His Grace, Duke Alan may be having the last laugh yet, seeing that I  
have a well-baked case of callig-shoulder, my arm and fingers are  
covered in burn gel and band-aides from the spills of molten peep-goo  
that have taken control of my kitchen - and worse yet - my sealing  
wax pot.

And I was going to try a new recipe for medieval sealing wax today...

***SIGH***

I may have to get a new wax pot.

It was really really really hard not to bust up laughing at the  
feast.  El Hermoso Dormiendo (who, true to his name, was still in bed  
at 10:30 when I left for the event site - and who didn't arrive until  
after 1 pm - wish I could have slept in too...) found these  
telescoping forks somewhere in downtown San Luis Obispo (where his  
folks live).  He brought them to the feast.  So there we were,  
toasting marshmallow peeps impalled on the ends of our fully-extended  
telescoping forks over Viscountess Lynn's candles when Alan's 4-year- 
old grabs a peep, sticks it on his fork and tries to do the same.   
And of course, the evyl Demon-Queen of Artemisia commanded one of our  
forks to be brought to her so she could toast her own marshmallow  
peep over a candle.

It was really really really really hard not to lose it at that point,  
in the middle of a peep-filled two days, but I knew more Alan torture  
was just around the corner and so I was able to restrain myself for a  
little while longer...

You know, El Hermoso Dormiendo and I were in the middle of our Sunday  
afternoon joy ride today when it occurred to both of us that we could  
propose a new family activity for the evenings at Uprising.   
Chocolate Milk and Root Beer tastings for all (drunk people not  
allowed), fun family-oriented sing-alongs with all those great kid  
songs we all remember from way back when ("great green gobs of greasy  
grimy........") and toasting peeps over the campfire for kids of all  
ages.  Yah, sure, it's not exactly period but it would be fun -  
especially the peep toasting!
