[Spit-Project] How about some discussion?

[Erin Cabana]

Hello!

I am one of those dreaded newbies. My name is Erin, nickname Ari (too much DnD in college) and I don't have an SCA name yet. I'm going to pensic this summer. I have a degree in Medieval Studies , and have researched medieval recipes, but I have not yet cooked any. My eventual goal is to be able to do period cooking both at home and at SCA events.    

So, what I need to know is where to start. I'm going to be taking as many classes at Pensic as I can, but I am very open to advise!

Cheers!

Erin

Since we obviously have some new folks on this list, it sure would be great if there could also be some discussion now and then.  I know Pennsic looms upon the horizon (very quickly, I might add <sigh>), but surely some folks besides Phlip and Stefan and Johnnae can have things to talk about (she says with a hopeful smile).

Quite a few folks asked to join the Yahoo group recently after discussion there about cooking with pottery over a live fire was started... and someone very nicely recommended they join the Yahoo group.  I did mention that the discussions were all held here... but it has been so quiet of late I'm sure folks wonder if the list still works <wry grin>.

I was hoping to be able to do cooking at Pennsic this year, but our encampment is so tight that we probably won't be able to have a regular fire pit, just one of those mundane round portable ones.... mostly because I missed the pre-registration date and we lost that amount of land <sigh>.

So, do others who are going to Pennsic have any cooking plans (besides Phlip's camp, that is)?
