I'll write this up much better once I've had some sleep. I just want to get the pictures loaded so I can play with them properly.

Yes. Definitely well-endowed with teh kewte!

Why is it that SCAdians have such cute kids? It can't just be the garb :D

I think the garb definately helps. I know I'm biased but I think he's generally pretty darn cute, but you put him in garb and it's so sweet it could make a pancreas explode. :)

He's getting HUGE! He's totally in line with where he should be in the 96-98% for both height and weight so he's perportionate, but he's getting really hard to lug around. :)

He's finally completely off the boob, because I couldn't get him to stop biting no matter what I tried, but he got a good 6-7 months and seems to be still doing fine. He's starting to try more foods now and I love that he's digging on veggies.

There's always next year!! This is becoming my favorite event of the year despite the looooooooooong drive.

just a note (because we've discussed this and I know you're trying to stick with the contents of the translation available to you, but I don't want the error to spread) that "sprouts of life" is a mistranslation and should be "grape vine tips" not cabbage or bean sprouts.
glad you had fun!

It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! I just wish I had been able to cook more.

Eventually I hope to have better translation skills myself, but in the meantime I'm always happy to use better information if it's available. If you would be willing to share any of your translations I'd be happy to use those, and of course I'd credit you for it. No pressure, I know you're busy with other projects and may not have time to dig out your translation work for the last banquet, or feel comfortable sharing it if a pamphlet is in the works.

sorry didn't realize I wasn't logged in for my earlier comment.. I'll send you the grape vine tips recipe - we tried it a couple times for the Venetian Banquet this spring but couldn't get enough grape tendrils to serve 150 so we let it go...

My new supervisor's family has a certified organic vinyard in eastern washington. I've already asked her about vine tips and verjuice. They don't currently do anything with either, so I'm hoping I might possibly be able to interest them if they'd just toss the early grapes and prunings ( ... )

I love this pattern. I was trying to get an entire set until Rob got us an 8 person setting of better china for every day use.

I also found that for a while Marshalls an Ross were carrying american market Deruta for insanely cheap so I was snapping that up while it was available intead.

question on the sprouts . . . kathrynmice July 10 2011, 15:47:32 UTC
what is the purpose of parboiling them before frying? you see that alot in medieval recepies and I am curious if its cleanliness or textural.

ps - looks like you had a great time at the event!

Historically it may have been for humoral balance, and for flavor it may have helped remove some bitterness.

It was a lot of fun, well worth the 10+ hours each way with an infant. :) I love traveling with friends.
