An historical recreation household centered on the Central Oregon Coast (households are not official groups of the Society for Creative Anachronism and do not represent the views or policies of SCA, Inc. )
We had a productive week, with pouches and pincushions and needles getting steadily finished. Anja never did find a ride to War in the Trees, but it turned into Water Ballet in the Trees (according to Geoffrey the Rogue) and just a very, very soggy event, with lots of folks heading home early and having to dry things out.
Tuesday Anja and Loren are heading in to Couer de Val to drop off the stick horses so they’ll get to Investiture, since Anja has no ride to that. We’re going to try again on Wednesday for Cheese and then the rest of the weekly meetings will go on as usual.
Sewing Night – At Ancient Light, Thursdays, 6-8pm
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 & Wine – Next one on 6/14. Watch the schedule or the Facebook group! This is going to be irregularly scheduled for when tasks need to occur.
Early Week – …started with Anja finishing cutting out the fabrics for the project that she did the embroidery for last week. It’s eventually going to be one of her embroidery patterns from Mab’s Creations, but this version is going for an SCA gift exchange. (pix below) She also worked on a pouch that got started awhile back. Loren kept working on needles and finished one on Tuesday.
Cheese and Wine Workshop – …was supposed to happen Wednesday evening, but it got later and later and no one showed up, so Loren and Anja decided to skip it to next week.
Sewing Time – …was Anja, Loren and Amy. Amy started a pincushion. Anja is still sewing things up, mostly working on her apron, but also on a pouch that was driving her mad. It’s done now, so she can go back to the normal level of insanity…
Pouch
Gift exchange piece
Two pincushions, the floral one stitched by Amy, partly done.
Then on Saturday it was time to make pouches. Anja worked on a new blackwork pattern in between sorting out the pouch-making process. We really whomped through a lot. We’ve got some pouches to block-print again!
New blackwork biscornu pattern
Anja with the heap
The finished heap – 25 pouches for block-printing
Project Day
Anja started the day finished up the pouches that got started on Sunday. Loren finished one needle and started another. Then Stella got there and we got her sunhat be-ribboned so she wouldn’t scorch in the sun, losing it to the local wind. Anja got some measurements for her so she could use the smock generator. After that we all sat and talked and worked for quite a while, working on pincushions and pouches and bone needles. The pouches got finished right at the end of the day when Amy got there.
6 finished pincushions, one, previously done and one still needing the “dimple” (we need a longer needle)
Some of Anja’s blackwork
The gift thing, still needs filled, but we’re out of filling!
ASLII = 111 plus 4 sewing box (in process), varnished stuff (124), 1 pouch, 6 stick horses, 1 embroidered pouch, 6 pincushions, 25 pouches for block-printing
Total as a Household = 3470 handed off

Egil’s report from Stella – How I spent my Memorial Weekend. Egils 43.
052817 Diana Tripp Brazil Tjorkiljpg
Easy travels, came in and found a good camp place fairly quickly. How fortunate! The good people at The Gate were sorting out the usual… one woman seemed a little faint and flushed from the heat as I was greeted in, so when I got my camp roughed out, I went back to Gate to lend a hand. I was given what seemed to be an almost silly task– folding the voluminous program schedules*. However, apparently it was appreciated and a needful tiny project. Lesson: Create small tasks so that everyone can participate and enjoy the satisfaction of contributing to the Event. Conversely, don’t be afraid to ask TO help– who knows that a small favour might benefit new friends.

