[Sca-cooks] Re: Coronation Laurels

It was my great honor to provide the sideboard for Mistress Brighid,
whom I have known and respected for so long...

In our Barony of Settmour Swamp she is known, adored and respected by all for
her cooking and bardic talents as well as her dedication and support of the
populace. And for her peach pits.

To me, and many others in the Swamp, she's just Bridgid. We love her because of
who she is, not necessary for what she has accomplished. To see the respect and
admiration from her Known World cooking peers regarding her talents and
scholarly accomplishments is an amazing thing. To be held in such high regard
for both who you are and what you have done is a rare thing, and that is
Brighid.

Also I would like to thank Phlip, who was my cohort in planning this surprise,
for her advice and help. And a big thank you to everyone who
contributed to the sideboard, which included Phlip, Olwen, Johnnae, Baroness
Merlinia and Erec l'Claire.

And congratulations to Jadwiga as well!!!

:)
Elisabetta
