Amberglen Returns to RivenOak

It had been a busy week on the farm. Rick and Catherine are about to go out of town, so Rick brought my his week's worth of tomatoes and peppers, so they wouldn't get wasted. I made tomato sauce with about 100 tomatoes.

Friday night, Delina came over, and ... She put de lime in de coconut!

I harvested the world's biggest cabbage!

*********************************
What We're Eating
Cabbage soup of course! I made a broth from the big tough leaves, and cooked the small tender leaves in it with some red lentils, onion, garlic, and lots of curry and turmeric. I gave some to Buddy, Rick, and Catherine, and we ate it with homemade rolls and green garlic butter, with Flipside to drink. Damn that's a good beer.

Last Saturday was the Baronial Championship tourney for RivenOak. We decided it might be fun, so we dug out some garb and went. You just don't get that many opportunities to wear a crown! (Although technically mine is a coronet.)

We went to court.

Where the Prince and Princess, and the Baron and Baroness were in attendance.

Then everyone suited up. There were three hometown knights: Sir David, Sir Urban Cheeshank, and Sir Thorstagg.

Keith and David clown around while waiting for their fights.

This is a great shot of Thorstagg in battle. And you had to click fast because he one-shotted the first few guys.

It came down to Thorstagg vs. Urban in the final round, with David and the Baron of RivenOak looking on. Thorstagg won the day and is the new Champion of RivenOak.

I didn't make it up to Laura's party, but I sent up a lovely present and some of my precious zucchini relish.