I also went back to Gate because, as per instructions, I had left there the packages which House Capuchin assigned to me to be delivered. I was a little concerned about the cold-package of vittles for vigils, because I had no idea where its destination was located. However, just as I was explaining to the new Gateperson why I was poking around the packages, up bounded a big healthy enthusiastic lad from the very vigils camp, so he relieved us of the heavy load. The other package recipient was known by some at Gate, and so I trust that package was properly received as well.
*I rather liked the voluminous program “Book” –it was small-print, so there was a lot of good information and insight about Tournaments and general SCA knowledge. Oddly, although maybe there was meant to be, there was no map, which would have helped a lot, maybe a simplified version of the events area on the online map at http://adiantum.antir.sca.org/…/up…/2017/05/Egils-43-Map.pdf
052817 Diana Tripp Brazil Styrkarr
I stayed at Gate awhile with Forest [?] and Moira [? my spelling of names is probably incorrect] partly because it was close to Field, and partly because it’s fun to watch people come in to The Gathering, new and old Family.
I walked around Camp for awhile, watched a little Beat-And-Greet… after all, like the Book says regarding the Egil Skallagrimsson Memorial Tournament on Sunday morning –“The reason we’re all here.” Ahhh… the smell of wet leather and sweat-soaked quilting and the sound of heavy blows and the ensuing grunts.
I wanted to watch some of the archery, too, but I know to pace myself, so I wisely went back to my camp to eat some cold Zucchini Squares and dense, moist Banana Bread –both made with green butter. Corn chips and cold raw zucchini slices. Swiss cheese. That’s all I ate all weekend, and it was excellent. [EXCEPT Sunday morning when I had a $5 plate of superb biscuits & gravy at McLavender’s cafe – good and reasonable.] I had a tot of rum and laid down early to a long quiet sleep. I had thought I wanted to be in Noisy Camp, but ya know… something to be said about peace and quiet, too.
Seamus in the now-famous nightshirt getting his Mano de Oro! From the Court Report “After congratulations to Sverre and Breaca, Their Majesties continued their stroll, and came upon the encampment of Seamus O’Caelligh. Seamus, resplendent in his morning glory, graciously received Their Majesties. Sir Phelan Tolusmidr, in his role as Herald to Their Majesties, delivered words from Dame Cristiana de Huntington, Minister of Arts and Sciences to the Kingdom of An Tir, regarding the many and diverse ways in which Seamus has contributed to the Arts and Sciences in our Kingdom. To quote Dame Cristiana, “He is consistently kind and joyful as he shows An Tir that medieval science is truly sexy.” Their Majesties confirmed these words by awarding Seamus the Mano d’Oro. All present cheered as Seamus, confidently beaming as his knees winked from beneath his nightshirt, gladly accepted this honor.”
Saturday, my first “mission” was to deliver a hand-made and blackwork embroidered pincushion to the Silent Auction before 10am – yikes! That’s early for me! Mission accomplished, with surprising ease. Then I walked around the merchants circle and spoke with some of the craftspeople. I was amazed at the reasonable prices being asked for amazing workmanship. I went to Gate for awhile and helped Xenos [?] by folding Books again – he took the time to teach me more about SCA traditions such as Three Pillars. Of course, when I heard the loud blows and grunts beginning from the Field, I excused myself and went to enjoy Holmgang armored fighting. Heavy chalk circle drawn on ground. “Pretend you’re fighting on an ice flow. You fall off, you die…”
Also watched some rapier action. Here’s where women seem to have an advantage – sprightly and intuitive can be more effective in this sport. Rapier is more dance-like, whereas the armored fighting is more brutal and intense. That being said, it sure was fun to cheer Vesta in the brutal-intense realm where she shines.
I never made it to any classes all weekend, my loss. There was so much to take in! Even studying peoples’ garb as they walked around was educational. Also, with no map it was less clear where classes were held and if at the time they were held, they were full, open, pay, free, pre-register, etc. even with the Book. Also I’m lazy. This Egils felt more like summer vacation than school.
I was able to discern where to work at Egils next time, where my talents will serve. Had I known I would be in shade in camp, I would have brought my guitar. I reconnoitered several places where a busker might serve very well!
With the award, but now properly dressed
Saturday afternoon I went back to my camp to rest for Court – and The Night. Court was beautiful and came to me. I was standing in the shade of a side pavilion towards the back of the Field to watch the proceedings, when Court suddenly realized that the Sun was all wrong. Heads will roll, I’m sure. Populace was solicited to physically move the 8-pole assembled pavilion and all its thrones and accoutrements to the other end of the Field, and suddenly I found myself “in the wings” where I could stand quietly unseen and yet see and hear up close and personal. It was a bold and brilliant decision, because now Royalty – and populace — were more comfortably in the shade of this late afternoon. Court was beautiful and made me get a tear or two in my eye – who doesn’t like to see the deserving receive their just awards?

