A quick look in the Roget's doesn't turn up any terms other than dominate or reign that really convey how I feel about the SRWC dayboard. It's mine. I'll "let" other people do it, if I have to. (I'm making fun of myself here. Other people should have a chance and autocrats have the right to pick people to work with.) And I will summarize/subsume any criticisms/objections I have to the way they do it as "That's not the way I would do it," because that would be the sum total of how I feel about it. (Ok, they should not run out of food. That's not right. But otherwise...)

So when I was offered a chance to do it this year, I jumped at it. Even though my housemate and dear friend was going to do the Sunday Breakfast. (We will never have this combination happen again. Two meals out of one house/family was too much stress.)

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it's a cold buffet luncheon open to anyone who attends the event at no additional cost. Read more... )
Everyone loved the food. Everyone ate and ate and ate. We even fed a few late-comers when we went up to clear off the court board after a quick dip in the pool-- it was their first outdoor event and they hadn't known there was food or where to find it!) Oh. And yes, I came in under budget. :) I got many compliments from out-of-shire.

(It was only the stress of getting the kitchen ready for breakfast and helping with breakfast prep that burnt me out at the end...) It was a happy dayboard and I am pleased with myself.

John G. Bourke, Scatalogic Rites of all Nations (Washington, DC: W.H. Lowdermilk & Co, 1891) includes, among other things, a interesting survey of "Ordure and Urine in Medicine" concentrating largely on the pre-modern age which also covers human sweat, milk, ear-wax, etc. The chapter on Latrines is not very helpful for our period.

I'm camped in Embervale Refuge on Horde Hill, in the same block with Confed, Bluefeather and Von Draken, but I'm not sure where our front door will be.
