Greetings good gentles, do not fret I will continue to randomly put food on this blog but I have embarked on a new journey. This past weekend was Drachenwald's 12th night Coronation filled with all the things expected and a few surprises! One of those surprises was I did not plan nor execute a single meal. Instead I gathered a team of volunteers who took up various roles. Bryndis and Hedwig took on feeding the hungry arriving masses with a sumptuous traveler's fare. Soup and bread, butter, cheese and salami, Renee' and Kyne graciously did breakfast! A tough job for 2 non early birds but they pulled it off well and were not too scared away. Lars and Barbara took on Lunch with a gorgeous chicken stew (that just keeps getting better as it sits!) and delights for the vegetarians as well. Feast was a masterpiece of passion created by Nehmet Arpad and assisted faithfully by Kytte. So many tasty things in 2 courses and topped off with a lovely sideboard of dessert choices.
My role helped by Oriane who held the purse strings, was to keep the work flowing, be a 'fixer' or a 'finder' and to do the shopping. I helped to plate the first course along with Giano before my left hip gave out and Celemon stepped in. They chopped, counted, plated and made the transfer from Kitchen to Feast hall.
Estrid headed up a crew of many to bring not just food buy joy and mirth to the feast hall.
Many hand made light work and I did not catch the name of every helper so I will blanket THANK YOU TO ALL!
My event was relaxed and busy but very very good.
