Several sub-pages are going up, one on test dishes, one on feast food prep, and one for “reviews”. None of these are finished, but here is the next-to-final cookbook. All that it needs is pictures, at this point.

11/1/19 – All 6 jars. The first two are the leftmost, then the Friday ones in the center. You can see a color change… and a texture change with the one in the front with the turnip. On the right is the tvarog and behind it is the brine used for topping up the jars. If you look *really* carefully, you can see liquid from the “spitting” that the jars do as they ferment.

2-1-20 – Over the course of this year we’ve delved pretty heavily into German Renaissance Food. At this point we have a pretty good menu and the cookbook is almost ready to use.

Invitations went out a couple of weeks ago and we’re getting responses back, now.

There’s a major shopping trip scheduled for 2/4 and we’re already into the pre-prep of things that can be made ahead and frozen.

We got our sauerkraut ready months ago!

This year’s invitation

House Capuchin’s Winter Feast will be held on Sunday, February 23 at the Seal Rock Garden Club building, 10377 NW Rand Street, Seal Rock Oregon. All are invited, you only need to request to be put on the admittance list (so we can figue out how much food to buy!) and please bring friends!

This year’s theme is German Renaissance foods. The feast is free, although we’re hoping for donations to help cover costs, but not setting a specific amount.

The site opens at Noon and there will be food and drink and entertainment available all day (yes, lunch…), with the feast to begin at 5pm (bring your feast gear…). The site closes at 8pm, although if you want to stay later and help with cleanup it would make the staff very happy.

There is a solar, so bring your crafts (and we can shift more tables, if needed). Estella and Wilhelm will be providing music, along with the electronic bards for when flesh and blood are tired or need to eat. We’re hoping for at least two storytellers, and possibly a dance or two. There will also be a discussion of the food research that happens during the hall re-set for the feast, iow at about 4:15 or so.

There is a list of places to stay near the site (and at winter rates!), since House Capuchin’s main base is a tourist area.

So please come in garb, if you have it, to play, eat and enjoy!

Not an official SCA event!

House Capuchin is based in the Principality of the Summits, southwestern Terra Pomeria (mka South Lincoln County) directly west of Couer de Val. Households are not official groups of the SCA, but most of us are members.

 

Reminder 1/31 – I need RSVP’s by 2/3. That’s Monday! We’re doing the major shopping on Tuesday and need a count so we know about how much to get!
