[Populace] Cooking Thyng

Greetings!
 
>From set-up to clean-up, from teachers to students, from dayboard to feast  
-- I wish to thank all who made Cooking Thyng III such a wonderful  day.  The 
wealth of knowledge our teachers have to share, and the thirst  for knowledge 
our members seek to slake, make teaching events such a joy.   Additionally, 
countless hours were spent both in and out of the kitchen in the  hope that 
attendees' needs were met.
 
A list like this will inevitably overlook many people, and for that I  
apologise in advance. 
 
Appreciation is extended to Lady Serana for the beaded site tokens; to  
Baroness Valentina, reservationist and gate keeper, and her assistants; to Lords  
Padraig, Tomaloc and Pappy for set-up and take-down -- it seems to get smoother 
 each year;  to Lady Marietta for coordinating the merchants; to Amari and  
Gretchen for their work on dayboard, the event handout, and for picking up all  
the little things that were left at home.  
 
And then for the food -- ah, the food.  Thank you to everyone who  
contributed dishes to the A&S display.  We will always find  taste-testers for food 
researchers.  Thank you to the feast cooks: Lord  John Marshall (cold course), 
Lord Jehan-Yves (lamb course), Baron Dietrich  (chicken course), and Master Hogge 
(sweets course).  You ability to bring  together an on-time, delicious feast 
was impressive.  Just as  impressive was the kitchen staff -- Teofilia, Jan, 
and James kept the kitchen  running so smoothly one would have thought they had 
worked together for  years.  I am sure there were others who came and went 
during the day, but I  do not have their names.
 
To the many hands who stayed well after feast to put the site back to its  
modern form, thank you.  The old adage of "many hands make light work"  
certainly applied last night. 
 
Above all, warmest gratitude for the teachers who so  willing shared the 
fruits of their research and experience, and for  the students, without whom a 
class would not be necessary.
 
Until next time,
 
~ Lady Hedewigis Ockenfüß
