Church with their participation in the Caritas program as a thank you for
letting us use the church for practice, meetings and other activities at no
cost to us. So
what is Caritas? Several churches
in Once again this year we will be
doing cot set up on Saturday, Jan 20th and will only
take about an hour. We will post to
the email list what time volunteers will need to be there. We will also be providing an evening
meal on Tuesday, Jan. 23rd. Master Fritz has graciously volunteered to
head up the cooking. This is where I
need your help. From now until Jan. 16th
all money that is dropped in the donation jar for church at practice or
meetings will go towards paying for the food.
I ask that you please consider a generous donation for this
cause. Please remember they give us
the use of the church for free and this is a very good way give our support
back to them. If you have any warm clothes or
shoes you would like to donate, please let me know as well. Thank you, Baron William *Please note that the

By Ysolt de la Mere This recipe comes from The
Legendary Cuisine of Persia by Margaret Shaida. A dish like this would have been served
with gracious hospitality in the domiciles of Islamic Spain. The sour orange or naranj was in cultivation in the Arab lands by the 10th
century and had spread to the Ingredients: 4 to 5 lb chicken 1 tsp cinnamon 3 large carrots 2 medium onions 3 2 Tbs sugar salt & pepper to taste pistachio & almond slivers Liquid Saffron: Place 20-30 threads
of dry saffron in a mortar, adding a dozen or so grains of sugar and grind to

Message from the Baron and
Baroness
Greetings! We
hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays.
We are looking forward to this coming new year and plans have already started on several events
including Winter Tidings and Sapphire Joust.
There are several projects already in progress too like the new banners,
which are coming along really well. Thank
you to everyone who responded to our vote of confidence. Their Majesties were very impressed with
the number of responses They received.
We thank you for your support and look forward to the opportunity to
continue serving the Barony. Scriptorium/A&S
gather for January will on the 20th at her Excellency’s
house. We will be continuing work on
scrolls and the new banners. We will
post more information to the list as the date draws closer. Thanks to Bojzena and TJ for opening up
their home for the December gather.
The gather for February will be held at the Rivers Point event Winter
Tidings on Feb. 24th. We
would like to thank Baroness Ysabeau for the wonderful job she has done as
our Baronial Chronicler and wish her well as she returns to graduate
school. Thanks to Lady Ysabella for
taking over the position. She has some
really good ideas and we look forward to working with her. In
Service, William
and Katerina
By: Ysabella Cacemoine It
has been my pleasure to step up to office.
Thank you Ysabeau for your courtesy in all that you have shown
me. Good luck in your continued
education. As
of this last Barony meeting we discussed many a great ideas for articles in
this publication. One idea that really
caught interest is “Meet the Barony”. There
are plenty of new people like myself in our Barony. “Meet the Barony” will be a series of
articles featuring our very own Populace.
Next month will start with a feature on our distinguished Baron &
Baroness. We’ll be starting with our
Officers and long time Caer Mear-ians.
If you fall into that category please send me your submissions with
photos or heraldry. Lady Ysolt has
created a form to make submissions easy.
You can find this form on our Caer Mear chat under “Files” named
“About Me”. I will be glad to meet
with anyone who needs help getting a photo in garb. I am asking for everyone’s assistance in
this project. It will be fun and
informative. And inquiring minds want
to know! Work
is being continued on a new updated web site.
When this project will be completed and implemented is still unknown
at this time. In the meantime, I am
continuing my best efforts to keep the current site as up to date as
possible. |
