Hello, folks!
Alden and I would like to volunteer our house once a month, for an open
library/project night and period meal.  Our library is moderately extensive
(*g*) on most SCA subjects.  It will need to be on a Thursday. Which
Thursday of the month would vary depending on Rolanda's work schedule; she
has some Fridays off.  If she has to work on Friday, everyone would have to
leave at 8:45 (and we know some people won't get here until 8:30 *g*.) We
will post the date by the beginning of each month.
If people are interested, we have a good selection of cook books of the
period, many of which have recipes we haven't made yet. We could either have
a potluck, with everyone trying to bring a period (or close to period dish);
or we could post a menu and list of ingredients, with everyone bringing
ingredients; or people can chip in to defray costs.  If you have a recipe
you want to redact (translate), or just one you want to try out; bring it
over and we can give it a try.  This is a great way to do feast research!

Here are a few of the cooking references that we own, along with a favorite
recipe from each (let us know if any appeal):
Take a Thousand Eggs or More ("kede rosted"...anyone have a cabrito to
spare?)
7 Cent. of English Cooking (apple and pear tart)
Christmas in Shakespeare's England ("receipt for a bean cake")
Dagger Lickin' Good (garlic shrimp)
How to Cook Forsoothly (best salad dressing in the whole world)
To the King's Taste ("Little Tarts"-"won tons" with spiced pork and
currants)
To the Queen's Taste (Turnips stuffed with Apples)
Sallets, Humbles & Shrewsbery Cakes ("To fry an Egge as round as a ball")
The Medieval Cookbook ("Losynes", a great period lasagna)
A Taste of Ancient Rome (wonderful variations on garum..If you want to know
what garum is; ask)
The Fruit, Herbs and Vegetables of Italy (about a 100 pages of vegetable and
fruit recipes)
Pleyn Delit ("Mushroom Pasties")

We also have a fairly large selelction of references on sewing and
costuming, armor & weapons, martial activities, several "hard" arts,
heraldry, period biographies, bardic references, equestrian arts,
calligraphy, and other stuff.

The idea is to come, bring a project (or an idea) to work on (or research),
eat some good food, and have a good time!

Period clothing is optional.

If you have pet allergies, we have dogs and ferrets. We live on the north
side of Temple.

So....does anyone like the idea?

Rolanda and Alden
