Still slowly plugging away at this writing thing....
I pulled out something today that I haven't worked on in a month or two and did a little bit more updating to it, and realized that soon I'm going to need feedback and more ideas on what I'm forgetting.
This is the article "A Brief Treatise on the Care and Feeding of a College of Heralds" (aka "How to be a good principal herald"). So, without ( Read more... ) -
Nothing to see here.
Today's rain-and-hail-storm prompted some general pruning and deadheading of my plants.
Similarly, I find myself doing so with this account. Nothing personal, just cleaning up some communities and journals that I wasn't actually reading. Sometimes you can have things in common with people or even be friends with them, and yet still not be ( Read more... ) -
Making A Reasonable Attempt - food
Over on alienor's journal, she was asking about how to deal with the situation of "I'd like my kit and SCA activity to be more period, including X. However, X isn't one of my areas of interest, and I don't have time to really research or go through a long learning curve on X (I'm doing that for Y instead).

Near the end, we were talking about franchise and trying to come to some kind of definition of it, particularly a medieval one (not the 'fast food franchise' kind). AElflaed suggested that it might be one of those words that fell out of favor, and ( Read more... ) -

Siege Cooking Idea
So, someone mentioned siege cooking on a list I'm on (ok ok so it was ThinkWell - it was a passing reference, an example, forget about it), and this triggered something I've always thought about siege cooking "adventures" ...
Siege cooking contests simply don't deal with the scale of the situation. You get your basket of goodies that's about ( Read more... ) -
I am the queen of underestimation.
I think my walk-in closet isn't big enough for my garb plus my other costumes/historical clothing. I've hung up most of my garb, and that doesn't include the folding stuff (pants, tunics, undertunics, smocks), The Big Green Skirt, or either of the two pieces I'm currently sewing, and it doesn't include The Civil War Gown of Doom or any other non- ( Read more... ) -
Go go gadget Midwinter
Midwinter was had. People liked it. People loved the food. People had fun. Merchants came and were almost entirely happy. People liked the merchants. Duchess Elina, author of The Armored Rose, came and talked and was a hoot to listen to. There was dancing, and people liked it, even though I don't think they ever did "Hole in the Wall". People ( Read more... )