Saturday Night. I am going to wander like The Lost and see where it gets me. Well, not far – K- Camp. Earlier in the day, I had crossed paths with brother Marcus from House Capuchin, and his pavilion was near the Trail which I was using to go to and from my camp. He mentioned that his neighbors were kind of rowdy. Perfect. When I went to their camp and introduced myself, I felt Camp-Mom and I were going to get along juuuust fine. And so it was. She was being responsible for children in camp and therefore politely declined the rum I offered — but there were other takers. So I sat around their fire, enjoying some truly unique conversation. And rum. There was lots of discussion about SeaDogs Nights and Gypsy Carnival. I am invited to camp with them. There are requirements to join this camp, of course, one being to construct a spork. www.seadognights.com
Francesca and Idonia working with fiber
It was mentioned, almost as a dare, that Heresy Camp [graphically explained] was nearly next door down the path, but it was too quiet down there for some reason. If I’m going to <gulp> experience Heresy Camp, I want the whole lively blasphemous package, not some passed-out dregs. I accomplished what I set out to do – drank some rum and boasted some boasts with new friends around the fire, and made it safely back to my camp – intact – in the early hours of Sunday morn…
Tired fighter
Sunday morning, the Egil Skallagrimsson Memorial Tournament –“The reason we’re all here.” Amazing as usual, the virtual experience – it’s gotta be HOT inside there! and the eternal enjoyment of cheering on the fighters…
oh, I’ll be back!
Alas, the sun reached its zenith and slowly I packed my caravan, bid a fond adieu to the Lords and Ladies, and traveled a safe and pleasant journey back to the sea, and damn glad to be here now, home in my humble home,
with a headful of dreams…

“The text is written in Swedish runes ca 1000, and is inspired by drottkvætt. I believe I’ve gotten closer to the form this time.”
‘This stone was raised at Egils 43.
Dwarf named was Sir Durin
Deep thinking, kind leader.
Tjorkills kin, thane times four
Tree of battle stands fast.
Always Summits servant
Seeks secret mighty deeds.
But now all know, all see
Even kings sing of his works.
Swan of thorn’s sweat tells of
Thingsteads keeper, Egils ward.
Horns raised honor hall host,
Holmgang’s master, kings voice.
Styrkarr King, gold giver
Grants an honor long earned.
Stjarna Queen, dread dancer,
Deems Durin Pelican indeed.

Early Week
Whew! Other than some inspired cussing at eyes that were not interested in staying on the stick horses, things were quiet. A cheese got made on Wednesday and fried up with some sauerkraut on Thursday, which is a dish Anja remembers her grandmother making. We heard back on the Egil’s foods and they mostly got eaten and the quantities were pretty good. We supplied about 20% of the food for 65 or so people and all but a couple of eggs and a plate of shortbread got eaten, and the rest consumed at breakfast the next day.
Cheese and Wine Workshop – … was on Wednesday evening. We made another recipe of Schizz, since that one’s pretty easy and no one had a lot of ambition. We used lemon and regular thyme, basil and chives in this one. The interesting thing was that a red color cooked out of the basil that left a slight orange tint in the cheese.
Sewing Time – Was just Anja again on
Thursday. She did the channels on a couple of pouches and spent quite a bit of time setting up some new pincushions from a box of supplies sent by Lady Emma. There’s fabric for pouches and sets of things, too! …and then 3 pincushions happened and more got cut. Stella showed up with the rest of the stuff from Egil’s, except for the cold bag which Seamus’ family has. Amy was there for awhile. She’s starting another hat.

