says to ALL: after grabbing my cloak and boots i made my way out
the back of the MeadHall, through the kitchen entrance and down
along the path, heading to the animal pens, humming softly as i
walked along the muddied path, long flaxen locks bouncing across
shoulders and back as the day was warm enough not to bundle
oneself up...

says to ALL: coming up to the door that led into the vulo pens,
i looked about a ehn, and then grabbed down one of the wicker
baskets as i slid past the entrance into the building, looking
round quickly to assess the situation, and eyeing each of the
foul fowl with narrowed eyes, these birds and i had a love hate
relationship going on here, basically, i loved ta hatem, and
they seemed to do the same twards me

says to ALL: holding the basket close, in case i needed to use
it for a weapon if one of them decided to get ornery with me,
striding across the room to where the roosts were, sighing
softly as it seemed most were out in the yard area, enjoying the
first warm days of spring, this would make it easier as i
quickly headed to the first one and slid my hand into the straw
nest, grabbing up each round globe of goodness and pulling them
back out and into my basket, and then sliding my hand in again
to ensure there was none hid within the straw and grasses, these
birds were sneaky, grinning as fingertips caressed over some
more hard shells, scooping them up and adding these as well.

says to ALL: moving down to the next roost and like the first i
slid my hand in, collected the eggs up and added to the basket,
and as before went in for a second look, finding nothing this
time, frowning slightly, and then moving to the next and the
next, continuing my hunt for eggs to fill my basket for the
kitchen Jarl and other things...

where i started, the basket full near to the rim with the vulo
eggs, smiling as i placed the basket down for a ehn, and grabbed
up two handfuls of sa tarna grain and added to the feeding
trough, and then picking up the basket once more and exiting the
building, breathing in a deep draught of clean air, the smell in
the vulo pen was...less than desireable, making a note to air it
out next time i was here...

says to ALL: after wiping down the tabletop i moved to the cold
room and opened the door, giving a quick shiver as the cool air
washed over me,
feeling my nipples growing taut against the woolen fabric of my
kirtle as i rushed in and grabbed down two pitchers of bosk
milk, turning and
moving out of the room and over to my table, placing them down
and turning around, quickly rushing back in and grabbing up two
more pitchers and
doing the same, moving out and placig them down beside the first
two, then once again moving over to the cold room and entering,
now accustomed to

i then moved to the door

to see if i could spot any of the male slaves about, the sun was
slowly setting
but the air still had the warm tinge to it that would dissapate
once the orb had set for the evening, casting my gaze about and
then spotting two
thralls lounging near a tree, lazy oafs...putting two fingers to

was going to do..."greetings, verdandi needs you both to bring
in the waterproofed box over there", pointing to a large square
deep box of crafted
wood that was leaning against the wall of the Hall, as they
looked and nodded and moved to bring it in, i quickly grabbed
the posts for the legs
for the contraption and moved back into the kitchen, waiting on
them, placing the palm of my hand against each pitcher to see if
they were
warming...nodding as they did feel warmer

contraption in and over to where i was, pointing to where i
needed it placed, and as
they hefted it up so that it was elevated off the floor, i then
slide the posts into the slots that had been carved into the
frame to act as
supports, then nodding for them to place it on the ground,
smiling as it remained standing on its own...and then waving

storage areas and lifted and moved things aside, looking for
something in
particular, something i had seen once whilst looking for
something else...putting crates aside, and some casks, rolls of
skins and then crowing as
i finally found what i needed and wanted, pulling out the rolled
up treated hide that was rendered waterproof from special
tanning
treatments...runnning a hand over it a moment before i moved

the underside , and carefully unrolling the treated skin and
sliding the slitted
ends through hooks there, till it formed a funnel like shape, at
which time i then slid a bucket along the floor and under where
the funnel
ended..this is where any fluids would collect, smiling as i then
stood up straight again and moved to another area of the kitchen
to collect
another utensil i would be needing later on...once again placing

looking for one in

first pitcher of milk and testing the temperature against the
bare flesh of my arm, nodding as it was as close to room
temperature as needed to begin, with care i tilt the end over
the box and slowly pour the bosk milk within, emptying the
entire pitcher and placing it aside, then grabbing the next and
doing so again, repeating the process till all the pitchers were
empty and letting the milk settle a few ehns after the sloshing

says to ALL: as the last of the ripples fade from the surface of
the milk, i reach over and wrap my fingers round the small pot i
had also brought over, the, magic that would be added to the
milk to cause it to go from one state to another, i was not a
learned female, all i knew was that this was added to the milk,
and it would change the milk into cheese, and that is all i
needed to know...pulling the top off and then tilting and
letting the clear liquid slowly drip into the milk, pouring a
line down the center of the milk from one end of the box to the
other...humming softly to myself

