The SCAadian Little Red Hen - Barony Beyond the Mountain

The SCAadian Little Red Hen
An Anonymous Anachronistic Parable
One day a Little Red Hen thought it would be fun to hold an event. “Who will come with me to the Baronial Meeting to
discuss this?” she asked.
“Not I,” said the Keyboard Commando. “I have a dungeon crawl that night.”
“Not I,” said the Grouchy Old-Timer. “Meetings aren’t run the way they used to be.”
“Not I,” said the Perpetual Whiner. “It’s too inconvenient, and gas is too expensive, and …”
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen.
So she went to the Baronial Meeting, and found there the same few hens and roosters who always show up. They talked
about it, decided to have the event, and got enough volunteers to get the ball rolling.
“Who else will help me with this event?” asked the Little Red Hen on the Baronial email list after the meeting.
Not I,” said the Keyboard Commando. “But here are ten pages of suggestions.”
“Not I,” said the Grouchy Old-Timer. “I’ll be too busy reminiscing with friends about the Good Old Days.”
“Not I,” said the Perpetual Whiner. “Nobody ever does what I tell them to, and my back has been hurting me, and …”
“Then we will,” said the Little Red Hen and the Usual Volunteers. “But if you change your minds we’d love to have your
help.”
The day of the event dawned bright and clear. People from all over the Kingdom came to enjoy it, including the Keyboard
Commando, the Grouchy Old-Timer, and the Perpetual Whiner.
“That was exhausting but fun,” said the Little Red Hen. “Now who will help me clean up afterwards?”
But there was silence from the Keyboard Commando, the Grouchy Old-Timer, and the Perpetual Whiner, for all three had
left as soon as the event had ended.
“Then we will,” said the Little Red Hen and the Usual Volunteers. And they cleaned up the site and brought the Baronial
supplies back to be stored for the next event.
Afterwards the site invited the Little Red Hen’s group back to hold more events, and many of the attendees wrote their
thanks for the great event. But not everyone was satisfied.
“You didn’t run things according to Proper Period Production Planning Procedures, which *I* once read an article on,”
complained the Keyboard Commando.
“You didn’t have the activities the event had in my day,” pouted the Grouchy Old-Timer.
“Some of the Baronial officers didn’t volunteer enough,” groused the Perpetual Whiner (who hadn’t helped out at all).
“So why don’t YOU step up and run an event the way YOU think it should be done?” asked the Little Red Hen. “Why don’t
YOU volunteer to run the activities YOU want to see? Why don’t YOU run for Baronial office if you think you can do better?”
“Outrageous!” exclaimed the Keyboard Commando. “I shared with you my superior knowledge. It is YOUR job to take
care of the mundane details.”
“The effrontery!” huffed the Grouchy Old-Timer. “The fact that you and your Usual Volunteers ran this event is clear proof
that only a small cabal of newcomers is actually permitted to do anything in this Barony. I shall complain to the King at once!
And to the BOD! I have connections, you know.”

“Impossible!” snapped the Perpetual Whiner. “I’m a
very busy person. You obviously have no regard for MY
time and MY needs.”
So the Keyboard Commando, the Grouchy OldTimer, and the Perpetual Whiner spent the next year
writing letters and e-postings to all and sundry how the
Little Red Hen was so inconsiderate and lazy and
unwilling to listen to Good Advice, and they all felt very
good about themselves.
In fact they felt so good that they never noticed that
the Little Red Hen never volunteered to run an event
again.

Weaving A&S Day
BBM is holding an all-day weaving workshop at the
New Britain Public Library on Saturday, January 19.
There will be looms of some of the following types: table,
sprang, warp-weighted, inkle, tablet, brocaded (and
possibly tapestry if there is any interest expressed ahead
of time). There will be classes and demos on these

and drop spinning, calculating how much thread one
needs for a project and warping.
Hours are 9AM to 4:45PM (library doors lock at 5:00).
Please bring a pot-luck for lunch - does not have to be
period food.
This is an official workshop (and, yes, our Baroness
should attend as she's one of the teachers!) but as it is
at the library, the public is welcome to attend. Admission
is free. Some instructors may charge materials costs.
Garb is optional. If you have friends who might be
interested, please bring 'em along. If you would like to
teach or demo at this event or have any questions,