Project Day – Was rather quiet. We’re all pretty tired. Stella was at the Pentacoastal Blues Jam again, so it was just Loren, Anja and Amy. We talked about various things that are going on, and a lot about the Winter Feast plans and some about whether to make lances or swords to go with the stick horses.
Stick horses finally happened! …and they’re *very* silly. Food and embroidery and the tourney are this week’s other highlights.
Any info on Egil’s is actually going to be in next week’s newsletter
Mano de Oro
since the event runs into Monday, although we have a few pictures below. A couple of things that we know occurred were that Seamus was given a Mano do Oro, Tryggr was Laureled, Durin was made a Pelican and Andrew a Master of Defense, along with Piaras being given an Honour of the Belated Rose.
Loren
This week’s meetings are at the regular times, although over the following two weeks Herbs and the Saturday Sewing workshop are going to be iffy.
Sewing Night – At Ancient Light, Thursdays, 6-8pm
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 & Wine – Watch the schedule or the Facebook group! This is going to be irregularly scheduled for when tasks need to occur.
Early Week – Anja went a little nuts early in the week, trying to get some stuff made for Tryggr’s vigil. Loren brought her some milk Tuesday evening, so that turned into Schizz, of course. …and shortbread on Wednesday.. and a couple of flavored butters and pickled eggs. That all went to the event, leaving early Friday morning along with the House Banner.

Domostroi (the book Anja was working from)
Herb Bunch – Mostly was processing some more herbs of the same sort that we have been. Later in the day Anja got going on a list of foods from the Domostroi that we’re going to need for the Slavic Feast, that doesn’t seems to exist online. …so now it does…. even incomplete!
Project Day – ….started with Anja discussing Grendal’s Forged in Fire episode with a customer who left with contact info. 🙂 After that she got to work on some more of the foods list and then alternated that with stick horses and came up with a couple of really silly ones. We ended up with 1/2 a dozen when Amy was there (showing off her bear) and Loren was working on the boxes of wooden pieces. Stella got hold of us during the afternoon to let us know she was back and about to work on food and sleep.

When Gogor and I started researching Slavic Foods, everyone referred us to the Domostroi, although there were no lists that I could find online of the foodstuffs… Ok, so now there are! :-)
Page numbers refer to this version – The Domostroi: Rules for Russian Households in the Time of Ivan the Terrible by Carolyn Johnston Pouncy (Editor), Hardcover: 296 pages, Cornell Univ Pr (October 1995), ISBN-10: 0801424100, ISBN-13: 978-0801424106
There are (or will be) three lists here:
The first is foodstuffs arranged by type
The 2nd is alphabetical
The 3rd is the whole list.
This is as correct as I could get it in one pass. I’m going to go back at some point and double-check this list. If you find something that I missed, misspelled, a page number that’s not there, comment, please!

Visitors and new folks made it interesting, although otherwise it was quiet this week. We’re down to 4 active members, one of whom is in school. We had a visit from one of the distant members, Anja and Loren’s son, Amor, (who is in the Air Force) and heard from a couple of others who live over in the Valley.
We’re hoping that the sewing kit will get to Egil’s. It was shipped on Friday and the right people have been notified. All the meetings are at regular times this week. Next potluck will be on June 25 because of Investiture.

Sewing Night – At Ancient Light, Thursdays, 6-8pm

One Saturday we got word that the very talented Tryggr Tyresson was put on vigil for Laurel for his marvelous stonework! The elevation will be at Egil’s. (Album below) And Viscount Sir Christian Bane and his Inspiration Viscountess Helene d’Anjou are the new Heirs. Huzzah!
Their Majesties’ remarks before the tourney. 68 entrants!
Early Week
Anja worked on the embroidery for her pincushion kit (pix in Sewing) and started planning some for a pin ball and did some rolled hem research. Loren finished the varnish on the sewing box and Anja got the last trimming done and then it got mailed on Friday. No, the picture will show up *after* Egil’s, not before!
Materials got sorted and put away. Pincushions got cut. Several projects got talked out and some discarded. Materials purchases got budgeted.
Cheese and Wine Workshop – Amor was here for a quick visit. He’s Loren and Anja’s son that’s in the Air Force. He’s moving to Eskalya in Oertha. He wanted to see cheese being made, so that happened Wednesday night and then the cheese got fried on Thursday!
He liked it and took 1/2 with him on the next leg of his trip!
What was even funnier was that his little dog, Pooka, (having had too much cheese earlier in the day) was having all kinds of fun licking everyone’s hands and faces after we had eaten our share!
Sewing Time – Happened 3 times this week! With Amor there, Anja and Loren sat down on Wednesday and all three of them worked on projects. Loren had made a bone needle for Amor and finished up a bamboo case for it. Amor worked on a bowstring. Anja was working on pouches and pincushions and then kept on with those on Thursday during the regular sewing time. Then on Saturday we sat and talked to two new people while Anja was working on the pinball.
Amor’s bowstring – The odd part of this was that when he mis-tied the knot at the other end of the string, it twisted his bow all out of shape, but then he managed to twist it back!

