I should have posted this earlier
It probably would have been more useful for me to post this earlier, but hey, better late than never, right?

Anyhow, for those of you in the Upper Valley, MEaD (Medieval Enthusiasts at Dartmouth) is hosting its quarterly Inn at Knottyng Cross tonight. Our 13th century English inn will be bringing you a special treat tonight, an afternoon of camaraderie and revelry, and a feast of fine medieval French dining.

All afternoon, starting at about 2 PM, we will have amusements such as gaming, juggling, and archery, and an assortment of snacks to nibble on. By 6 PM, the feast should begin. All dishes in the first remove (course) will follow the traditional rules for Lent, so you can experience what people in the middle ages ate like for 40 days out of every year (no meat, dairy, or eggs, only fish and vegetarian dishes). The second remove will have all of the dishes that weren't allowed during Lent, including meat, eggs, and cheese.

So come one and all, and join us at the DOC house on this fine afternoon. The afternoon's activities are free, and the feast is $5 if you have not already registered. Bring period garb if you have it, or we can lend you some if you don't.

DETAILS at a glance:
Today, Sunday, February 24th

Games and amusements 2 PM - 6PM
Feast 6 PM, including vegetarian, fish, and meat dishes

$5 for the feast

At the DOC House, the building between the golf course and Occum pond

I'll be there in spirit. Have something savoury with rosemary for me?

Hey, Q! I haven't seen you in forever! I hope you're doing well in Japan. Give me a poke when you're up in New England and we should meet up if possible. And surprisingly, none of the dishes had rosemary, though we did use a lot of sage, parsley, ginger, and an interesting one that no one uses much any more called grains of paradise.

Hey Mr. Anachronistic Common Era! Next time I'm in the states I'll give you a call, promise. ^_^

I can't believe the dishes had ginger and not rosemary! The nerve! But the grains of paradise sound interesting. Too bad birds of paradise live in Oceana and not Africa, else they could enjoy a fitting diet. Ever see 'em dance?
