Codgers

[msmemory_archive]

Color me Old Codger. I'm having sticker shock today over the prices of Twelft [sic] Night and Birka. Yes, I know that each is charging just a smidge more than a first-run movie ticket, and I couldn't eat anywhere nicer than Friendly's for a sum like that feast fee, but I am unused to these numbers - or to the notion that advance registration doesn't give a discount.

(If anyone knows for sure that the 12th Night feast is sold out, let me know so I won't bother sending an onboard reservation.)

(I didn't know the Viceroy could cook!)

Oh, he's a fantastic cook. I think he's cooked at some small events in Whyt Whey. There were a number of folks trying to get him a Laurel in cookery before he left the Outlands -- it's a long story as to why he didn't get it. His focus in the East has been different, but he cooked a lot in the Outlands. His personal website features various recipes; he used to write a cooking column for a local newsletter.

Oh, the 12th Night he cooked for me wasn't the one mentioned in the articles. It was a later 12th Night, for 750 people. He learned a lot after his first one -- and we were using a different site with a better kitchen. :)

And his almost-a-Laurel scroll, signed by his friends rather than the Crown, remains proudly displayed on his wall to this day.

I'm one of the signers. Laurels signed first, then other peers, then the rest of the populace. I was one of the many who talked with the king that day. What an event1

His focus in the East has been different....

He still cooks :-)

Good to know! I didn't think he'd stopped, but it sounds as if he's not as known for it in the East as he was in the Outlands. :)

He is an awesome cook.