patting it dry with a cloth and placing on a counter where the
Kitchen Jarl would see and see to it that more was procured from

says to ALL: while i waited for the rennet to curdle and
seperate the fat solids from the liquid or whey, i moved to
another counter and took down a carved wooden container and
placed it withing working area, then pulled the mortar and
pestle to set it in front of me, these were carved from the
stone of the North, solid and heavy, a good stone for this type
of use, the Carver that had crafted it had gone a step further
than simply pecking out the bowl of the mortar and had adorned
the outside with intricate knotwork and many Torvie sigils, some
she recognized as totems of the Gods, the raven for the All
Father, a lightning slash for Thor, running my fingertips along
the carved indents lovingly..

says to ALL: pulling the lid off the wooden container and diving
my hand within, gripping a handful of what was within and
retracting it, my fist full of blackwine beans, blackened from
the good roasting the Merchant had given them afore selling them
to the Trader whom then more than likely lost them to a Raid by
one of mijn Jarls, smiling at that thought as i dumped the beans
into the bowl and then took up the pestle, and with a quick
prayer to the gods i brought it down hard to crack the first and
then i began the rthymic pounding, crushing them down slowly,
grinding them against the stone inside of the mortar, grinding
them into powder that would then be used to create the drink
that the Free enjoyed, even now the aroma the beans gave off was
intoxicating to my senses, humming a song to keep the rthym as i
pounded and ground them down

says to ALL: continuing to hum softly as i kept up my pace,
grinding down the beans into powder, occsionally catching a bit
and hearing the crunch as it caved under the weight and pressure
of the pestle, my foot tapping out a beat on the floorboards as
i worked away, till finally i heard no more crunching neath the
utensil and looked down to see everything had been pulverized
into black dust, smiling softly as i then laid the pestle aside
and turned round to the cannister up on the shelf, pulling it
down and pulling the lid off, taking a scoop and with care,
filling it with the blackwine powder and then dumping it into
the cannister with the rest...slowly emptying the mortar of the
powder and filling the cannister till i had gathered as much as
i could with the scoop, placing that aside and grabbing a clean
cheesecloth and using only one side of the cloth, wiping the
inside of the mortar to get all the remaining powder..at which
point i placed the cloth within the cannister, nothing goes to
waste...nodding and putting the lid back on and putting it back
on the shelf as i then moved back to my soon to be curded
milk....

says to ALL: moving back to the milk filled box and after making
sure my fingertip was clean of any blackwine powder residue, i
gently pressed down upon the surface of the milk, and rather
than it sliding into the liquid as easily as water, there was
give, as if it refused to part for my digit, nodding with a

says to ALL: moving round the otherside of the box and grasping
up the large wooden comb, i then move to the one side of the box
and slowly slide the combs teeth, down into the gelatinous milk
curd, and then trying to keep them as straight as possible i
slowly pull them through the curd, slicing them into long
strips, this will help release the whey from the curds, pulling
the comb all the way to the other side of the box, and then
continue again along the same path, cutting more lines through
the curd, humming softly...and then moving at a right angle from
the direction i had been, cutting the curd into smaller lengths,
turning them more into curds ...

from the goopy mess and scraped off any residue on the comb back
into the box..and then placed it aside to be cleaned once i had
done one more thing. moving down to kneel beside the box and
reaching an arm underneath to grasp the cork there, and with a
quick twist and jerk i pulled it free and pulled my arm back, it
wasnt a gushing wave of liquid that came rushing out, but i
didnt want to taint it with any touching my flesh, hearing it
drip drip drip down onto the treated skin and then the wooden
dripping sound of the whey falling into the bucket, i smiled and
stood up once more, taking up the comb and moving to the
washbasin

says to ALL: moving to the washbasin with the comb and with
great care do i then wash it thoroughly with the soapy water,
making sure nothing remained on the utensil, as it would sour
and then reek, and possibly contaminate the next task the comb
was put into use for, examining it carefully as i rinsed it,
even going so far as to sniff all along the tines of the comb to
ensure nothing was missed, then i patted it dry with a clean
cloth, and again gave it a good sniff test, nodding with a smile
and then moving to put it back where i had found it...

wooden molds from another shelf, wiping each one down carefully
as i looked to the box and tried to judge just how many i would
need, thinking five would be sufficient, and then moving back to
the table and placing them down, then turning and into motion
again as i headed to where the cloths were stored, pulling open
the cabinet door and pulling out ten cheese cloths, each
carefully folded...closing the doors and turning around again,

one cheesecloth at at a time and unfolding it, then draping it
down over the top of the mold, as flat as possible, listening
intently to the dripping of the whey within the bucket, nodding
as it was still constant, lot of liquid to drain out, course i
would be ensuring more would be pressed out shortly, but it
would be easier if a good portion had already been gravity
drained...

