[Sca-cooks] On-line Pennsic Pity Party

[Huette von Ahrens]

That is probably true, but only because we don't have the servants that
the nobility had when they went "camping".  I would be very happy if all
I had to do was show up and look elegant, while all of my servants transported
all the the gear, set up the pavilion, set up all the encampment, cooked the
food, heated the bath water, etc., so that I and my guests could ride up,
be waited on hand and foot and complain about the rigors of camping with
my guests...  *That* would be the epitome of period camping to me!

Remember that while money talks, chocolate sings.
