Directions

Preheat oven to 350º F. Sauté sage and parsley in butter for ~5 min. Mix cheeses, herbs, eggs and breadcrumbs together. Roll bread dough into flat rectangle, the size of a roasting pan. Line the roasting pan with foil, and butter the foil. Lay the flat dough in the pan. Spread the mixture evenly on the dough. Put the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 350º F. It is done when the top cheese becomes reddish.

The first "pizza" I baked using this recipe was wonderful, with a subtle flavor and powerful aroma that filled the house! Having received very positive and creative input from family members and others in the Barony, I decided to improvise by adding meat to recipe. This follows with a traditional German orientation toward meat pies and even meat pastries, which is evident in this same recipe book. In addition, Alia's redaction was not very specific on the nature of the bread dough, and so I used a very basic whole wheat yeast dough to which I added 2 tbsp of Olive Oil to better allow the bread to separate from the pan, and to further "nudge" the flavor of the dish toward a modern "Pizza" flavor.

Arrow Quiver            by Lord Jacques d'Aymonet

This quiver is made to be worn over the back. It's tooled with a simple pattern on the chest strap. The pattern is decorative but is not a period pattern.

Archery is an ancient skill used for hunting, war and games. It has never gone completely out of fashion. There are as many styles of quivers as there are types of bows. The oldest quiver in existence today is over 5300 years old. That quiver was made out of animal skin and wood and was made to strap on the back.

I came up with the design for this quiver after looking at a dozen different types of quivers and trying a few. After tooling the leather I started the stitching with the top rolled edge. Then I stitched the bottom and continued up the side. Before finishing the side the shoulder strap had to be stitched on. The quiver was finished with a leather conditioning oil.
