House Capuchin Shield2

Congratulations to Tymberhavene for winning the Tain Bo Cattle Raid, and I understand that it’s thanks to Jerrick (Seamus’ kiddo)! …and apparently a couple of other branches decided to donate their coins to the effort, so that the victor would be from the Summits. 🙂

Pear cordial with more pears added and flipped.

Estella is home and recuperated enough to put up an occasional Facebook post!

Potluck is this coming Sunday. Whatcha bringin’? Louisa is so up-to-her-eyeballs in Egil’s things that she hasn’t been able to put any more in for the feast. Anja’s trying to work on a test dish, still, but there are pickles and cheeses, probably potted ham and pickled eggs, and always Loren’s good bread. We still have containers of the leftovers soup from this past feast, too, in the freezer, so there will be plenty. If you want to do a test recipe, let Anja know!

Hanging to drip out. You can see on drop just leaving the bag.

Early Week – Anja spent some time translating on Monday, the Cuncti Simus Concanentes. Of course, we were putting things away and cleaning up a bit. That seems like every Monday, whether or not we’ve been doing cookery.

Gogor checked in. He found an interesting report on a Russian restaurant that’s doing “traditional” foods, with a twist. I found the part about the sea berry really interesting. Link is below.

Gudrun checked in, as well. She’s working on outfits and doing interviews, since she can’t go to school this quarter. We facebook chatted all the way to one interview and back, since she was on the bus.

Embroidery and foodly things as usual….

Ingredients for pickle broth

Cookery – Pickles were on this week’s list. A new pickling broth got made on Tuesday. On Wednesday we sorted what we have so’s to make sure they get eaten. On Thursday, with many of the jars washed, we did some bean pickles and a dilly bean for consumption and the next potluck. Not many pictures because we’ve done so many of both!

Pear cordial with more pears added and flipped.

The cordials are being flipped twice a day. Rum got added to the pear (since there wasn’t enough liquid) on Tuesday.

Mushroom catsup was worked on Friday-Sunday (will finish on Monday). Red bean pickles got set up on Sunday, along with dill seed being added to the dilly beans and the dehydrator going on the mushroom spice. We didn’t get to the scalded milk cheese that will be pressed in the mold after being spiced. (dill/shallot/onion).

Anja’s going to put in some concentrated time in this coming week on test foods for the feast. Louisa hasn’t had time, but after the Egil’s stuff is over they’ll start collaborating again. Mostly Anja needs to get the sources organized and then start finding things to try…. or rather whittling down to the list to something manageable!

Sewing – Anja finally did another increment on the little green pouches on Tuesday.

On Friday Aesa came out from Alsea to use the sewing machine. …but she had to start with more ripping and interesting noises… 🙂 Anja worked on her birth sampler and then on photos

Starting to fill in the critters. Look top left.

and newsletter stuff once Aesa went in back to use the sewing machine. We all trooped down to watch the sunset…and then Aesa needed to be bailed out on the cuffs, which Anja promptly sewed on backwards and had to fix and then Aesa wandered around the shop in dread of having to pin on her trim. 🙂 That finally got done and she headed back to Alsea.

During the Saturday workshop Anja kept working on her birth sampler. She’s adding the “critters”, now. She also ended up doing a basic blackwork class for a customer. That was all she managed to work on Sunday as well.

Sundials, etc. – Loren got some of Anja’s peach pits for peach pit baskets drilled. One of them broke in the process, but should stay whole enough to be carved, with any luck. (Pic below)

It’s going. More pix next week.

Herb Bunch – Friday evening we started the mushrooms for a batch of mushroom catsup. During the workshop time we added the spices and discussed the recipe and why it fell from favor once steam pressure canning started getting used. We also bagged lavendar, sage and holly leaves.

Window plants got turned, later in the day. Some are sunburning and drying up from the extra light, so on Sunday Anja and Loren spent a long while cleaning up dead leaves and foliage and moving some more plants.

Project Day – Started a bit late. Anja was hunting music on the computer when Amy got there. Amy brought some lucet cords for largesse and we sat and talked awhile. Anja was embroidering. A plate got wood-buttered. Plants (see above) got done next. Some cookery happened in the evening.

Miscellaneous pix

Music

Lurpakket is apparently a Danish group. Their recordings are about half Renn Dance music, but with vocals as well as instruments and half various medieval & Renn songs. I’ve put together a playlist. On the live ones their sound quality isn’t the best.

An interesting one that isn’t dance music. – Lurpakket – Cuncti Simus Concanentes, Midvinterfestival 2008 – Published on Feb 16, 2008 – Optræden af Lurpakket til Midvinterfestival i Den Grå Hal på Christiania, lørdag den 16. februar, 2008.
