I mentioned a post or 2 back that I was interested in a food-related A&S entry at Spring Coronation.  I will be making Almond Tart from 1599.  I did a dry run from a friend’s redaction Friday & brought it to Lupercalia on Saturday to sample & get feedback from others on.  It was delicious!  :)  So I’ll be working on my own redaction and will be making 20 small tartlets for the competition.  Good thing I have a mini muffin pan!

Here is the original recipe:

Blanch almonds & beat them , & strain them fine with good thicke Creame. Then put in Sugar & Rosewater, and boyle it thicke. Then make your paste with butter, fair water, & the yolks of 2 or 3 Egs and so soone as ye have driven your paste, cast on a little fine sugar, and rosewater, and harden your paste afore in the oven. Then take it out, & fill it, & set it in againe, & let it bake til it be wel, & so serve it.

I am considering entering the A&S competition that is feast for NS’s Spring Coronation.  Details are here. Not sure what I’ll enter yet, but going to look at options  this week.

What I’ve done so far:

1. Amber & silk rosary inspired from Jan Van Eyck’s Arnolfini “Wedding” Portrait- Boar’s Head 07  (won Queen’s Choice!)
2. “Coral” & “Jet” rosary
3. “Knight’s” rosary
4. 3 cordials - WW 08
5. Female Persian outfit - Griffin’s Needle 08
6. Male Persina outfit - Griffin’s Needle 08
7. Taught A&S of Heraldry class (NS Herladic and Scribal Symposium 08 & Boar’s Head 08)

I am participating with the SCA’s A&S 50 Challenge with two separate challenges.  

#1 - Enter 50 A&S items into displays or competitions.

#2 - Create 50 pieces of heraldic display.

This blog is here for me to document my progress on these.
