So, another learning for me.
I recently had cause to find myself delving in another unknown area of our SCA world.
Many things have been discovered reading different handbooks and I have enjoyed the learnings there (and just quietly the ability to share those learnings with others) But I never before had taken a look of the rules of an IKAC.
So this week I learned that the rules of and IKAC and the rules of archery are the same but different at the same time. I did not know that you could declare that you wish to shoot an IKAC at any event where you have a marshal/score keeper present. I thought an IKAC had to be a very planned event. If the people involved at an event agree, then no other arrow can be shot until the IKAC participant has finished. So if only one person is IKACing, then no one else gets to shoot until they are done.
I found it all very interesting indeed.
A personal adventure into the Camino del Nobles. This represents my journey on a path that many are undertaking. It is very specific to a group of people within the Society for Creative Anachronism in Lochac. It is a challenge that I have chosen to follow and this is where I will attempt to create my journal of this path. My name is Gabriella Borromei and I am a protege to Duquessa Constanzia Moralez y de Zamora. I trust that, with Constanzia's guidance, I will achieve my goals of this path.

Achievement Unlocked - Prowess
It has been a long time in the making for me. Cooking is something I love to do, and I have done often and finally, on the 9th of May 2016 I achieved Mastery in the Lochac Cooks Guild.
This is something that I have been trying to achieve for many years. Technical difficulties have prevented happening soon but now it is done. I am both happy and relieved. My passion for cooking has been shared with many. My SCA family has tasted many a dish, some better than others and I have learned much about cooking in the medieval style.
My particular favorite is Italian food, an overlap into my mundane life as well because pasta and sauces are my signature dishes at home.
Thank you to the Guild, thank you to those that encouraged me and most of all thank you to the people that allowed me to cook weird and wonderful dishes.
Oh and I should add, a thank you to Ulfgar the Unspeakable for allowing me to be part of his kitchen way back in the 20th century and sparking this interest.

An effort in Largess
I have finally decided what I am going to do for my donation to the Fighter Auction prizes for Great Northern War.
As the list keeper for this event it is also my role to procure the prizes which can often be a challenge. If anyone else on this Nobles path would like to donate, I will be sure to pass on acknowledgement of your gift of Largess to our gracious Warden.
I have decided to make a couple of Sacoccia, (pockets) Most of us are always looking for some way of carrying items when in garb. These pockets are shown in late period Italian paintings and, in my opinion, are a much more convenient option than lugging a basket everywhere.
They are worn in addition to a belt so do not take away from the aesthetics of garb, especially if they are made to match.