utensils were hanging on pegs, i took down a large iron ladle,
and then moved to the curds in the box, and then carefully
ladling out scoops of curds and depositing them onto the first
cheeseclothed mold, watching the fabric bend under the weight
and slowly begin to fill the void within the mold, adding more
and more curds till there was a small hillock formed past the
top of the mold, then i continued to do the same with the next
four molds, humming softly as i worked away

says to ALL: continuing to fill each mold with the curds as the
box quickly emptied, the more i took away, the faster the whey
within seemed to drain out, soon there was only a residue of
whey within the box, once again, nothing goes to waste, the whey
would go to feeding the tarsk or into a meal or such,...and i
quickly washed and rinsed the ladle, before i moved back and
covered the curds with the second cheesecloth i had brought out
for each mold, and slowly using my hands, pressed down upon the
cloth, forcing more whey out through the bottom to leak along
the tables surface and drip to the floor, this was unavoidable,
i had to get the liquid out, and the curds into the shape of the
mold before i could even think about using a press

says to ALL: moving from mold to mold pressing down with my
hands, pushing the curds down into shape, forcing out the whey,
feeling the floor getting wet and slippery as i worked.. Once
that was done, i took the first mold over to the press and
placed it on the board, taking a circle of wood that had been
cut to fit just inside the mold and placing it down on the top
of the cloth,moving to the side and adjusting the arm so that
the head of the press was firmly against that circle of wood, i
then pulled down on the handle,...the increased pressure of what
i was doing, caused a gush of whey to spill forth from the curds
within...lifting the handle and seeing the form was lower within
i nodded and added another circle of wood, and then pulled the
handle down again...watching as less and less whey ran from
within...smiling as i then pulled the mold out, placed the
circles aside, and lifted the cloth off the top, seeing the
curds had been pressed into a smooth, firm form of
cheese...reaching into a bowl near the press and lifting out a
pinch of sea salt,sprinkling this over the crust of the cheese,
and then letting it plop out into my hand, putting the mold
aside along with the other cheesecloth and giving the underside
a quick sprinkle of salt as well, then moving to a small
sideroom and placing the cheese up ona shelf to age....moving
back into the room and beginning the process again with the
reamining four cheeses till all was done

pulling the door open and peeking my head inside, not too fast
or all the way in, in case there was a bosk there, that was not
in the best of moods...sighing in relief as i looked about, the
animals were all within their individual pens, munching on their
feed or cud, a few turned their heads to look in my direction,
the deep red of their eyes focusing on my form and i shuddered a
moment...then, steeling my will i moved into the building and
closed the door behind me, and moving to the first female bosk,
its udders hanging heavy with the milk within..

bosk, making soothing sounds and calls, i did NOT want to freak
her out, one good kick from any of her hooves would most likely
be the end of ver and i had too much to live for, once at the
bosks side i put down the stool, and bucket, and placed my hands
together and began to rub them together, causing friction and
warming my hands, i had seen a bondmaid once grab onto the
udders with cold hands, that bond had been sent flying when the
animal hadnt taken kindly to the coldness of her fingers...once
i was satisifed my hands were warm enough in sat down on the
stool and pulled the bucket underneath her udders, still making
the calming noises and running one hand over the females side to
let her get used to my presence...and then, once she had lost
interest in me did i finally wrap my fingers round the teats and
squeezing gently, i pulled down with my left hand, watching the
milk squirt into the bucket beneath...

but i made sure that i would get as much as she was willing to
give, knowing the calves if any had been fed earlier in the day
and i was getting what was left, it would also bring some relief
to the animal, ver had heard of bosk females dying from udders
that remained full from calves being killed in the wild and

empty, patting the bosks side as i rose and grabbed the bucket
and stool and moved on to the next animal, singing softly,
letting the animals know i was close and was not giving off any
negative emotes that would put them off

says to ALL: placing the stool down and the bucket neath the
udders as i once again warmed my hands and then began to milk
the bosk, talking with nonsense words and noises, doing my best
to put the animal at ease as i milked her

says to ALL: the rest of the ahn was taken up with milking each
bosk to get as much milk from them as i could, working the
udders on the beasties an making sure not to annoy them and
avoid being kicked, humming softly as i worked away, and sooner
than i had thought, the chore was completed and i wiped my arm
across my forehead, the muscles in my shoulders were letting me
know they were not impressed, but it was a good ache, smiling as
i pulled the bucket and stool away from the last animal and put
the seat away, and left the bucket at the door before i took up
a sack of grain and filled the troughs of the animals in thanks
for the gift of the milk, then moved out from the building with
my bucket of white gold
