For Thanksgiving at l'abri this year, we had a medieval feast. Everyone dressed up as characters, and we had an authentic medieval meal served on bread trenchers (no plates or forks) and pigged out on ye old time fare. Which apparently included primarily dishes made with dates, figs, raisins and lots of sugar. Not perhaps the best food I've ever eaten, but quite fun. We had entertainment between each of the 5 courses, with the Sandri kids doing a play, Andrew mistrelling about, a scene from Shakespeare, and a reading by Catherine. Our Jester, William, lost his head at the end of the evening by the king's edict, for the unspeakable crime of pulling his leg. For the grand finale, we had a marzipan sculpture crafted by our resident Renaissance man, Patrick, who can apparently do everything. Seriously, everything.
We awoke this morning to a mountainscape carpeted with freshly falling snow, so winter has officially arrived here in Switzerland. And we are thankful...

Jasie, it's me, Allison, your girlcrush. So, um, I'm not seeing anything about me, your soulmate, on this your blog. Actually, it looks as though you might even have enjoyed yourself in my absence. I cannot handle this. I, on the other hand, have been in the depths of despair, overcome with grief, in a virtual badlands of sadness. What up wit' dat, yo?
