    Meridian Grand Tournament – 09.2017 – photos are online! :D

    2017/10/04

    We are back from another awesome SCA event – the Meridian Grand Tournament! Like in the years before, we had a terrific time. I got to watch my husband fight in several tournaments as well as in the grand final tournament. We got to hang out with dear “old” friends and new friends which we just met. Yeah, my sweetheart and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously. And what makes this already amazing day even better is that Our beloved Majesties decided to bestow a “Grant of Arms” upon me during court.

    Meridian Spring Crown Tournament 2017 – photos are online! :D

    2017/05/31

    The last days I not only worked on getting rid of the Spring Crown Tournament aftermath  at home. I also worked my way through all the photos I took during the tournament. And here are some of my personal favorites: From afar as well as from up close is this pavilion set up quite impressive – all these banners, the tapestries in the background… *sigh* I really love this set up. But I am not quite sure to whom this pavilion, the tapestries and all the banners belong. However, this doesn’t dampen the great inspiration it provides for the future…

    Border Raids 2017 – photos are online… :)

    2017/05/31

    After getting rid of most of the Crown Tournament aftermath at home, I finally found the time to pick my most favorite picture taken at Border Raids in Tennessee two weeks ago: The Baron & Baroness of the Barony of Glaedenfeld are not only very handsome, they are also very nice and gentle. And they are definitely one of my favorite couples within the SCA. Yeah, I can’t help it, I am a helpless romantic… 🙂

    And finally a picture of the OvO pouch with the medieval islamic inspired embroidery which I put together for Gloria, my awesome mother-in-law. (OvO -> Order of the velvet Owl, Kingdom of Meridies, SCA) Yeah, this quite special piece of medieval islamic inspired embroidery was the super secret project on which I was working on from the first day of January until our favorite SCA event – Gulf Wars – in March. And at Gulf Wars Gloria finally got introduced into the Order of the velvet Owl. Just right before the knighting ceremony of her son, my dear husband. And not a moment too soon as keeping this project secret was killing me… 😉

    Scriptorium – my Kings Champion scroll for coronation :)

    2017/04/11

    …and finally a picture of the Kings Champion “scroll” which His Majesty Bryce commissioned for coronation: This is the second “viking scroll”, as I call them, which I made so far. …and apropos second “viking scroll” – maybe you remember my very first “viking scroll” for Kail’s knighting. Ok, I admit that Kail’s knighting scroll turned out so much better than I initially thought but I am still quite surprised about the fact that I was commissioned with not only one but two “viking scrolls” till now. *lol* I really can’t repeat it often enough – this is not my field of expertise! *lol*

    Back from Gulf Wars!!!! :D

    2017/03/20

    *Wooohooo* I am back from Gulf Wars! As awesome as Gulf Wars was, it is indeed great to be back home. Several days of camping is always a good reminder how great the luxury of a modern bathroom is. A bathroom which one only has to share with ones sweetheart…  And after the cold snap during most of Gulf Wars, I now tremendously enjoy our modern heating system at home. Damn, that where some really cold nights but we made the best out of it. Garb layering was tested until it was deemed sufficient and it seemed like everyone pulled out their best furs in order to keep warm. And then there were all this wonderful camp fires around which we gathered. Many…

  • positive review  Racaire makes beautiful and period pieces from A-Z! My little family proudly owns three of her bags, which are extremely durable and gorgeous! My daughter (5 years old) even has her own sized bag! They go to every event with us and often I use mine as my purse in mundane life. Racaire will only make and sell items which will stand the test of time and is extremely detailed in everything she does. I recommend 10/10!

    positive review  She’s a very talented artist and sews beautifully! My custom bag was hand stamped with her own cut stamps in beautiful Gold paint, and the design looked perfect on the bag. If you need a bag for a purse or knapsack, and with any design you can think of, purchase it from this wonderful lady! ***** (5 stars)

I promised a friend who does awesome meals in the I promised a friend who does awesome meals in the instapot to also show more of my cooking to repay her kindness. 

Today I take you through my process of making one of my favs - Rindsrouladen (beef-rouladen). Sorry for not taking more pics but it can get quite messy with the mustard.

So, I got me a lovely piece of beef that was labeled for stew and showed a nice big coherent piece. It was actually one of the cheapest cuts at the meet counter and I normally cut away all the excess and fat and put it through the meet grinder for medium rare burgers or meet balls. From this piece I cut as many rather thin slices as possible and put the rest through the meet grinder. Btw. if you don't have a meet grinder, you can also cut the rest of the beef into thin slices and make a nice beef stir fry.

So, now to the Rouladen - I put some mustard on the beef slice, pepper it, put some pickle slices on it, when I am in the mood I also add carrot sticks in the middle but not today. Then I roll them up and as I always forget to get toothpicks, I use some cord to bind them so the layers stay in place. I put my instapot on saute/high, add some fat and when it is hot, I brown the Rouladen on all sides. If you get some liquid while you are browning it, you can carefully remove the inner pot and pour it into a bowl for later use and continue browning.

When the browning is done, I remove the Rouladen and add carrots and onions and brown them. When they have a nice shine I add about 2 cups of liquid (in this case the meet juice from my last piece of beef I cut in the instapot and saved in a reused Barilla jar - no extra seasoning as this "juice" has plenty in it). If I have some unused pickle slices left, I normally chop them up and add them to the pot. Then I add my OXO silicon ring and arrange the Rouladen on it. I put my instapot on 25 min/pressure cook/normal or low setting (Natural release).

To serve I take out the Rouladen, remove the silicon ring and get to the natural sauce with carrots and onion. I normally start my rice as soon as I start the pressure cooking.

I am so excited! Donated my super long hair and my I am so excited! Donated my super long hair and my awesome friend @hellomolly___ gave me an amazing haircut and a striking blue-emerald dye job! I can't get enough of my new haircut and hair color and it is so much less weight now that more than half of my hair is gone!
💙💚💙

I already had a similar hairstyle about 20 years ago - it will be awesome when the temperatures get up again. A perfect hairstyle for me for the summer in the Florida panhandle! And as a bonus I feel like she turned back my inner clock by at least 15years - I feel so much younger! Feel like going out and getting me a blue and emerald green lipstick! Lol

Well, it was time for some change but not without Well, it was time for some change but not without making sure to save some hair for the wig making program that makes wigs for kids with cancer.
Now I feel better in so many ways - that's quite some weight off my head, will make life so much easier and help a kid with cancer to feel better thanks to my fabulous neighbor @hellomolly___ ! ❤️
First step is to save the hair more is still to come!
