Over the centuries there must have been hundreds of dishes that the Known World has created using this wonderful bird that tastes "just like chicken".</div><div> </div><div>As you know, the Barony of Stierbach is going to war with the Barony of Sacred Stone in October. Most of the northern Baronies have pledged their support in our efforts to right the wrong that the Barony of Sacred Stone has done to us....but, enough of that for now.</div><div> </div><div>We are planning a grand celebration at the Stierbach Encampment --which all of you are invited-- to celebrate our victory against Sacred Stone at War of the Wings! Because we know we will be victorious with the support of our allies, and because we were wronged, we want to host a most fabulous gathering with all our friends Saturday night after the War. </div><div> </div><div>To do this, we need to raise a few funds. The Barony is a little cash poor because most of our cattle had been stolen..!! This cookbook will give us the much needed funds to buy the finest food and tidbits for our friends and guests. And because everyone knows the greatest cooks in Atlantia all come from the Northern end of the Kingdom, it is to you I send this request to.</div><div> </div><div>I need your favorite recipes for Phoenix. It can be for a dinner for two to dinner for 400; Soups, appetizers, main course, send them all!</div><div> </div><div>I plan to have this little cookbook ready for sale by the Rose Tournament. The price will be $1 dollar. If you would like to place a bulk order for your Barony, I will take advance orders.</div><div> </div><div>Please forward this to your favorite cook's guilds, your favorite Cook, your favorite Wife, and anyone else who you know who might have a yummy Phoenix dish they like to prepare. Send me your recipes! I have less than two weeks to do this.</div><div> </div><div>If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing your culinary delights.</div><div> </div><div>YIS,</div><div>Cairistiona</div><div>Barony of Stierbach</div><div> </div>_______________________________________________<br>Moo mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Moo@lists.stierbach.org">Moo@lists.stierbach.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.stierbach.org/listinfo.cgi/moo-stierbach.org">http://lists.stierbach.org/listinfo.cgi/moo-stierbach.org</a><br></div></span></blockquote></div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">"If eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for being."</div><div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
