The cake/gingerbread great hall might be too big to transport to the event from Philly (even in pieces). I am open to ideas. What would you like to see in a medieval Ace of Cakes meets food network challenge 2-4 foot cake?  I'll worry about the historically accurate part later.

Saturday I spent the day cooking for Mudthaw. I tried out a few recipes and taught some folks about period cooking.  We made the strawberry tarts and a strawberry port sauce with muscadine grapes.  This will be better when cooked as a boiled custard.

We made 4.5 gallons of roasted cauliflower soup.  This was the winner of the day.  40lbs of chicken has been reduced to 3 gallons of stock and 3 gallon bags of chicken pieces. That's 2 dishes already completed and in the freezer. Bread was started.  Two loaves actually made it to the freezer. Now that I have a live starter, more bread will be on the way.

Saturday night was the tad party.  Hanging out with good friends, way too much food and duct taping a baron is a good way to spend a Saturday. Sunday was spent reading and watching the Oscars via lumineaux's LJ.

I missed [livejournal.com profile] mmcnealy  and [livejournal.com profile] alphasarah elevations to the Order of the Laurel.  Congrats to both!

All in all, it was a good weekend.
