine, 
and possibly without milk...

I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I'll print out a little handout that says 
which is which! But I can't really see any other way to do it, without 
working my fingers to the bone and/or going over budget...
