Early Week – Anja’s been off on a research kick into ice skates. There are some interesting links and photos below. We don’t have enough ice around here even bother making some, but we’re thinking about getting Brandon or Amor interested.

Cookery – Tuesday was cookie day. Most of what got done was experiments. The marzipan shortbread turned out well, although we’re going to try stamping rather than roll-impressing the cookies. The ones “impressed” with a fork turned out very well, so a stamp will work. The sugar cookies were just sugar cookies. There’s more dough for next week, but we really need a stamp. I put out an announcement on the House Facebook page, hoping that someone will get Reannag Teinne to make us a stamp of the House device.

We’re going on making cookie dough when we have time each day. Some’s getting frozen and we’ll thaw to bake for the feast. Some’s getting baked up now for potluck and the holidays.

A tvarog got set up Wednesday evening to be cooked up on Thursday. Oddly, it didn’t “set” they way it usually does, so Anja cooked it into a scalded milk cheese, instead.

Sewing – More on the collarband. Anja says, “I *thought* I was going to have this done for Investiture…. ”

Collarband as of 12/8/19

…and everything got canceled for the rest of the week. Both Anja and Loren are sick with head colds.

Music – It’s getting to be that time… 

This one is all dance music by Susato, from his Danserye, played by the Camerata Hungarica

This one was found by Isobel, one of the Starfollower Consort members from way back.
