You were busy at the time, but when we did the Viking Twelfth Night, I
served a vat of hot rice pudding, basically short-grained rice cooked slowly
to thickness in milk and sugar, with one almond for good luck to the
recipient and lovely preserved lingonberries on the side.

A young Swedish lady said it was exactly the same as that served in her
family all her life and gave me a bone ring off her milk-white hand.  I
value that precious gift above all my SCA Awards.
