is Standing around or seated at the many tables within the Hall
of Shields
says to ALL: -Her gaze danced about the hall putting the sketch
aside for the moment. She felt to idle to useless. Shakign Her
head She rose determined to set hands to something and slipping
between the table and benches She stole for the kitchen drifting
within to let eyes chase over everything for a moment.-

says to ALL: -moving toward the basin a jug of water to its left
She poured a little to the bowl and washed Her hands swiftly . A
rep cloth stolen she dried fingers and turned to look at the
food stores. She had heard mention that there was a little fruit
available earlier. That appraising gaze fell upon some larma's
nearby.. Not the juicy segmented fruit that the bods might offer
cheekily to their Jarls. But the harder fruit that would work
wonderfully with a little honey and perhaps some cherries that
must have made their way up form Tyros. But first She needed to
make pastry. She tugged a lace that held her right sleeve in
place and unthreaded it before taking an Ihn to roll up sleeves.
The lace was soon used to gather her hair kept normally unbound
as all unmated Torvie Women did, and plait and tie it out of Her
way. Then turned to start picking up items. A large bowl several
spoons.. some eggs..some sugar, a square of butter, a small sack
of flour and a little salt. The butter in it's dish was placed
near the brazier to warm a little whislt She drew the large bowl
close. Flour was measured into the bowl by the spoonful. She
paused an ihn trying to calculate how much was needed before
continuing and doubling the amount. Putting the bag of flour
aside as it may still be needed then moved to take the Sugar. It
took was measured by spoon in swift glistening drifts that
tumbled into the bowl like the first snowfall of winter..
Sparkling in the half light of the lamps nearby. Turning to
collect the butter She laid the dish to the counter then began
cubing the softened yellowy mass She dropped in about half of
the dish before moving to put the butter back within the cold
rooms depths.-

says to ALL: -Returned to the counter . Her hands delved into
the bowl with sleeves pushed up around her elbows. The coil of
the braid bouncing against the nape of Her bare neck as She set
to the task of rubbing the butter into the flour and sugar. The
butter clung to fingers making them fat and sticky fluffy in
places where the three ingredients had combined. She pushed the
butter off her digits and redipped them continuing to rub flour
sugar and butter until within the bowl it lay like small crumbs
of bread. Hands reached for the hard shells of the vulo eggs
soon deftly cracked and dropped within the bowl. The small
yellows looked up at her mini suns all captured within the dish.
But soon She had started to rub those into the mix also. It soon
began to look like a disaster. Gloopy mess stuck to hands as She
continued to work. It was starting to gather wanting to form a
ball but not quite able to. She used the spoon to scrap off Her
hands..washed them once more..then added just a touch of cold
water to the mixtue in the bowl. When hands reentered She was
able to bring the dough together. It soon formed a ball and left
the sides of the bowl clean. A piece of rep was palced over the
bowl before She turned for the coldroom and put the pastry
within to rest for awhile-

says to ALL: with that done Her attentions could now turn to the
fruit. She pondered a moment. Whilst the Women of the home and
bonds of course seemed to very much like sweet things at least
the few She knew well, perhaps the Men might not..at least not
to sweet. Her brain rolled thinking before She turned to the
shelves and took up a few spices.. The spice would hopefully cut
the sweetness and if She substituted half the sugar for honey..
then it would balance better. She smield relieved an putting the
spices down drew a fresh bowl near only to take up a knife and a
hard larma. She soon deftly began to removed the skin then slit
it gently in half. One half came away easily..the other left
with the single pit within. The knife thunked down hard against
the stone..an when pulled away the stone came free. She placed
it aside wondering if something could be done with the stones
form the larma.. they wouldn't grow obviously. But perhaps if
dried and painted they could be used. Her thoughts wandered off
in multiple directions as She sliced the fruit and then started
again on another until the bowl was nearly full of the slices-

says to ALL: -After squeezing in a little lemon juice to stop
the slices discoloring, She put the fruit within the cold room a
cloth over the bowl. Leaving it for the moment so the pastry
could get several ahns of proper rest to give it the best chance
of being short and crumbly. She would continue with this a
little later-((When She didn't suddenly feel like she was on a
waltzer at high speed. bbs home feeling sick))

says to ALL: -right before things had gone to Hell She had had
a plan an had been fully intent on carrying that plan forward.
Taking a moment to wash hands in a small bowl, scrubbing them as
diligently as if She were in surgery, She was soon ready to
continue with those blasted pies She had started before thigns
got.. icky. Taking a moment to step into the cold storage Her
gaze wandered seeking the pastry that had been made. Eventually
it was found upon a low shelf causing a sigh of relief to escape
lips. It wouldn't have been to much of a problem to make new
pastry but She wasn't In the mood to be covered in flour. The
covered bowl was gathered into hands pulled close as She turned
to step from the chilled room. Not that She felt it much. The
bowl was soon placed upon a surface as She tried to remember
what fillings She was going to use. Of course with supplies
likely to have shifted She may have to adjust Her plan. -

