[Sca-cooks] New email list for frugality in the SCA

[Sharon Gordon]

A new list has been started for people to share tips for being frugal in the SCA.  Many members start out playing on a shoestring, and perhaps needing to make that shoestring once they find out if their persona even had shoestrings :-)   So a new email list has been started for people to share frugal tips.

Are you one of the people who can 
* Create garb for  under $8
*Feed members of your barony a delicious stew and homemade bread for under $1 a person
* Participate in the spectacular garb for $25 or less contests
*Make armour out of scrounged metal
*Dye yarn or cloth from things in your garden
*Sheer a sheep and turn it into a shawl with the help of your friends in one weekend
*Cook a multi course feast for under 5 Euros that even the Queen (of any period) would be dazzled by
*Make beautiful turned bowls out of downed trees
*Amuse children for hours with a few versatile toys
*Grow a herb garden from cuttings and divisions
*Make scented soaps or healing salves from garden ingredients
*Create camp furniture that looks like the furniture in paintings
*Make your own scribal pigments
*Tabletweave your own trim
*Smith some tools or cooking utensils into existence
*Run a fablous fun event that adds to coffers and to people's skills when all is said and done
*Create simple musical instruments
*Go into the forest with some cutting utensils and create your own bow and arrows
*Create an oven from Pennsic clay
*Build a good cooking fire