Herb Bunch – …started with sorting some of the dried herbs and labeling things. AFter that we worked on the blossoms from the sweet woodruff plant and talked about coumarin. After the workshop time, Loren got one of the bottles of white wine and we set up a May Wine.

lemon balm
oregano

all done!
Project Day – (Anja) The whole morning was cooking. Loren made bread. I set up a meat pie, then prepped ham including making ham broth that mostly went into a bean soup for the week and then finished up the May Wine, set up the carrots and thawed the butters.

…and then we started realizing that no one was here, so put off baking the pie until later, because the two folks who had definitely said they wanted to be here couldn’t make it until well past 5pm. So we did finally have our feast, but in the early evening. Jeanne got her share, even though she couldn’t join us. 🙂
Anja got some licks in on her pinball, but didn’t finished. She was too busy talking to the new folks!

This has been another quiet week as far as SCA stuff goes. Stella is prepping for Egil’s and really excited. Loren’s been working on some new projects, but nothing he wants to talk about, yet. Anja is sewing.
We were hoping to get to Adiantum A&S this week so we can drop off the prize bundle, but it’s not happening. Cars and finances and such.
Sewing Night – At Ancient Light, Thursdays, 6-8pm
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 & Wine – Watch the Facebook group! This is going to be irregularly scheduled for when tasks need to occur.
Sunday night the report went out early, so some of the evening stuff got put off to here! The wax got another washing (and more during the week) and then Stella stopped by while Anja was starting to make some pincushions for sewing. The next night the ricotta got worked on and just did not work. Later in the week Loren and Anja also froze the beef and pork for the pies for the potluck, knowing that they were going to be baked in another 12 days or so and also prepped and froze some beef for other dishes later in the season, and at the end of the week used the whey and some of the beef in a late period style beef dish, sortof a beef stroganoff, but not as fancy, and it was very tasty.

Sewing Time – Stella and Anja sat and stitched for a couple of hours. Stella was working on crochet. Anja finished the child’s coif that she started last week, then worked on some embroidery and then sewing more pincushions.
Almost finished
Pulled Basting stitched with the “picker”. That’s the needle and spools.

Cheese and Wine Workshop – …got put off to Sunday because of Great Garage Sale stuff and then we realized it was Mother’s Day! Oops!
Project Day – …started with varnishing the prize box, then Anja started working on how to do a Quaker Pin Ball, doing a fair amount of online research. She started a pinball, discovered that what she was doing was inadequate and so Loren went to the hardware store to get some 1 1/4 inch washers and then she got back to work.
Cut
Punched to allow the filling through
…and tried and it didn’t work, cardboard was too big
So….washers
…and done
Amy and Stella arrived at the same moment and we got some pouches made and House business cards to fill them with, and Anja finished her pinball. Stella played for us all the sing, which is fun and we had some folks in that we talked to about the SCA.
After everyone left Anja went back to finishing the gravy for the sour cream beef.

