    Medieval Cookery Seminar

    I didn't start the thread to defend his conclusions, just report my recollections as requested by Mark CMG. As mentioned earlier I invited Mr. Myers to check out the thread. Hopefully he'll check it out and clarify things himself. For those interested, his web site has many links and a...

    Medieval Cookery Seminar

    I believe it was next in the list. Another ramble is that raisins were very common in the recipes. The recipe usually called for soaking them in wine to soften them up. Apparently raisins were common because they could be stored for a long time. Sure they get hard like little rocks, but...

    Medieval Cookery Seminar

    Mark CMG requested more information about this seminar. The seminar was presented by Daniel Myers. He's done research into the subject using original French and English cookbooks. He expected about a half dozen people to attend, but the seminar was standing room only. He has a website at...

    Something missing at GenCon this year?

    Its unlikely. While all the details remain to be ironed out, the Colts are getting a new retractable roof stadium south of the current RCA dome. After the Colts move, the RCA dome will be demolished and the convention center will expand. In addition, a new Conrad hotel is being built...

    Something missing at GenCon this year?

    I was afraid to bring it up, but I agree something was missing. I've had a hard time putting my finger on exactly what it was. I agree the booth babes weren't what they were the past couple years. Some of the releases I was anticipating were either not available, sold out, or available as...

    Indianapolis bus schedules/routes?

    Indy's public transit system is nearly non-existant. You can check out rates and routes at Indygo.net, however, I wouldn't recommend using the buses here. Rent a car or better yet take a taxi, then you won't have to pay for parking. Parking prices will be outrageous Saturday due to a home...

    Gencon Couples, Help me!

    The Indianapolis Indians play at home every day during Gen Con (Durham Bulls on Thursday, Scranton Red Barons Friday-Sunday). Victory Field is just west of the convention center. If you like football, the Colts have a home pre-season game against the Bears Saturday night. There's a three...

    How many countries have you visited?

    United States Canada Iceland Luxemburg Germany Austria Switzerland Mexico Portugal Spain The palace of Alhambra in Spain is absolutely gorgeous. It makes castles/palaces I've visited in northern Europe of the same period look like hovels (IMO). If any of you have the opportunity to visit...

    Where would you place Freeport in GH?

    I've placed it in the Azure Sea south/southwest of the Principality of Ulek between Fairwind Isle and the Pomarj. Its far enough south to have a subtropical climate, and provides the pirates easy access to the sea routes

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    I don't remember what I killed first. My first character was quickly dispatched by an owlbear. Have you seen the cover of Kenzer's Little Keep on the Borderlands? The halfling with a cloud of bloody red mist in place of a face is pretty much what happen to me.
