House Capuchin Shield2Discovered that we have our monthly potluck set for Eclipsapocalypse Weekend. Uh, no…. putting it off to 8/27! Also, no Herbs or Sewing on Saturday 8/19 or Project Day on Sunday 8/20. Not *even* going to try! So the only meetings this week are Cheese and Wine on Monday evening, (going to make Schizz again) and Thursday’s Sewing.

The final set

The week was quiet progress, but ended with an awesomely productive Herbs Workshop and then a *fun* project day with extra people! Marcus stopped by and dropped off Loren’s armor and some other things.

Early Week – We got pix from Jay from last Saturday!

Arlys and Anja talked about the inkle loom we’re making for her, and various folks chimed in on the feast, asking about the menu, giving suggestions, asking for invites.

Sewing Time – Thursday …was Loren, Amy and Anja. Pincushions happened, which were mailed on Friday, then more pincushions happened and a needle blank.

Sewing Time – Saturday – …was just Anja, talking with this person and that person and working on pincushions. 🙂

Herb Bunch – Early in the week some harvesting got done and then on Saturday we got serious about it. Anja was planning on making some herb and cheese biscuits, so she got a lot of snips and bits for that, plus pulled 2 shallots, one of which got separated into 3 and then replanted. She also harvested the garlics, replanted the small bulbs, thinned the radishes and collected some greens from that. She discovered more bulblets once at the shop, so those went back into the ground Saturday evening.

Once we were at the shop, Loren spent some time washing the harvested herbs while Anja and the Herb Bunch sorted, prepped and chopped, ending up with two cups of herbs. We ended up putting one cup into a bread loaf instead of biscuits and the other cupful in with barley for a pottage.

That’s the crumb of the bread with 1 cup of chopped herbs and 1/2 a cup of cheese added. It was delicious!

Pottage and bread herbs

More herbs – We got a lot done!

Project Day – …was just awesome even if we didn’t get a lot done!

Amy brought a wonderful trail mix for a snack and we made great inroads into it. Stella got to stop by on her way to the Blues Jam and told us about her visit with her Mom and we talked Feast entertainment and got her caught up on news from the last few weeks.

Anja was sewing by then and kept pecking away for the next 4 or 5 hours while Loren tended the shop.

A couple came in who turned out to be SCA from Stromgard and stayed for the rest of the afternoon, talking and discussing history, food and other things. We’ve invited them to the feast, too. Loren was working on his catapult, but we were having so much fun talking that no pictures happened but one!