Simplefare Thanks
Greetings, Everyone!
Wow, Simplefare was great fun this year! We had a
record number of fencers, lots of fun classes, great food
and a whole lot of willing people pitching in for setup and
clean up.
Thank you to the staff and all the volunteers who
helped. I had a great time; and in walking around I saw a
lot of other people having a great time, too. Clean up
was very well attended and for that I thank people
especially!
I have a knife that was found in the kitchen but does
not belong to BBM. If you lost a knife at Simplefare,
please contact me and describe it. Thanks.
~ Anarra, Seneschal
I will echo our seneschal's words in expressing my
sincere appreciation to everyone who worked in the
kitchen before, during and after Simplefare, especially to
my co-kitchen coordinator Lady Johanna of Glastonbury
. She was with me every minute and she and her
husband, Chris, hauled the entire kitchen collection of
equipment and supplies in their truck back to its storage
location on Sunday.
Great thanks also to Baron Jehan and Master Luke
and Hugh of Carolingia. Their service was invaluable in
cooking, plating and serving the many dishes out to our
diners on time and smoothly.
Baron Salaamallah and his Lady Gwendollyn
continue to be Simplefare stalwarts, shopping, baking
desserts and designing recipes. With our wonderful
kitchen staff, we were able to spell Salaamallah from
working in the kitchen during the day to allow him some
time to enjoy his true passion, playing and teaching
board games.
Retired Baron Dinsdale and Baroness Alfgifu were
part of an incredible cleaning staff that had us cleaned,
closed and out the door by 9:20 p.m.
You are too many to name, and I confess, I don't
know some of your names. But your dishwashing,
drying, sorting, stacking and loading skills are
commendable.
It is often said that Simplefare is an event that runs
itself. That can only happen with the help of the many
volunteers who each play a part, no matter how small, to
ensure that everyone has a good time.
We hope the feast was to your liking and that you will
join us again next Fall Simplefare.
~ Evaine fyrdd Brangwen
Claire Bessette
I just wanted to take a moment to express my
appreciation for everyone who worked to make
Simplefare a wonderful day. It was my first Simplefare
out of the kitchen in… I don’t know how many years. At
least thirteen. Probably more.
Many people worked very hard to create a fun event.
I know that I’m going to miss some – please don’t be
offended. The day went by in a bit of a blur. In no
particular order, specific thanks to:
Lady Evaine for stepping up and running the kitchen.
I missed spending the day with you. Additional thanks for
letting me play through a few times, and understanding
that I was missing my soup pot.
Lady Johanna and her husband Cristofero for
working non-stop all day in the kitchen. I know how hard
you guys work hard every year – I appreciate it. I missed
seeing you.
Masters Luke and Jehan and Lord Hugh, who came
down from Carolingia to help cook. A Simplefare with
Master Luke in the kitchen just feels Right to me. Master
Jehan – the service for high table was something to be
proud of. It was truly a pleasure to be so well cared for at
our first high table, and even more of a pleasure that it
was arranged by such a good friend.
Mistress Damiana, Lord Griffith (Griffyth? Gryffyth?
Griffin? No idea…), Drogo (I hope I got your name right,)
Lord Hugh, and any others who served high table. It was
a lovely experience – you spoiled us all evening. Even if
it did take me awhile to remember that I didn’t need to
grab, chew, and bolt back to the kitchen. Drogo also
deserves thanks for his assistance in the kitchen.
Lady Leandra, for all of her behind the scenes work,
and her patience with my nerves. Thank you for
understanding.
Many thanks to everyone who stepped up to compete
in the two Baronial Championship tourneys. It was a
pleasure to watch.
Lord Gelleys, for going out of his way to find me so
that I could come watch the heavy list tourney, and for
holding it for fifteen minutes so that I could feed
Charlotte some lunch. She and I both appreciated that.
Don Wyatt – for good advice, good conversation, and
the loan of a warm cloak. I felt terribly guilty about taking
it, but I was clearly colder than I thought I was.
Lady Aurelia, for watching Charlotte for close to the
entire day. Thank you for not merely doing that, but for
being wise enough to realize that I was going to need it
and planning accordingly. I truly cannot thank you
enough.
Master Cormac, I would thank you for your
assistance in helping me with court, except for your
verbal replacement of my beloved husband with my
esteemed father. We’ll chat about that
later… :-)
Lastly a huge thank you to everyone who made my
first Simplefare as Baroness as memorable a good time
as my very first Simplefare was, all those years ago. I
didn’t get to spend nearly the time with people that I had
hoped or planned to, but the time I did have was
wonderful.
~ Eloise, Baroness
Chicken and Cherry Pie
I’ve always liked this pie from the day I first had it at an
event. The late Mistress Minowara Kiritsubo no Ason,
known far and wide as Kiri, in addition to being a Laurel
for her Japanese research, a Pelican for her unending
service and a Baroness of Dun Carraig, was an
exemplarity cook. When I lived in Atlantia I was
privileged to attend events where she was the head
cook; and everything she made was awesomely
delicious and well researched. We once hosted a
redacting class at our house where another friend chose
this recipe of Kiri’s to use as an example. It’s always
very, very good. I wrote to her husband, Baron Philip of
Gent , OP, for permission to print this recipe in the
Chanticleer, which he graciously granted.

