House Capuchin Shield2Anja and Loren have been busy with their shop this week. Project Day was a relief, although Anja was supposed to be teaching and that didn’t quite work, so the class is rescheduled for April 11.

We’re still trying to figure out in-person things. It’s probably all going to wait until

Filled seamed

everyone’s had their shots. 

Potluck this coming week! Whatcha makin’? We’re thinking to try Volker Bach’s pears (below in cookery) along with more usual things. 

All meetings are on hold for the moment, although Project Day and the Monthly Potluck are being held in the Virtual Realm. We’re also doing mini-potlucks, just Anja & Loren and one other “pod” at a time. Let us know if you’re interested!

  • Herb Bunch – At Ancient Light, Saturdays, 11am-1pm
  • Sewing Time – At Ancient Light, Saturdays, 3-5pm
  • Project Day – At Ancient Light, Sundays, Noon to 6pm
  • Cheese and Wine happens irregularly, usually announced with little notice on our Facebook group.
  • Next Virtual Potluck – 3/21, 4/18, 5/16, 6/20

Misc – Pillars of the SCA (Vesta’s Song) – Christina Moroney – “This is a song I wrote about Her Awesomeness, the Supreme Shenanigator, Vestia Antonia Aurelia. It is a filk of “Modern Major General” from Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. Enjoy!”

Dance Vids –

Kings & Beggars – Vittrad – Kings & Beggars – The girls are dancing norwegian roundelay.

Classes – 

The English Reformation – Royal University of the Midrealm – RUM – Dame Elizabeth Alles discusses the English Reformation. Learn the basics of the English Reformation: the timeline, politics, major players, and what differentiates it from the the Reformation on the continent.

Sleighs, Sledges and Sleds – Royal University of the Midrealm – RUM – Lady Kathleen Redrider discusses sleighs, sledges, and sleds, along with details on how they were used, and games that could be run while driving and riding them.

Ladies Luxury Travel Wagons – Royal University of the Midrealm – RUM – Lady Rachael of Bhakail discusses travel wagons from the SCA time period.

Cookery – We cracked open the utopenci on Tuesday and started eating them. They weren’t quite as spicy as usual, although I think the only horseradish in them this time was the powdered stuff in the broth, not nearly as “hot” as the root. A vegetable soup happened on Friday. Marionberry pie happened for Pi Day. 

Volker Bach – More experiments this weekend, again from the Mittelniederdeutsches Kochbuch:

95 Item if you would make pears, take them and cut the pears off above (cut off the tops). Cut out the core and throw it away. And pound the other with fat meat. And take (add) egg yolk and spices and salt. Fill that back into the pears. And set them in the embers and let them roast.

Candied Fruit Peels – a Medieval recipe from 1393 – Nick Saint-Erne – A recipe from 1393 for making candied orange peels using honey, from Le Menagerie de Paris (The Goodman of Paris). Modern recipes mostly use sugar to make candied citrus peels, but sugar in the Middle Ages was imported into Europe, so it was expensive and honey could be procured locally. The candied orange peel can be used to flavor sauces and desserts, or just nibbled on like candy.

Sewing – Finishing touches for some pieces of the sewing kit happened. The mistake in the ripper case got picked out and more of the embroidery finished. A pouch to hold things is now in process, as well.

Project Day – Right at the last second Disa had to bow out of doing the class today. She got her COVID shot yesterday and was feeling pretty bad. <sigh> 

So talking online was the big thing for awhile. The template was being futzed with by Facebook, too. Arlys was also fighting Facebook trying to get a new page up. She did post her little lion, earlier. 

Helen was working drafting a pattern. 

Michelle Crocker posted two pix of an underdress.

A look back at the Gross Project of 2014 – The House members challenged ourselves to make at least 144 pieces of largesse! This was 168….

…and well received. We won the prize and the Princess honored us with a bunch of goodies.
