In the mundane world the Barony of Hawkwood and the SCA are making headlines!
First up, we have an article that appeared in the Mountain Xpress July 16th, 2013 and it was written by, Edwin Arnaudin . The article features an interview with our very own Seneschal Lord Fionn MacKonnell about the SCA and what we are about. If you havent read it yet, it is repeated here for your enjoyment.
different from Ren Fairs in that its about sharing; not just watching, but participating. Hawkwood distinguishes itself with a recognized and respected rapier community, but is also becoming known for its scribal work. Members scrolls are becoming noticed at competitions and the groups dancing, through currently small, is seeing interest increase. I would also like to think that we excel at our sense of humor, Coleman says. Though the variety of activities may seem daunting, the SCA welcomes newcomers and is eager to help steer them toward their interests. For inquisitive beginners without an era-appropriate wardrobe of their own, members do their best to find workable clothing at events. Loaner gear is always available and as long as an effort is made, even tying towels around one's neck as a makeshift tunic is welcomed. We want everyone to have fun and feel like theyre experiencing the best that time period had to offer, Coleman says. One isnt required to pay dues to participate in the SCA, but membership comes with discounts at events, a personalized SCA card that makes check-in at these events easier, access to monthly publications, and the potential to hold an office. While the fun and camaraderie during events is a prime attraction, the SCAs benefits extend beyond weekends and into daily life. Everyone has worth and is considered at least minor nobility, so that all are treated with a modicum of respect. Likewise, the focus on romantic chivalry doesnt end when the w ork week begins, as members look for opportunities to be of service in the world and act accordingly. This friendly spirit will next be on display during a recruitment event in downtown Asheville on Saturday, July 20, followed by a garb-making get-together the following day from 1-5 p.m. at the Enka-Candler Library. About two months later, one of Hawkwoods two major annual events kicks off with Games & Gluttony 2 on Sept. 28 at the Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church in Candler. Armored and rapier fighting are planned, amid a generous food spread and general good cheer, with a particular focus on handmade dice and card games of the time. We want more participation however we can get it, since more people equals more research, Coleman says. What drives me is that Im well aware that lots of people really need what the SCA has to offer but they dont know about it.
The Barony of Hawkwood makes the news again, this time within the borders of Atlantia

Family of Faith Fellowship Church hosts an informal presentation for bible camp.
A few weeks ago a co-worker of Lord Gilbert de Chtillon, asked if some of us in the Barony would like to give a small informal presentation for his churchs bible camp and the theme was medieval times. Plans were made and the presentation was given for the children of the bible camp on Thursday July 18th 2013. Lord Edward Godale was the main speaker and photographer for the presentation. Lady Gracia Slay, Lady Heather Hrafnsdottir and Lord Gilbert de Chtillon gave short presentations on scrolls and weaponry and medieval life. To make things a little more interactive, Lord Edward gave the children a lesson in dance at the end of the presentation and all of the children had a good time. The dashing Lord Gilbert, the lovely ladies, Lady Gracia and Lady Heather are shown in the following photographs giving their presentations.
What other things interest you in the SCA? I am always interested in seeing the crafts people create. I have dabbled in scroll making and dancing. I have always wanted to get into equestrian activities as well but time does not always permit committed involvement. What is your favorite event? I have yet to go to a large war but I am sure I will love that. So far Hawkwood Birthday was the most fun I have had at an event. Do you have other hobbies outside the SCA? I like board games, role playing games, some computer games, reading (fantasy, history, historical fiction), and indulging in fancy Belgian beer. What advice do you have for newcomers? I would say to dabble. Try many things to find out what you like. Even if you pick something to focus on, it is good to branch out and support what others are doing. If you stay too narrowly focused on one aspect of the SCA, you lose the overall sense of the medieval world that everyone has come together to build.

The time is how long it takes me to tell the story. Your milage may vary. The italicized phrases in square brackets are like stage directions. I am a very kinetic storyteller; I move about a lot. If thats not your style, you should drop the stage directions. Or you can drop or change the stage directions if you like. If you do remove the stage directions, you might need to tell the audience whats going on, since youre not s howing them. And remember, if youre not having fun, youre not doing it right. English Stories The Peddler of Swaffhem From Favorite Folktales from Around the World page 414. Time: 2:32 The peddler woke up that morning and shook his wife awake. [Excited] Wife, wife, I have just had a dream! [Groggy] So? Many people have dreams when they sleep. But this is the third night in a row I have had this dream! [Big sigh.] So what was this dream of yours? I dreamt that if I went to London bridge I would find a great treasure! Why did you wake me up for this? To tell you that I am going to London bridge. London? But it is so far away! Which is why Im leaving right away! And the peddler was as good as his word. It took him three days to walk from his home in Swaffhem to London bridge, but when he got there, [pause, show confusion] he didnt know what to do. The bridge was guarded, and he had no idea where to look for his treasure. After he had been there for three days, a guard walked up to him. Ive seen you here for three days now, neither selling goods nor begging alms. What are you doing here? [Feeling slightly foolish, hang head slightly, speaks hesitantly] Um - I dreamt that if I came to London bridge I would find a great treasure. [Laughing] Foolish man! Why, I dreamt three nights in a row about treasure, too. I dreamt that it was under an oak tree in front of the house of a peddler in Swaffhem. But you dont see me making that long journey! There is no treasure here, go home and dont follow dreams anymore. [Really? Cool! Beaming] Thank you, kind sir, for your excellent advice. As soon as he got home he dug beneath the great oak in front of his house and found a chest full of treasure. He was a generous man, and the people of the town profited from the peddlers treasure as much as the peddler himself. So they put up a statue of the peddler, with his sack on his back and his little dog following. And it has stood there from that day to this.

Baked Zucchini
*Note from Chronicler - this recipe appeared on the web from Skinny town USA. The directions were a bit confusing as the chef or author used a narrative method in giving the directions. I made this recipe for my family and adapted the directions and ingredients to suit our tastes. My husband and I enjoyed it and if mlord Thomas will eat it, it must be good! *
Ingredients: 3 large zucchinis Large onion, chopped 1 Tablespoon butter 5-6 slices Smoked bacon, chopped (we love bacon so I used more!) 1 Tablespoon of sour cream - teaspoon of salt teaspoon of curry powder 1 Roma tomato seeded and chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (ground thyme will do if you dont have fresh) Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (if you dont want to grate it yourself you can find small pouche s of shredded in the dairy aisle along with other shredded cheeses) Fresh cracked or course ground pepper You can omit the bacon for a vegetarian dish or use other vegetables and olives. Directions: 1. Give the zucchini a quick wash for good measure. 2. Slice in half lengthwise. Leave the ends on to keep the filling in. 3. Leaving a ledge of zucchini around the edges, scoop out the flesh with a melon baller or a spoon and reserve. 4. Arrange the zucchini boats in a baking dish. Chop the reserved zucchini flesh and place in a bowl and set aside.
5. Finely chop a sweet onion and set aside. 6. Fry up the bacon, drain well on paper towels and then chop. Drain off remaining bacon grease from the pan, reserving just a bit for sauting the onions OR drain off all grease and add 1 Tablespoon of butter for sauting. 7. Add onions to the pan add curry powder and saut, until done and remove from the heat. 8. To the zucchini, add sour cream. Rough chop the thyme leaves and add. Add onions and bacon to the zucchini season further to taste. 9. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and make sure they are seeded or else there will be too much moisture in the mixture. 10. Refill the zucchini boats with the filling mixture. 11. Depending which you use, grate or sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese on each zucchini boat and then top with fresh cracked pepper. 12. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with more grated cheese if desired. Enjoy!
