As you know, His Excellency Ermenrich and I are beginning to prepare for our court at Wassail on December 20. One of our most important duties as baron and baroness is to recognize individuals in Cynnabar who are doing great work. However, we can't see or hear everything, so if you know of someone who deserves an award, we need that information! Please feel free to email us or tell us in person. For reference, the list of baronial awards and their descriptions is on the Cynnabar website . And if you're wondering whether someone already has an award, you can find out by viewing the baronial Order of Precedence , which is up-to-date as of 11/15/2014. Another quick note: We plan to send court summons to those whom we wish to call up in court. For fun, these may use formal or even intimidating language, so if you receive one, don't worry--you're not in trouble! But please *do *let us know whether you will be able to attend.

There is no set charge. Customers donate what they feel the service is worth and they are usually very grateful. The groups get to keep all donations. The SCA qualifies because it is an educational not-for-profit group. At a recent meeting The Barony of Cynnabar selected two days, Saturday, Dec 13 and Sunday, Dec 21, to volunteer gift wrap at the store. If you are interested in volunteering please reply to this email. Sat, Dec 13-If there are two people who want to take the 10a-12p shift on Saturday, I will let you take my shift.

As Pentamere Regional Herald, I would love to see workshops such as this happen occasionally, as we often attract new members who may be interested in activities such as vocal heraldry, and these de-mystify the process.? Should Their Excellencies and Their Herald desire, I recommend such a workshop twice a year: in preparation for our busy autumn/winter season (GDoT and Wassail!) and again in the spring (St Cecelia, Terpsichore) or summer (in preparation for Pennsic War). Again, it is our pleasure to host.? Thank you to those who came, and to Their Excellencies for putting together such an enjoyable activity!

URL: From barony at cynnabar.org Sat Dec 13 16:32:13 2014 From: barony at cynnabar.org (Richard Harper via Barony) Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2014 11:32:13 -0500 Subject: [Cynnabar] Wassail! (and Food!) Message-ID: Greetings to the list from Henry Kersey of Devon! While we are all busily preparing for our Wassail in Jerusalem next week, I would like to write a little about the food of the Middle East. Many of us in the area of Cynnabar are lucky to be able to experience Middle Eastern cuisine whenever we wish, as the local population bears a high percentage of people from various Middle and Near Eastern cultures. The Middle Eastern foods of our period are not much different than those found today; we can easily recognize such foods as kebabs, pilafs and sweets and savories wrapped in crispy phyllo dough. The cuisine of period Jerusalem would be redolent with rich spices and herbs, earthy vegetables and meats such as beef, lamb, goat and chicken, spit-roasted, baked or simmered slowly for flavor development. I have attached a couple of favorite recipes should anyone wish to be adventuresome and try cooking some of this wonderful cuisine. Both of the recipes are Lebanese in origin and personal favorites of mine from my own cookbook. Ghallaba is a slow-cooked stew comprised mostly of tomatoes, peppers and paprika; it can be made with chicken, beef or goat, or also vegetarian (if making it only with vegetables, I usually add potatoes later in the cooking process). Chicken Ghallaba 4 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1? cubes 1/3 c olive oil or more/less to taste 3 cups chopped onion 2 T chopped garlic 8 T hot paprika (not smoked; can mix hot and sweet if desired) 1 t ground cumin 1 t chili powder 2 28 oz cans stewed tomatoes 4 15 oz cans tomato sauce 4 large green peppers, cut into strips 4 large red peppers, cut into strips 4 cups sliced celery 3 cups sliced mushrooms 3 large carrots cut in diagonal ?? slices Salt and pepper to taste Brown chicken in a large heavy pot in olive oil with the onions, garlic, paprika, cumin and chili powder. Cook until all of the juice boils away, but do not burn. Add the stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, peppers, celery, and mushrooms. Stir and bring to the boil. Boil for ten minutes, then reduce heat and simmer covered for at least two to three hours, stirring occasionally. After an hour?s cooking time, check for seasonings and salt and pepper to taste. (This dish improves in flavor the longer it?s cooked; I usually