A Viking Christmas

What, mead? Well, the stuff you get in the store isn't anything like the stuff that people like Runesinger and I make at home, and it most certainly isn't anything like the stuff they made in the Iron Age. They made theirs in open vats, it was thick and black and full of seeds etc. Probably a fly or two aswell. That's why they used a special kind of ladle to scoop it out, so that the crud stayed in the ladle.
Kind of like Thorfin's?? :p

Anyway, thanks for the compliment about my mead. You're always welcome to my mead-horde. Provided you can still find your way home afterwards :lol:

Hey, Runesinger, have you ever tasted any of Mike Mohilo's mead? It comes highly recommended. He usually brings some to the Althing and to the SCA events. He also makes ale, which I hear is very good. Judging from Lyle's head the day after the war, he is not very stingy with it, either. How very Norse of him, huh? He's done some good mead and beer making classes at the thing. Lyle actually paid attention to those classes...

I've never tried Hike's mead, but I understand from many sources that it is very good. One of these days I'd like to try my hand at beer-brewing. The stuff in the store is such horse-pi$$.
 
Being a New Yorker, I love being in the city holiday time. The commercialism of the holidays makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I especially love when all the brown stones have those white-ish lights up and everything.
