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

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise:

Cute idea, but I'm pretty sure this isn't as easy as it was in the 
15th century... ;-)

>I'm doing this dayboard. The theme of the event is Viking era Rus. I've

>there's not much out there to find. :)

>What I really want to do is two soups and a variety of little snacky

>However, I may be either not using period recipes, using adapted recipes
>(like the pears with cucumbers and figs by Woys Weaver), or adapting

>I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I'll print out a little handout that says

If the event is in the East, you can talk to Thora Sharptooth about 
having a little rubber stamp made with her likeness or sign imprinted 
therein...