CRUSTA EX CICURIBUS (Another Crust with Tame
Creatures)
From De Honesta Voluptate, by Platina:
If you want to put pigeons and any other birds in a crust,
first let them boil; when they are almost cooked, take
them out of the pot, then cut them into nice pieces and
fry them in a pan with a goodly amount of lard. Next put
them in a deep dish or an earthen pot that has been well
greased, and where a crust has been rolled out on the
bottom. To this dish you may add plums and cherries or
sour fruit without going wrong. Then take verjuice and
eight eggs, more or less depending on the number of
guests, if there are a few, with a little juice, beaten with a
spoon; to this add parsley, marjoram and finely cut mint,
which can be blended after being cut up, and put this all
near the fire, but far from the flame. It must be a slow
heat so that it does not boil over. All the while, it should
be stirred with a spoon until it sticks to the spoon
because of its thickness. Finally pour this sauce into the
pastry crust and put it near the fire and when it seems to
have cooked enough, serve it to your guests. It is very
nourishing and slow to be digested. It has few harmful
effects, checks the bile and irritates the body.
Redaction by Baroness Minowara Kiritsubo no Ason,
Companion of the Order of the Laurel, Companion of the
Order of the Pelican:
2 lb. Chicken
Pastry for a single crust
1 cup plums and/or cherries (if dried, soak in white wine
until soft)
1/2 cup white wine
6 tsp. White wine vinegar
(Or 1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons verjuice if you can find
it.)
8 eggs
1 1/4 tsp. each of marjoram, mint and parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1 pt. chicken stock
1/2 cup chicken stock
1. Boil chicken pieces in 1 pt. of stock until almost
cooked. Bone the chicken
pieces and brown in a little olive oil.
2. Line a deep dish pie tin with pastry, then fill with
chicken and fruit.
3. Pour the sauce over the pie. Bake at 350 degrees
until browned on top.
Sauce:
1. Blend eggs, wine, vinegar and 1/2 cup of the chicken
broth together.
2. Add finely minced parsley, marjoram and mint.
3. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until
thickened so that it clings to the spoon.
Notes:
1. I used a mixture of white wine vinegar cut with a little
white wine to approximate the verjuice that the original
recipe calls for.
2. I used sour cherries for the fruit, which produced a
good balance with the flavor of the chicken.

November 10th, 2012

BBM/Bergental Yule
December 8th, 2012
Hosted by Barony of Beyond the Mountain - New Britain, CT
The drums of war,
Now fall silent,
As the last leaf falls,
Upon our world.
Twixt a warm breath,
And the cold of air,
One can see the spoken word.
The seasonal change of days be anear,
Thus, Winter is nigh,
So Yule be anon.
And so, the time of celebration of the Yuletide, is upon us.
The Barony Beyond the Mountain, along with our neighbor
barony to our north, Barony of Bergental, invite one and all to
share in this festive event. We have the honor bestowed upon
us, to have King and Queen, Edward Grey,II of Lochleven and
Þóra Eiríksdóttir, known to all and sundry as Thyra, to grace
our doors and sit at our high table.
This promises to be a day filled with holiday fair. The pantry
has been opened for our cooks, to prepare a scrumptious
feast. There will also have a bountiful day board for all who
wish, to partake, and enjoy.
The day will be filled with activities both leisurely and for the
more active soul. Enjoy the wares of our merchants, consult on
your heraldry, display your best A & S work, and help raise
money for the Kingdom travel fund. There is always the
impromptu gathering of discussions, and possibly spontaneous
classes, as you take time to do busy work.
For those of the martial arts kind, it has been put upon me
to let it be known, THERE WILL BE FIGHTING. There has also
rumored of a hunt(sshh, quite, it is but a rumor). The fields of
will also be available for Fencing.
The Brewers Guild, under the auspices guidance of Fergus
Redmead, we will have a brewers competition. Bring you best
meads, ciders, wines, ales, largers and beers. The site has
ruled there can be NO cordials or "jacked" products allowed.
Courts of our Royalty, and Baronies, will be succeeded by
Celebration of Yule in traditional manner.
During this season of giving, we will hold a few fund raising
activities.
We have the popular Yule cookie sale to benefit the Kingdom
Travel Fund, Bring a dozen or two, or three or four of your
favorite baked Yule cookies, list the ingredients. Donate them
to the cause, handing them over to the cookie co-ordinator.
Then, peruse the table for cookies you would like to take, for a
monitary donation.
The Annual Baronial Auction will be held. Donate your
unwanted SCA-usable items (books, feast gear, garb,
materials, etc) to benefit BBM or Bergental. Skills or
promissory coupons for custom work may also be donated.
Bring your items to Yule or contact Mistress Jovonne
(jovanpelt@comcast.net).
And then there is an A & S fundraiser. Display any of your A
& S projects. Show finished and in process work, to be judged
by all. There will be 2 different tokens used, one for populace
and one for those that have Kingdom level award and above
(OSC, Maunche, Laurel, Pelican, and Knight). The most
popular, of each of the two tokens will be presented with a gift.
Tokens can be purchased and thus dropped into a
corresponding tally cup, you get 3 tokens for a mear dollar.
Merchants will need to bring tables. Maximum of two (2)
Banquet sized tables, or the equivalent thereof.
Now that there is a spark, a twinge of titillation, in your
being, the who, when, and where.
