Final Post (Major Changes)

Image
This will (perhaps) be the final post on this blog.  I have not posted for 20 months, and life has presented many changes since.  For a while, I was collecting items to update the blog, but never found the time to sit down and DO IT.  Then, last October at the Principality of Cynagua Fall Coronet, everything changed.  To my surprise, I was offered admittance to the Order of the Laurel.  I thought I was still years away from even being considered.  So, I was just doing what I enjoyed and didn't worry about it.  This is the post I made to Facebook after we returned home from Coronet:   "Burn old wood, read old books, drink old wines, have old friends" ----- Alfonso X, King of Castile, Leon, and Galicia (1252-84) We just got home from an amazing weekend at the Principality of Cynagua Coronet Tournament.

It got me thinking, "Could this be applied to period food?" Specifically, bigger cuts of meat that would be cooked in fireplaces or an oven. Also, open fire is a particular danger and is mostly prohibited at event sites. I don't want to accidentally set CA on fire. A Drum Smoker is fully contained and can be easily shut down. It is al also portable . . . ish. It's large, but can easily put in a trailer along with other SCA camping gear. Friday Night: (Sauce Madame (Whole Chicken with Fruit and Herb Stuffing)) Friday went a bit Sideways. After getting camp set up, I find that I lef...