It was fairly quiet this week, although we did get stuff done. Amy has passed her mid-terms. Anja’s been working on blogs and stitchery. Stella’s working on new music and Loren made a bunch of pieces for various projects.
Herbs and Saturday Sewing aren’t going to happen this week. Saturday is Waldport’s Great Garage Sale, so Anja and Loren will be too busy. We’re planning a cheese night during the week, though! (Watch the Facebook group for date/time) The Cheese Ladies are interested in doing the Schiz. 🙂
Sewing Night – At Ancient Light, Thursdays, 6-8pm
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 & Wine – Watch the schedule or the Facebook group! This is going to be irregularly scheduled for when tasks need to occur.
Early Week – Anja spent awhile sorting books in the House library. She also pulled all the stray papers, TI’s, CA’s and all and got them separated. Eventually Loren found some boxes to sort into for those. That’s going to help, we think.
Sewing Time –
…was Stella and Anja. Stella was hemming and Anja first worked on finishing a couple of small pincushions, then stitching on a small coif for largesse, and finally making progress on the embroidery for a large pincushion. Loren fed us fresh bread with butter.
Amy came in for Sewing on Saturday, but Anja got pulled away since one of her suppliers came in with some stones for her stock.
Cheese and Wine Workshop – We found a recipe for Schiz (pronounced Skee, apparently) an Italian cheese that is fried before eating. We had been talking about it all week, but finally managed to get all the pieces together on Friday and started in. It called for heating the milk slowly, and it took 45 minutes to get up to temperature. We added caraway, dill and celery seed to the milk as it warmed.
Starting the milk
1/2 a rennet tablet
Dissolves in 1/2 a cup of water
Stirred
Add rennet mix
Stir gently and cover
Covered
At 8:30 the rennet went in and at 9 went back and checked. No break! …. so heated the milk back up the 5 degrees it had lost and added an 1/2 tab of a different rennet. Kinda crossed our fingers and prayed. 🙂 …`The next time the curd “broke” so went on with cutting the curd, then cooking some more. By 10:30 the curd had cooked and the whey was starting to look right, so we started draining the whey. We had to use two cloths because the cloth we started with was too thick! (The cheesecloth had gone walkabout….again!) …and re-appeared 10 minutes after we had grabbed something else.
No break….
Rennet tab….2nd one
Break? Break!
Cutting the curd
Cooking again
…and cooking
…and done cooking.
By 11, it was all hanging and cooling. By 11:20 it was still dripping, only molded in the cloth like some of the italian cheeses, but it hadn’t been salted, which it didn’t say in the recipe when to do! We broke up the mostly-dripped-out curd, salted, squoze and re-hung and it went into the fridge, along with the re-bottled whey. It was tasty both with and without the salt, but it’s definitely a damp cheese. I see why this one gets sliced and fried. Ricotta from the whey tomorrow!

Anja says, “Sunday evening, I pulled out the cheese, sliced it and then fried some. ….omgs…. I haven’t had fried cheese that good in a long, long time! You can only do that with cheeses that don’t melt. My Baba used to get a cheese with a similar texture from a local Czech butcher shop, but they closed before I was a teenager. I haven’t found any cheese that worked as well until now!” The thing is that the not-expensive American cheese *all* melt. We haven’t been able to afford an artisanal cheese and this qualifies.

