The SCA
household we belong to (Ulfredsheim)
held their annual mid-winter feast this weekend. It was big fun to see
everyone, and there was (as usual with our household) a really lot of really
good food. Some highlights for me were some period gingerbread, a Roman
honey cheesecake (mmmmmm) a flourless almond cake with caraway, and a very
tasty pie of chicken livers and smoked pork products. That last one was
not for the weak of palette, but I thought it was great. I love to see
people recreating historical recipes, and it’s even better when I get to
eat them.
Vikki and
I still aren’t quite sure where / when we’ll do this year’s Cast Iron Chef
contest, but I’ll try to keep everyone posted.
