[Sca-cooks] The Rock

[Laura C Minnick]

Well, I have been learning to make cheese! My latest batch is a pesto 
gouda, which came out strong, but tasty. (Next time, more basil, less 
garlic!) I made cheese for Egils, and that went over well- some queso 
fresco- one batch with thyme (including the flowers, as it was blooming) 
and one with honey folded in just before pressing.

I've also been playing with bread. In an attempt to make maslin, I've 
been trying different recipes and different grains, and changing up 
rising etc. Mostly, I've been making bread frisbees. Which was ok- 
everyone at Egils said they were very tasty frisbees!

These days I'm reading lots of theology and history of women religious 
in the 8th c, but I'm also planning another bunch of recipe testing, as 
soon as the weather has cooled off for real.

Oh- and not necessarily useful for events, but mussels, shrimp, and 
scallops, cooked in butter, beer, and garlic, with basil, spinach, fresh 
tomatoes and lemons, garnished with capers and served with hunks of 
French bread- OMG. OMG. OMG. Especially with a bottle of sparkling 
white. OMG.

But the SCA Cooks Facebook group is not much like this list used to be. i miss the long, thoughtful, and sometimes silly conversations we have had here. The sharing of recipes that are not hidden by the word "More".
