What did you do on Saturday?
Posted in farming, Life in NZ, SCA on 08/09/2009 05:11 pm by StephenWe had a few friends over. Activities ensued, including:
Three men walking around with rifles looking for bunnies, one dude with a chainsaw merrily chopping down a cherry tree, multiple decapitations, a flaming forge furnace and the clash of hammers on hot steel, gardening, archery, a cute little girl walking around with a petting a severed head, a bowl of fresh blood being briskly whisked, spoon carving, goose herding, and MIG welding.
Nobody got hurt. And alcohol was not even involved until after everyone was done.
All in all, a successful day. But rather tiring.

I just want to ask why, exactly, were you whisking the blood…?

I presume it had something to do with the process of making blood pudding. Not sure if anything had been added to the blood at that stage.

Well.. this sure is just like another typical day of my life!
This might be kind of weird (but I’m not sure where else to contact you because there’s not like.. a general comments page) and I don’t know if you remember me (I’m Pascale R’s daughter #2 Mathilde back from Boston) but I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your blog.. AND! The reason I suddenly decided to look you up was because I just looked through a bunch of really old pictures in my mother’s closet.. and well, I found some quite hilarious ones of you either dancing or smiling with a lobster hat+apron.. or something. So.. yeah. Good memories. :) And if you want them feel free to ask!
Hope all is well, bigs hugs from our family, and sorry again for the kind of misplaced comment..

whisking the blood keeps it from coagulating as it cools down. otherwise you end up with a thick glob of stuff that you can’t use for anything.
