[Ponte Alto] Weekly Rundown- 2/14

[Mariana Ruiz de Medina]

Happy Monday Ponte Alto!

Happy St. Valentine's Day to all who celebrate! In honor of the occasion, I
am very excited to announce the opening of an SCA women's studies group,
currently headed by our very own Lady Esa as the Society Arts and Sciences
Deputy for Women's Studies! Check out the Facebook group here
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/scawomensstudiesunofficial>.

This week's recipe of the week comes from another favorite SCA food
resource and features a tie in to our favorite saint of the day. The first
thing to note is that it's not actually a savory recipe, but could very
easily belong at home in a cheese course or other savory remove. One of
Saint Valentine's patronages is beekeepers, and so choosing a honey recipe
felt fitting for the day. This recipe highlights one of my favorite things
about medieval cooking, which is the challenge to change our perspectives
as modern eaters. Mundanely, ginger, cinnamon, and honey feature often
prominently in sweeter applications, but their uses are varied and they are
delicious in savory applications too. In this recipe in particular, the
black pepper brings out the smokier, more savory notes of the other two
spices very pleasantly! Try this recipe with a soft ripened goat cheese and
it'll really shine. Find the recipe here
