Hee! I love this article. Thank you, Mark Schatzker!

For the past two years, I've done the Great American Teach-In at the local high school -- doing a class on medieval and Renaissance foods. If I can teach just one kid that Henry VIII could not possibly have eaten a turkey leg, I will have done my part. ;)

Elizabeth, OTOH, could have. But it might've mussed her white-makeup-thingy.

And dripped down her decolletage. ;)

What's a SCA-er???

Hey! We love Medieval Times....and who wants to eat real Medieval food anyway? Give me the rubber chicken any day! :)

SCA = Society for Creative Anachronisms. It is a group that strives to faithfully recreate the past, esp. the fighting, I believe, and esp. the middle ages. I know they host wars every year throughout the country also ...
