<<< in a bit of crossover between my discipline and yours...i found an  
illuminated page from Gaston Phoebus' Livre de Chasse that shows a  
dinner service being done, and the interesting thing that i'd like to  
share with you is the vessels in the water... considering that Gaston  
lived in Foix near the Alps, --period refrigeration???!

Thanks for sending this.

We've discussed this a little bit before, but I don't remember any  
graphical evidence of using creeks for cooling. Probably good source  
for info on "picnic feasts" or "garden feasts" as well.

For some previous discussions on this and similar topics such as ice  
houses and iced drinks and desserts:
p-cold-treats-msg (18K)  5/13/08  Period cold or frozen foods eaten in  
period.

Of course most of this wasn't common. Here another file on unusual  
period ways of heating foods:
no-fire-cook-msg  (14K)  6/ 9/00  Period no-fire and solar cooking.

One of the best written and most sensible and most moving short essays
I've read in a long while.

Thank you, Hrothny.

I forgot to address this

> Has the number of handicapped folks at Pennsic taken a sudden leap upward?


Oh yes. Majorly. And often, now, it's not so much someone with mobility
issues as it can frequently be someone who expects a ride for themselves and
their battery (for a CPAP machine) to and from the charging station. I
cannot even estimate how many folks are now using one of those. Our
electrical needs at the charging station has (I believe, going from memory
of last year) doubled and even that wasn't enough.

As a Society, we're aging. And yet we all still love Pennsic enough to
continue attending. But how many of us, now, out of the SCA population have
no problems walking long distances over uneven ground? And in the way of
things, the campground itself has gotten larger, while our instructors for
University (for example) are older than they once were and at the same time,
are able to offer classes that require more than a sheet of paper and paying
attention.

If I were able to, which I assure you I am not, I'd see about renting one of
those tram-things specifically for the University - and schedule trips to
pick up (pre-signed up) instructors every two or three hours, each day until
the last class time. Specifically for instructors only, controlled by the
University chancellor, and rented *only* for the days when it is open. And
if I could even come close to arranging such a thing, I'd work on some sort
of fundraising effort so its funds would not be dependent on the event
budget.
