Good morning BMDL-

I must proclaim how humbled I am at the amount of support – help – offers to carry – etc that I have received in order to put out the day board at Agincourt on Saturday. I am going to most doubtedly miss someone so I ask all gentles to tag those people to make sure they are aware of my appreciation. I had a wonderful time “feeding all the people!l and look forward to the next time I get the chance to do so…

To (Shawn MacIntyre) and (Sunshine MacIntyre) for putting on an amazing event and continually checking to make sure we had everything we needed.

To Jennifer Ja Strobel for one year ago allowing me to make a cake and having the faith in me to ask me to cook the dayboard and share her kitchen.

To Brie Montgomery and Antoinette de la Croix for the dayboard menu scroll. To Nicola Kendall for the feast menu scroll. To Kristina Kaufman – Ashling for the description cards for the dayboard.

The following three ladies spent months planning with me and hours of prepping to make key items on the dayboard happen and to be most delicious. Without them – this could have happened. It was an honor and a pleasure to cook and learn from you in the kitchen.

Lynn Harvey- your hand made noodles and Mac n cheese was awesome. You – your husband and son were so much help.

Suzanne Ackley-Perot for let alone making the drive to the event and for the scrumptious chicken and wafers. I hope to repay the help in February.

Cassandra Nelson- for curing and smoking the pork – the mustard – the sauerkraut the unbelievable smoked olives and for the calmness when I went – oh they are gonna hate the food.

On Friday and Saturday the following people “did the thing” and made our game a reality. Thank you so very much and please let me know when I can repay the helping hands.

April McCoy Duncan – your husband and your boys
Lake Strobel
Ray Strobel
Ottilige von Rappoltsweiler

Please share with anyone that I may have missed and know I am truly moved by our Barony and friends. Thank you so very much.

Yours in Service –

Lady Zianna Beguy Urdina de Zabaleta

This past weekend was Agincourt and, again, it was my absolute honor and pleasure to be the feast cook.

A feast only happens due to the contributions and talents of many people. Without them, it would be impossible to do what I do and they truly deserve the lion’s share of the thanks.

The gentles who made the feast happen:

Ulf Halfdansson
Rynea von Lingen
Joshua Trinidad
Dorothea Stark Schultz
Kearn MacLeod
Amanda Lake
Sarab bint Alima
Halfdan Drake Rauthkin
Alva Halfdaansdottir

Thank you to Katja for keeping track of food allergies and preferences so that the right food made it to the right people.

Also, a big thank you to Katja Davida Orlova and Kieran MacRay for washing a ton of dishes during feast prep and dinner.

I also wish to thank the folks who came in to clean up the kitchen. Thank you for allowing the kitchen staff to sit down and eat dinner after 9 hours on their feet. You are very much appreciated.

If there is anyone that I missed, please know that it is entirely unintentional and please let me know if I did miss you so that I may thank you publicly for your service.

I have special thanks for my dependents Lijsbet de Keukere, Ottilige von Rappoltsweiler, and Zianna Beguy Urdina de Zabaleta for inspiring me as a cook, as a Laurel, and as a friend. I also would like to thank my husband Kieran MacRay and daughter Aletha Cowle for supporting my work, helping me load/unload two cars, and for making their own dinner for the week before the event while I pre-cooked.