Butter in the pan

Frying on the 2nd side
Done. Yummy!
The process was rather similar to this one, except we didn’t press it.
Schiz – NICOLO SANTORIO·TUESDAY, MAY 2, 2017 – Schiz (pronounced “skee”) is a fresh cow’s milk cheese from the Dolomites in Northern Italy. It’s only good for a few days and is fried in a pan before eating, usually served with polenta.
Ingredients:
1 gallon of milk (not ultra-pasteurized)
Liquid rennet (1/4 tsp) or 1/4 tablet.
(optional) Calcium chloride for pasteurized cold stored milk
Tools
Good thermometer.
Large pot
Ladle
Knife or cake spatula to cut the curds
A basket molds or any other good draining mold.
Pour the milk in to the clean pot and heat milk slowly to 96° F (35° C), then take it off the heat source.
Add 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) single strength rennet or ~ 1/4 tablet. Stir for one minute with an up and down motion with the spoon or ladle, then stop the milk moving with a slight back stir.
Put a lid on and leave milk to set for 30 minutes.
Cut the coagulated curd in a grid pattern with your knife, with about 1-2 cm between cuts, keeping the knife vertical. Allow this to set for 2-3 minutes while the whey begins to show in the cuts. Then cut again following the existing cuts, but this time hold the knife at a 45 degree angle. Be gentle so you don’t mash the curds up.
Return to the heat and set to very low, continuing to monitor the temperature so that it doesn’t go above 120°. The total cooking time will be 20-30 minutes. The longer it is cooked, the drier the final cheese will be. The final curds should be cooked well through and should be examined to make sure that enough moisture has been removed. A broken curd should be firm throughout and the curds should have a moderate resistance when pressed between the fingers.
Remove the whey with a ladle to about an inch above the surface of the curds. Leaving a bit of whey for the transfer will help the cheese consolidate.
Transfer the curds to the basket mold and allow the whey to drain. A small amount of weight (1-2 lbs) can help consolidate the curd and produce a slightly drier curd, but this is optional. I use just a bit of hand pressure to consolidate the cheese. Turn the curds as they drain and firm up. Doing this several times during the draining will keep the moisture even.
The draining cheese should be placed in the refrigerator as soon as the whey drainage slows, but with a bowl underneath to collect the small amount of whey that continues to drain. Schiz should be used within a few days at most.
To cook, slice up and fry in a pan with butter and a pinch of salt. Cream can be added. Serve with polenta or wide cut pasta like Pappardelle.
Herb Bunch – Did a little prep during the week of the wax from a local honey supplier. It needed to be melted and heated, drained, strained and melted again in water, repeatedly. We’re not done, even yet. At least it’s fairly simple.
Drain and strain.
Add clean water.
Boil.
Cool overnight.
Repeat.

Next day
Broken up and drained.
Re-boiling
Once the water from step 1 is clear, then the wax chunk gets set aside for aging.
Project Day – We started with digging out the blue velveteen that Anja wants to use for more pincushions and for the inside of the Egil’s prize box. That got cut, plus more for pincushions and maybe a bag, and then Loren spent some time cleaning up the worktable and working in the area around the library.

Anja got going on lining the sewing kit box with the blue velveteen. Once the bottom was in and drying she did a little embroidery and then the back was ready. Loren pulled things out so that we could fry some more cheese and she could show Loren how. …and that was lunch!
Embroidery progress
Schiz fridged overnight. See how the napkin and back of the box are damp?
Lunch! Fried schiz, buttered Loren bread and olives
Between the two of them, they worked on finishing the other pieces of the prize box, which took the rest of the day. Still needs varnished!

Nobody got to go to Birthday Bash! 😦 Well, maybe A&S this week? No? Drattit…. <sigh> Well, we’re just keeping on keeping on with our own projects, then.
Anja’s brother, Iurii, passed the Sergeantry Trials at the Birthday Bash and is now a Yeoman of Adiantium! Congratulations!
We did hear from Sabrina this week. She’s still doing her weaving in her new shop in Newport. We get to see each other online, only, because of schedules, but she’s going to try to get us some pictures of her weaving, soon.

Early Week – Not much was going on other than ongoing projects. Apparently Dollar Stores have pool noodle again, so Anja started talking to folks about stickhorse and lance toys for largesse. (pix below)
Sewing Time – …was just Anja this week. She spent the time cutting out pincushions which then got filled and sewn on Saturday.
7 cut – biscornu and pillows

Anja filled and finished the pillow and the biscornu on Sunday.
Project Day – Was short because Loren, Stella and Anja were packing for a non-House event and had to leave right at the end of our time, so we didn’t get to hang out and talk late. We discussed some House issues and what all is going on in the Knowne World. These are the only pix of work, mostly it was ribbons being added to cushions and Anja started one more.
One previously made that got a ribbon
In this pic, too, with the student-stitched one and one that Anja did start to finish during the afternoon.