assemble it, cook for several hours, refrigerate and then cook for a couple of hours the next day. If necessary, it can be reduced further by cooking while uncovered. As you might have noted, this makes a *lot* of ghallaba; the recipe does well being halved, but I have always made enough for several meals at a time as the cooking time is extensive. This is best served (IMNSHO) over basmati rice or a rice pilaf with a dollop of excellent hummus on the side.) Mujadara is a dish which has roots in many Middle Eastern peasant cuisines; made primarily of rice and lentils, it gets its signature smoky/sweet flavor from heavily caramelized onion, cumin and cinnamon. Mujadara ? cup olive oil 2 lbs yellow onions, sliced thinly 1 ? cups green lentils 1 ? cups basmati rice 4 cups hot water, in which has been dissolved 4 bouillon cubes of your choice ? cup dark brown sugar 3 t ground cumin 1 t ground cinnamon In a large skillet or dutch oven (I use a chicken frying skillet), warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until very caramelized. Go beyond what you think is done; you should have dark, dark brown onions with a few burned spots when you are finished. This may take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of cooking vessel. While the onions are cooking, place the rinsed lentils in a saucepan, cover with an inch of water and cook over medium heat, undisturbed, for 20 minutes. Drain the lentils and set aside. When the onions have caramelized sufficiently, add the rice. Stir to mix well and sautee the rice for a few minutes. Add the cooked lentils, water and bouillon, sugar and spices. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and let cook until all the water is absorbed; this may take 25 ? 40 minutes, depending on the size of your pan. Check when all the water is gone; if the rice is still crunchy, add a little bit of water and allow it to steam until done. This is a great dish and is wonderful served with a dollop of Greek yogurt or labneh, another cultured milk product. If you would like to look a little further into recipes from the Mideast, the internet (naturally) is a treasure trove of information. One of my favorite cookbooks is called ?Feast from the Mideast? by Faye Levy, an American who fell in love with Jerusalem as a teenager, moved there, later married a local man and was so captivated by the cuisine that she became a chef and food author. Middle Eastern foods and sweets can be located at several local specialty food shops; in Ann Arbor we have the Mediterranean Market on Stone School and Ellsworth, and the Aladdin Market on Packard, among others. Middle Eastern culture prides itself on its hospitality, and a very important part of that is meze. Meze are small dishes like hors d?oeuvres, and are always available to guests or part of a hafla or party. We will have a table of meze at our event and if you would care to bring something to share, these are the type of dishes you might find: Hummus (a paste made of chickpeas, tahini, garlic and lemon, with possibly many other flavors) Baba Ghanouj (a paste made of roasted eggplant and garlic; one of my favorites) Almonds (coated almonds were also period, although probably not in the bright colors of Jordan almonds!) Various types of Nuts Fruit Dates Figs Crackers, Pitas or Pita Chips Dolmas (grape leaves stuffed with rice, mint and other ingredients; easily found canned at a Middle Eastern market) Sweets (baklava, cashew fingers, other types of phyllo-wrapped sweets) Maamoul (amazing shortbread cookies filled with dates or walnuts; readily available at a specialty food store) Turkish Delight (lokum), a jellied candy usually flavored with rosewater, walnuts or pistachios Thank you for reading; I hope this has given a little bit of information on the foods you?re likely to encounter next weekend. Should you have any questions, please post it here and I?ll do my best to answer. Henry K -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are planning for Grand Day of Tournaments 2015. There are two possible dates in November, the 14th and 21st which are not home games (very important) but have conflicts with both days. On the 14th is the Known World Rapier and Costuming Symposium somewhere in Illinois. While it is outside of the 100 mile rule, the potential draw of the rapier community could be significant. On the 21st, is the UCONN Gaming Convention which many of our populace partake in, plus it would less than one week before Thanksgiving. Also, does anyone know when RUM will be? Mistress Claire? We would like your feedback as to the preference of dates to hold GDoT in 2015.

