I figured it out

I Figured It Out

After much experimentation, I figured out the proper dosage of my Arabic Jelly. To treat a cough or a sore throat, apply a healthy dollop of the jelly on one half of a bagel, apply an equal amount of peanut butter on the other half, stick them together, sticky sides inwards, and shove into your face hole. It's really, really tasty. And, I don't have a cough. I can't imagine why Abu Yusuf Ya'qub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi didn't mention this in his recipe.

I all seriousness, it's really tasty, although, it isn't as firm as a store bought jelly. So it was messy. I am planning on doing this with red grapes to see if it jells up better, and, possibly, add some pectin into one of the jars to make it firmer.

I debuted this project at Summer's End: I had brought two 16oz mason jars and almost one of the jars was emptied. Leaving me with a good handful of jelly that I will have to consume. Oh! Woe is me, being forced to eat tasty grape jelly. The sacrifices I must make in pursuit of A&S.

No One Likes Fish Puns

Bird Puns Are All the Raven

At the Seven Pearl's Tournament, this past weekend, my last assignment was given out. And by last assignment, I mean my most recent one, not my last one ever. Although, judging by the reactions, it might be the last one I get. Master Po kept punching me after each and every pun. I know that I done good when Master Po, a man who is known in AEthelmearc as a herald and wordsmith who tells bad puns.

I will have to say that THL Zosia, who was the reading herald, enjoyed reading this scroll as much as she hated reading the fish pun scroll from earlier this year. I did not know that people enjoyed bird puns more than fish puns. I will have to make one full of puns about woodland critters and see how it is received.

I did speak with the recipient of this scroll, at the end of the event, and mentally kicked myself: I could have slipped in a kingfisher pun. Still a bird pun but referencing a fish.

I feel sorry for those people living in Kingdoms who use standardized scroll text. They will never know the pleasure, and pain, of hearing 25 bird related puns in a row, while at the same time honoring the mad A&S skills of Aurelid Argentia Prima, the Lady who won.