It’s been another quiet week. House members have been very busy: Amy with school, Anja and Loren with the shop, Gogor and Sash and Kaylee with work, Stella working on her various projects, but we’re getting things done and always setting up new projects.
Next week House members may get to Adiantum’s Birthday Bash, but since Loren and Anja aren’t going to be able to go, all meetings are at the normal times this week.

Other than unpacking and Anja trying to find her strayed pincushion there wasn’t that much going on. Anja did manage to spend a little time with the period foods list again, though, getting some things added. (Found the pincushion on Tuesday….) Stella stopped by with some finds for beading or painting and Amy stopped to let us know that while school has eaten her, she hopes it will eventually spit her back out!
The new Bardic Champion, Conchobar (pic by Jill Blackhorse)
Then on Tuesday Night, on the An Tir list on Facebook, Styrkarr Jarlsskald posted:
Missive from the King and Queen:
Due to the death of our beloved Kingdom Bardic Champion, Conchobar, We present the following:
The remainder of Conchobar’s term in the office of Bardic Champion will be divided between three noble and worthy bards: As second place at KASB, We give Lady Sholeh of Susa, of the Shire of Couer du Val, the honor of serving as Our Bardic Champion through July Coronation and give the Champion’s Challenge during our successors’ Coronation.
Following July Coronation, Mistress Ismenia, a well-serving prior Bardic Champion, will take up the cloak and serve Our successors through An Tir Collegium.
Following Collegium, Master Martin le Harpeur, another well-serving prior Bardic Champion, will take up the cloak and serve until a new Bardic Champion is selected in the usual manner at Kingdom Arts & Sciences and Bardic next March.
Hlutwige and Conchobar
We charge all three of these noble Champions to honor the memory of Conchobar by hosting a bardic activity in praise of, and in honor of Conchobar. Our three Champions may interpret this mandate as they see fit. Please join us in honoring these three Champions as we honor the memory of Conchobar (Russ Gilman-Hunt) over the remainder of his term.
In love and service,
Styrkarr and Stjarna

Herb Bunch – Most of whatwe did today was make seed-starting pots and talk about some of the seed that we have, mostly about the gourd, but also a little about chives and leeks and how are we going to grow the shallots without something eating the bulbs. Some lungwort and bergamot got harvested, dried off and hung for drying. We had a “friend” visit on the bergamot, probably the same guy that was chewing the leeks, yesterday!

Project Day
Started with clearing space to work. *How* does that table fill up so fast? Anja got going on more of the “period foods” list, finding some of the obscure things that have come up in the last few weeks of research. She and Loren also talked over how to finish the Latgallian Headdress, since they’re looking at buying materials soon.
Loren started in on a curved bone needle (suggested by our son, Amor) and when Amy got there, she and Anja worked on cup covers and embroidery and we all talked about SCA politics, period foods, the possibility of doing a Russian Feast and lots of other things.
We also talked about doing pool noodle stick horses as a way of making a stick horse suitable for someone small, since if they bop someone with it, or fall on it, no one will get hurt!

Coronation of Gabriel of Maccuswell II and Sonja Ryzaja II in Ansteorra
How To Be a Tudor: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Tudor Life by Ruth Goodman (Author), Liveright; 2017), ISBN-10: 1631492535, ISBN-13: 978-1631492532
Anja got this book after hearing from Seamus that he was reading it. It’s got a marvelously chatty style and is a good secondary source, with some primary from Ruth’s own experience. We’re familiar with “Secrets of the Castle”, the BBC series about Guedelon Castle, which she also did, but her first love is the Tudor era and it *shows*. This is an easy, fast read even though it’s information-dense. The biggest problem is that she cites sources, and then doesn’t tell you where the info is in the source, or where to find the source! …and some of these are really obscure texts.
“OMG – can’t stop laughing! But I will never again trust Google’s helpful offers to translate pages. I’m looking at Cantiga de Santa Maria #10, “Rosa das Rosas” which is in 13th c. Galician Portuguese. The phrase “dona das donas” (referring to Mary) was translated thus: “doughnut of the doughnuts.” 😂 Our Lady of Sprinkles, pray for us!” – Joan Hall – Facebook 4/21 (used with permission)
