alysten1. OK, so you're Queen. What are your whims?
This is a hard one, as that is a job that I really would never care to do.
1. Court to start ON TIME.
2. More food cooked from known period techniques/ingredients and not redacted from "known" recipes. Things that are tasty and packed with protein (preferably animal).
3. More fencing tournaments that are duel based and less melee.
4. More demonstrations of true period fighting styles, sword, lance, polearms, rapier, etc.
5. More A & S projects focused on techniques and imagination rather than copies of existing works.
6. Cold coke and sugar free red bull to be supplied in the royal room.
2. Where do you find your energy?
I was hatched that way. Gram and mom both had energy abound as well. I have been told, it is just the way I am hard wired. When I was little, I would go until I dropped. Literally. Where ever I was. They even found me sleeping up the stair case.
3. Who's your favorite muppet?
Kermit the Frog. As far back as I can remember.
4. If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
The ability to control time. There is so much I want to do, see and experience. And never enough time to do it all.
5. Are there foods that you don't like or don't like to cook?
Oh yes... I despise Lima beans and organ meats (especially liver). I don't like to eat them, I don't like to cook them, can't stand the smell of them. There is a reason I delegated the soup this weekend. Cooked carrots, its a texture thing. Eggplant and tofu, if the gods wanted me to eat a sponge, they would have been made tastier. I'm sure there are others, but those are at the top of my list.
I am willing to entertain more questions, if anyone is so inclined.

Date: 2009-12-08 08:10 pm (UTC)If you know that meat cut from the leg area tends to be walked on a lot, it probably has a lot of connective tissues and is naturally going to be tough. Then you know that it probably requires a wet (stewed) cooking method, for a long period of time. You probably deduce that you will be able to use this method for any protein that fits this profile, cow, pig, chicken, duck, deer. If you are a recipe only follower, if the recipe says beef, then you will only cook the recipe with beef. It makes the food choices limited.