I would first like to thank Johannes and Agnoletta for posting to both lists. I notice that the full conversation is happening on the Facebook page. Personally, I do not like having "internal Cynnabar planning" discussions on Facebook, as there are many non-Cynnabar people on the Facebook list. But perhaps it is something I'll have to live with. As this has just been a discussion on best possible event dates, I guess it is not too bad. But please be careful what gets discussed on Facebook vs. our internal e-mail list. Thank you. In regards to the event proper, I would like to put a couple reminders to people. First: We have in the recent past agreed to get a recurring event on the Kingdom calendar before our normal full event process (3 meeting approval) has done. These should be considered and exception to the rule. GDoT is far enough out that I expect to go through the full event proposal/approval process before we submit anything to Kingdom Calendar. Second: While I commend Johannes and Agnoletta for getting an early start on putting an event bid together, I would like to remind folks that more than one person(s) can submit a bid for an event. It would then be up to the group to decide on which event bid that they want to support. So if you were considering doing something for GDoT (or any other event), you can always put in an event bid also. Second part the second (the caveat): The one part about more than one person putting in an event is that Cynnabar currently does not have a "submit event bid for 'X' event by 'Y' date" written up. That is, when should a GDoT event bid be due by? It's not written down anywhere. I do plan to correct this so we as a Barony will have a standard calendar of dates for our normal recurring events and when bids should be done by in order to get them on Kingdom Calendar (if needed). This will then help give anyone who wants to submit an event bid a much clearer guideline. I plan to have this in place over the next month or so. So it seems obvious that Johannes and Agnoletta are planning on submitting an proposal for the GDoT event. If anyone else is planning on it also, please let me know so I can make sure the process is fair to all. -Finn Seneschal, Cynnabar. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I wanted to contact you this morning because I am working with Mistress Claire as co-event steward of Crown Tournament. Although it is not yet completely "official" that Cynnabar is running Crown - it does in fact look very likely, and we have been told to go ahead and start making arrangements. With that said, I am very excited about this and about Cynnabar's involvement in such a large, grande event!! We will need quite a lot of participation, and in the next few weeks I will be looking for assistance in a variety of areas. Generally I like to ask people face-to-face to see if they are interested in working on an event. And I intend to do so. However, I am also putting out a call for anyone interested in working on Crown Tournament. We will have LOTS to do, and I hope to have as much excitement and energy as possible. So please feel free to contact me if you would like to work on this event. Yours gratefully, Giovanna -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Reminders Message-ID: Unto all of Cynnabar, We send greetings in the Name of the Blessed and Good. Peace be upon you all. May your lives be lengthened and your happiness preserved. May you be shielded from your enemies. May your blessings be increased. We, Kasha and Ermenrich, write to you this seventeenth day of the twelfth month from Our Barony of Cynnabar, by Merciful Providence in good health and prosperity. As the Darkness of Winter encroaches, We travel south to observe Cynnabar?s ancient customs and rites of Winter in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Yet we seek more than the Sun to dispel the Darkness in Our lands. Longing for the Light of Friendship, We prepare to gather Our Companions to Us on the Eve of the Solstice. With that in mind, We herewith invite all who receive these greetings to join us on the twentieth day of this month, beginning when the Sun is at its Zenith and extending past Sunset into the Darkest Night, when We will celebrate Friendship, Tradition, the end of Darkness, and the return of Light. Through the Abundance of the Most Merciful, We remain Ermenrich, Shaykh of Cynnabar Kasha, Shaykha of Cynnabar ------ In other words: Wassail (Wassail!) is this weekend! We hope to see you on Saturday beginning at noon as we ring in the Winter Solstice. As you're preparing for the event, keep in mind that there are three (three!) reasons to bust out your creative chops: the Cynna-Bar contest , a Table Decorating Contest judged by our *new* Baronial A&S Champion, and an A&S display for anyone who would like to share what he or she has been working on. You may also wish to bring crafts and games to play with others, a dish to share in the potluck, or ingredients for our wassail drink. The event will feature plenty of unscheduled time for socializing, both upstairs and in the basement family area. And for those who are looking for more structured fun, there will be activities for youth and newcomers, as well as a Middle Eastern corner with themed projects and entertainment. In the evening, Ermenrich and I will hold Our first Cynnabar court, which We are incredibly excited about. Court will feature the installment of the new A&S Champion and two new Baronial officers, some entertaining performances, and several Kingdom and Baronial awards. After court, please stay for dicing, dancing, drinking, and desserts. The children of the Barony will also receive a visit from a Very Important Guest. Three safety-related items: - We welcome candles! They go a long way toward giving the event a "period" feel. However, *please make sure they are in candleholders whose sides rise higher than the flames*. - *Please bring ingredient lists* for your potluck dishes, including a list of the sub-ingredients that your pre-prepared ingredients are made of. (For example, did you know most soy sauce has wheat in it?) - Because of dangerous allergies, we have been asked to avoid having bananas at the event. *Please do not bring bananas* into the building. You can visit the Wassail website for more information. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This was the last full meeting of the year. So something super clever, pithy and awesome from me to write to wind up the year? Nah. Happy Holidays everyone! -Finn Proud Seneschal of an Awesome Barony Event and Demo Reports None Upcoming Baronial Events and Demos Nicola's Gift Wrapping (Sat. Dec. 13th and Sun. Dec. 21st) - Please sign up for open spots. Baronial Gift Exchange (Mon. Dec. 15th) - A reminder that this is NOT in garb this year. Rules sent out in separate e-mail. Wassail! (Sat. Dec. 20th) - Coming along. Tons of decorations. Awesome youth activities. Help needed with Friday night setup. St. Cecilia at the Tower (April 24th - 26th, 2015) - We are able to move the event back a week to help accommodate conflict with Roaring Wastes. There is another group that needs to use the site kitchen at the same day on the 25th, but we are able to work with them and we can have our lunch tavern also. Spring Crown Tournament (May 23rd and 24th, 2015) - Curia has not met yet to officially make a decision, but we have heard that Their Highnesses, K.Sen and K.Earl Marshal said it will most likely be ours (and can start planning). Old Business None New Business Event Proposal: Terpsichore at the Tower (Mar. 7th, 2015) ($925 budget including lunch) - Given by Ceara. Good discussion around the (new to us) dayboard/lunch setup. Right now the group seems to be leaning with trying the dayboard. No other issues or concerns. This is the 1st of our 3 meeting discussion/approval process. Group Policy Proposal: New method of identifying our Event Stewards during the event - Given by Sir Gregoire. As we have many events during the year, being able to easily recognize the Event Steward(ess) at an event should be something we strive for. To that end, we should have an easily recognizable outfit (uniform?) for our Event Steward(ess) to wear. One of the most easily recognizable outfit ever is that of the Pan-Am Stewardess! Therefore we should have ALL Event Steward(ess) wear a Pan-Am Stewardess outfit (done in a period style of course!). Many people seemed to like this idea. Others found it may have been just a joke. It's now included in the minutes. So come to the next meeting to weigh in on this.intriguing proposal! This may be the 1st of our 3 meeting discussion/approval process for this.idea. Group Discussion A question on what date would be best for next year's Grand Day of Tournaments, either Nov. 14th or Nov. 21st. It was noted that the 21st would conflict with UCON. While a non-SCA activity, there are many members of the group that would like to go to UCON and if we can avoid that weekend, as long as the 14th doesn't conflict with other SCA events nearby, it would be preferred. Announcements Student group - It was announce that Harriet has agreed to become the next U of Michigan student group president. Hooba! Grand Day of Tournament report - It was a profitable event. $1141.92 for site and $281.44 for lunch tavern netting us a total profit of $1423.06! Uillic says: "Finn's awesome". Aaron and Jadwiga will be holding vigil at Pentamere's 12th Night on Jan 3rd. They will be elevated at Trigirtsee's 12th night (in Chicago) on Jan. 17th. They will also be donating the prize for the "Best new performer" for the Craftsperson's Fair. Aaron says: "Finn's awesome". Aaron and Jadwiga are awesome also! No business meeting on Dec. 22nd. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There will be no craft nights until the 6th of January, and there will be no choir practice this Sunday the 28th, due to us(me and Randy) being sick. We will start off the new year with a series of scroll workshops, which will all have a small lecture/demo in the beginning, and then the rest of the time will be time for working on scroll blank for the ValDay Scroll challenge. The first workshop will deal with materials and basics on how to plan your scroll. More information will come later. For the choir: we are now done with Christmas music, so now we are going to do some pilgrim music, the Cynnabar fight song, and whatever else that catches our fancy, please let us know if you a song that you would like to sing. The MOAS report is due January 15th, so please send me a line before the 13th regarding what you have been doing A&S wise, that I may incorporate it into the report.

We wanted to encourage everyone to come see us at our vigils. We will be holding vigils at Pentamere 12th night on January 3rd (this Saturday). I used to think that vigils were mainly for peers to talk to the vigilants, but I really encourage everyone to come talk to us, especially those of you we don't get to see so often. Our elevation will be at Tree-Girt-Sea 12th night (January 17th) at evening court, and we would love it if the populace of Cynnabar who is attending the event could process in with us. Please let us know if you would be interested. We will also have some limited vigil time there, if you can't make it to Pentamere 12th night. Yours in service, Aaron Drummond and Jadwiga Krzyzanowska -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
