[Sca-cooks] Welcome back, Akim

Akim Yaroslavich commented:
  <<< I agree that 5 courses at once is a bit extreme to expect  
adequate room
at table to be reasonable.  However, I do like being served with
uncarved joints and birds at table.  It is always good in the SCA
to become knowledgeable of the art of carving gracefully.  It is
particularly gratifying to be able to perform such a companionable
service to friends at feasts. >>>

Welcome back, Akim! As with Olwen it is wonderful to see you here again.

For those that have joined this list recently, Baron Akim was an  
active participant on this list several years ago. Then he could read  
the list, but not post for some reason.

Akim is a wonderful resource for info on medieval fruits. For  
instance, this article in the FOOD-FRUITS section of the Florilegium  
is one of his:
Period-Fruit-art  (60K)  1/13/02    "Fruit of Period Times" by Baron
                                        Akim Yaroslavich.

Several years ago Akim started a medieval site called the Cumberland  
Centre. I've lost touch these last few years with just what the  
status of the site is, so Akim, I'd love to hear about what has been  
going on there. For at least several years I remember that he was  
welcoming folks to stop by on the way to Gulf Wars. Unfortunately for  
us, we are coming from the west and the Cumberland Centre is east of  
Gulf Wars. I, for one, appreciate the generosity and hospitality though.

Also Akim, have you finally managed to eat your way through that  
stash of supplies you created for the expected Y2K disaster? :-)

Again, welcome back.
