Gryphon’s Fest Feast Information

Posted by
Sieved from the Calonlist:

First, a reminder of the menu for this feast:

Sur La Table:  Bread, Butter, “Puddleford Persimmon Chutney,” Assorted small pasties (beef, mushroom, pork)

1st course:  “Small game birds” with 2 sauces (one fruit, one rosewater), a “Tart of Greens”
2nd course:  Venison, Frumenty (a grain dish, similar to oatmeal, but with savory spices), Peas
3rd course:  Roast pork, Compote of apples and walnuts, Stuffed tubes (fried cheese)
Dessert: “Slices” (a pastry of figs, almonds, and raisins), Candied Orange Peel, and “Tart de Pommes” (apple pie)

As previously mentioned, there will be an “off board” option, for anyone interested. The off-board will be all the dishes that are NOT specifically “meat.”  (The idea, here, is to bring your own meat-of-choice.  We will provide a place for the cooking of said meat.  We will then provide all the side dishes, drinks, and desserts…all this, for the lowlow price of $5.  Limit of 20 off-board tickets.)

Vegan alternatives can, and will *cheerfully* be, made available, on request (in advance, please!  I’m not asking for a paid pre-registration, just let me know, so that I can plan for the vegan substitutes I will need to buy).

I would be very grateful if anyone who is interested in either the “off board” option, or the vegan option, would please let me know, some time before Thursday, 9/25 (since that’s when I’ll be doing the bulk of my shopping).

Thanks, much.

Allegories, Myths and Saints Costume Show at Kris Kinder

Posted by

Greetings unto the Populace of Calontir,

The Barony of Forgotten Sea will be holding a Costume Show based upon the theme of “Allegories, Myths, and Saints”. Often in Medieval Illuminations, ideas and allegories are personified in costumes that do not reflect what people actually wore. Saints, gods, and historical figures are also often shown in fantastical costumes. However, these costumes are intriguing and appealing to SCA folks precisely because they are atypical. So, let your creativity fly, and come dressed in garb that is inspired by the allegories, myths and saints of the Middle Ages. I look forward to seeing all the inspired garb.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at artsandsciences@bfs-kc.org. Below are a couple of examples.

YIS,

Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury,

BFS Arts and Science Minister

When and Where:  Kris Kinder, Dec.  14th in the Barony of Forgotten Sea. Time TBA

Marie Chantal Delaire Made Extraordinary Herald at Valor

Posted by

From Facebook:

 

Things that happened in Vatavia this weekend: a post from Gold Falcon.

On August 30th at the Tournament of Valor, I made Her Excellency Marie Chantal Delaire a Herald Extraordinary for her service to Vatavia, the Southwestern region of Calontir, and Calontir’s College of Heralds for the past two decades. This allows her the use of a personal heraldic title and recognizes her as a senior member of the College.

More can be seen here regarding the post and the scroll text, and I believe there will be photos of Her Excellency being so recognized.

Vivat Marie Chantal Delaire, our newest Herald Extraordinary!

The Falcon Banner Misquoted at SCAToday.net

Posted by

A recent post at SCAToday.net erroneously reported elevations at Lilies War were “…by the hands of Their Majesties Agamemnon and Gwen.” Their Royal Majesties Martino and Ariel were the actual Crowns granting those elevations, as Their Royal Majesties Agamemnon and Gwen did not have Their coronation until the following month. 

We have verified that no posting on The Falcon Banner reflected such an error, and have requested a correction from SCAToday.
