> I am proud to announce that yesterday at Harvest Days in the 
> Canton of Winged Hills (Midrealm), my apprentice Giles fitz Alan 
> was placed on vigil and elevated to the order of the Laurel for 
> cooking, preserving and cheesemaking.  I'm a very proud Mum.   I 
> also had the honor of seeing a member of my Barony (Konrad 
> Mailander) raised to the order of the Pelican.  
> The vigil hospitality tent and tables were loaned to us by Master 
> Phil the Pilgrim. The vigil luncheon was shared between the two 
> vigilants (because there is only one of me).   Many people worked 
> hard to present some of the best food seen on a vigil table for a 
> long time.   In no particular order below the dishes provided (to 
> the best of my recollection) and the persons providing them were: 
> Master Giles fitz Alan - Five types of cheese, salt pork, salted 
> and smoked beef, sauerkraut, Lombard mustard (he was conned into 
> providing food for his own vigil, under the guise of helping me 
> with Konrads). 
> Lady Faolainn - Pirozchis - a meat stuffed pastry
> Mistress Hauviette d'Anjou - Hungarian apple tart from Rumpolt, a 
> cabbage dish from Rumpolt 
> Lady Aasa - nut rolls from Welserin, cucumber salad from Welserin 
> Master Llewellyn - Cold spiced pork
> THL Wulfwen atte Belle - White head salad, rumpolt (?)
> THL Avelyn Grene - Strawberry tart (rumpolt) with wafers and snowe
> Mistress Helewyse de Birkestad - Bratwurst from Welserin, 
> sauerkraut, bread rolls, rice tart (from 16th C england)
> Each vigilant recieved well over 40 visitors each, the management 
> of the lists and tables would not have been possible without the 
> help of Lady Cerridwen verch Ioreword, Faolainn, House von 
> Brandenburg, and gentles from the Barony of Brendoken.  
> My eternal thanks to all who assisted with the set up, tear down, 
> maintenance and running of the vigil tents.  And to all those who 
> helped, processed and made the whole day work.

> Happy happy Mum, 
> Helewyse de Birkestad, OL, Baroness of Red Spears.