says to ALL: As susp ected the fruit She had sliced was gone,
used before it could go bad as all supplies were here but she
was able to see a recent raid of spoils had bought in another
haul. Her gaze danced over the fruit finding more of the hard
larma She had Intended originally for the pies. They didn't hold
the stigma of their juicy counterparts mercifully. But also a
few tospits nestled amougst the fruit. She glanced at the two
with a smile before taking several of each gathering them into
Her skirt apron before placing them upon the counter top. That
was one pies filling.. but She had pastry for three.. A single
digit tapped lightly against Her jaw. Arnvid wasn't much a sweet
person.. perhaps some of the other Men felt the same. Without
taking over the main meal perhaps the pastry could be turned to
a treat for them. Still that left the filling for the third.
There were no cherries this time around. That was the thing with
raids You never knew what the Men would bring home. Be it
fruit.. hordes or bonds.-

says to ALL: -She slipped back within the cool of the chilled
room keeping most fo their stocks that weren't salted fresh. The
quiet tred of booted feet only betrayed by the swish of skirts
as She gazed over shelf after shelf. Letting Her brain wander in
errant concotions fo differeing recepies.. Pausing near the
hanging meats. Her fingers reaching for a small haunch of tarsk
to be cut for the savory pie..She had a small brainwave. With an
adjusted recipe She could make a spiced pie with the eggs and
make something different for the savory. The side of tarsk still
needed remained in her rgasp before fingers reached for the legs
of two plucked vulo removing them form their hooks as She turned
on heels and stepped back for the warm glow of the kitchen-

says to ALL: -Placing the meats to the counter her hands were
rewashed, old habits die hard, before She palced the fruit She
had previously gathered into a bowl so for the moment it lay out
of the way. Taking one of the smaller metal spit rods She
skewered the two birds and turned for the hearth carefully
slotting the rod into its place before pulling the chain that
would turn the handle by weights rather than Her having to set
some poor bond to turn it by hand. Her minds briefly raced
through a calculation of how long it would be ebfore the brids
were roasted. Nodding to Herself She took one of the shaprper
cleavers and stepped back to the counter to start on the haunch
of tarsk. The metal slid through the meat like butter belying
the fact it had once been a living creature. It was now simply a
cold object that the metal was made to carve. The slices of
tarsk fell before the blade and crinkled overlapping like
ribbons. She slaiced 20 in total the tarsk merely to add flavour
to the belly of the dish before lifting the haunch and turning
back for the cold room returning it to its place of hanging-

says to ALL: - A skillet swiftly stolen and placed over the
brazier was greased with a small knob of butter before she began
to lay the strips of meat within. The fat hissed and spat in
protest but her gaze simply watched with calm. Each piece was
turned after a few moments ehn of cooking. The fat eventually
turning golden. It was removed and lain upon a plate as more
slices found the skillets flat. Her brain ever turning was
listing the other ingredients She would need. but such was usual
for Her state . She might often be quiet but She was always
considering something. With the last tarsk strip placed to the
dish She set to movement once more. Taking a handful of pead
pods deshelling them quickly the pods placed aside to put in the
animal feed. Several small carrots soon followed scrubbed not
peeled and chopped into hearty chunks. both found a sall pan of
water and were placed upon the brazier to boil and simmer for a
moment as She turned back for the vulos to check how they were
cooking. Juices dripped into the pan below. a small knife used
to pry the meat apart a little just to check as She adjusted the
time it would have to be removed from the spit. Back at the pan
She strained the veg though pouring the water into a bowl rather
than into a bucket to be taken outside. The bright green of the
peas was wonderfully vibrant and made a smile touch lips in
reminder that spring was warming the land. the tarsk was drawn
closed She cut it into small slices then washed hands once more
and moved for the pastry only to realise the pastry She had made
was sweetened and wouldn't do for the savory pie She had in
mind. Laughing She put the pastry back in the cold room as it
wasn't currently needed then set about making some fresh. Flour
butter a little salt and a splash of cold water were swiftly
combined in a bowl. Worked with nimble fingers until a ball
formed. Then scattering the counter with flour She began to
knead working the pastry for several ehn. Then rolled it out
across the counter. Washing hands tersly Her gaze danced the
kitchen seeking pie tins. Several large tins soon found Her eye
and were gathered. She placed two aside and used the third to
cut a round from the pastry. The disc taken into her hands was
moulded into the dish. Turning back for the vulo witht he help
of a bond the spit was removed and birds placed upon the plate
the tarsk lay upon. clear juices oozed form the birds. She
swiftly dissected and cut the meat into chunks before throwing
the meat into the tin that held the pastry. Taking the tin the
juices had dripped into She used the water form the veg to
slowly stir and combine.. a spoon of satarna flour helped the
gravy thicken. tarsk bits and veg were palced within the pie
dish..the new formed gravy used to just cover the ingredients so
that they wouldn't dry out and then She used the rest of the
pastry to cover the dish. The lid was pinched down with rapid
thumb and finger motions about its edge. a hole pushed through
the center to allow steam to escape and then the pie was set to
cook. The fruit She had gathered was put away for the moment as
a break was needed. The bodn offering to clean the counter She
thanked her for the assistance and smiled hoping at some point
to get others envolved in some of the thigns She planned to do.
pPouring a cup of water She slipped out of the kitchen and made
for the halls depths to sit and relax for a moment-
