Fried Peaches Two Ways or 'Peach Doughnuts'
by Baroness Lucia de Enzinas
FIRST RECIPE:Peach doughnut. Cut open the ripe peach, take out the seed, make the same kind of dough we made for the salads or the elderberry. For we don’t add eggs to sage dough, but we do add eggs to peach dough, sometimes a little wine, too.
SECOND RECIPE:Dip the peeled peach into the dough, then fry it and serve it when hot, add sugar. If the peach is clingstone, slice it into circles. The herb masters cut this into four, pour some wine onto it, then mix it with flour, finally, they fry it.
The Prince of Transylvania’s court cookbook, 16th Century http://www.medievalcookery.com/etexts/transylva-nia-v104.pdf
Ingredients for 1st recipe1 cup flour2 tbsp wine1 egg2 peaches, peeled and sliced into rounds2 tbsp raw cane sugar for garnish.Butter for frying
Directions1. Mix flour, egg and wine together with a fork.2. Heat frying pan on medium heat, then add butter.3. Dip peach discs into batter from step one and then
carefully lay your peach pancake into the hot pan. Fry for 5 minutes on each side, or until brown.
4. Place cooked peach slice on plate and sprinkle with sugar. Serve warm.
The Yeoman page 8
Ingredients for Recipe 22 tbsp wine*2 peaches1/2 cup flourButter for frying
Directions1. Cover the peaches with the wine and stir to coat.2. Heat frying pan on medium heat, then add butter.3. Dip peach quarters into flour and then gently place on frying pan.4. Heat each side of the peach triangle for ~5 minutes or until browned. Serve warm.
* the wine will be the strongest flavor giving a tangy or sour cooked end product. If you use a really sweet wine, or a really ripe peach it would work better. I coated these peach doughnuts with raw sugar as well.

Stalking the Wild Nauga - a Tale of the Hunt in the
Modern Middle Agespossibly by Master Cathal from Thor's Mountain in Meridies
It was early in the forenoon of the day - scarce past the ringing of the vespers bell, when I spied it. That strange and most elusive of beasts, a nauga in its natural habitat.
While there are many sorts of nauga - and none should be disdained -this was one of the larger sort. Not the fierce and belligerent Ottoman nauga, un christian-like and with its flair of Araby, which vexed so many crusaders feet and is even now prized as a trophy for the great hall to rest upon, or seat young children. Nor was it the larger sort, which can devour the hind portions of even two people at once as well as any small coin they have the misfortune to leave about. Love seats, they are called, but this is a vile deception for they are most uncomfortable, just wide enough to trap the unwary and yet so short none of real height may derive comfort.
Nay, this nauga was one of the most prized of its ilk, the fearsome sofa, renowned for its ability to hide disguised as a bed at night and yet, come morn - La! Tis again standing in plain sight, bold as a bishops clerk for all to see hiding as a sofa again. This beast, bane of guests and in-laws alike is renowned for its ability to wrench the back, stiffen the limbs or, yea, most verily - even unto swallowing small children and house pets whole on occasion.
Thus my hunters eye was agleam as I saw this beast, put out by its owners. What transgressions it may have committed remains even now a mystery, but the men who moved it moaned and swore with many a vile imprecation as they released it into the wilds of the yard, so I must assume its demeanor had been ill-tempered indeed.
Verily, it proved this calumny, standing in the midst of the yard, awaiting the unwary there patiently yet boldly. It was obviously a creature of stubbornness and willful determination, for it never fled, but held its ground as though challenging any that came upon it to move it from its place.
None did. That is until two men, clad in the gray long tunics and trews of the town's public service did arrive, and after pronouncing it both too large and too great a beast in weight to be confronted fled in ignominy, their floor footed dragon snorting and belching foul gases in its dismay.
Then I did approach the now dismayed owners, who looked upon the beast with concern and worry. "Come," I said "this creature is of no great account - allow me to skin it upon its demise and I will help you face it down, and yea, even take the brunt of whatever protests it may make".
This was deemed a fair bargain, and so we three - the good man, his wife and I, along with two sprats from the neighborhood, whom we bribed with sweet cakes - went to it and made battle! I will say it proved a worthy foe, for it did resist mightily in climbing atop that wagon of theirs, a tiny thing from the lands of far off Nippon. I would have thought it unequal to the task, but the Nipponese wagon proved valiant in the end and with much struggle we delivered it to the place where all naugas must
The Yeoman page 11
eventually go. Here, where servants of the township fill the land with the trash of days it would find its final repose.
While the good man and his wife departed for a time to pay the towns servant and warder who dwelt there, his sum of coin (for filling land is in no way free, and to keep the nauga, such is its repute, they desired no less than seven clams. In the land of Trimaris, such is the value of seafood.
I went after it with my little knife, a sack to hand for just this purpose, and catching it unawares I skinn'd it most quickly.
Now, many know of the nauga, but not of the varieties of the breed, and some will yield hide of a thin and chintzy sort, but many also, true leather - it was one of this breed that the nauga was, and why I sought it. Skinning it, I discarded the lesser hide, but kept the leather of its face, its seat and arms. In the end, after having stripped its hide from bone and flesh it sat there, a sad sight to see.
Few know that the bones of a nauga are wood, and even now, on its stubby feet I would not leave such bounty to waste, nor its innards which can be wondrous soft and fluffy, but a servant of the city descended upon me, shouting many approbations and so I fled, and with the good man and wife in their tiny wagon retired to the pub, to share in a post hunt ale. Upon arriving home with my bounty, I was met with a worrisome sight!
There stood one of the reeves, a sheriffs man, who then did talk to me in stern wise. It seemed that to skin nauga's in land being filled by the town is deemed some sort of minor crime, but upon discussion it was revealed not a crime as first seemed. It proved that while the taking of the hide was of no importance, the towns servant feared for my safety, for there in the Filled Lands lie many hazards, such as other, wilder naugas, strange odoriferous creatures such as the noisome Hefty. The ever sly idiot box, which when put into the wild, stalks the unwary with its single glass eye, delivering shocks of anbaric voltage dwelt there was well. Even the harmless scrap, when released into the wilds of the Filled Lands will become feral, stalking hapless victims with its lumbrous ways, teeth like nails biting any who are careless enough to tread upon it.
And so, after all was done the constable and I departed in friendly wise, he having issued "only a warning" that I not poach the Filled Lands again, for such was mightily against the wish of the magistrate and our lord mayor.
Even now, as I stretch and admire the leather I got from the nauga, its hide a Kelly green, its skin as smooth as the leathers of Cordova, I smile to think on't. For the adventure of the hunting of the nauga yielded great good, tunics an pouches aplenty from its hide. From such a hide I will make a pouch and belt for my daughter most fair, and I shall regale her at the fireside with the tale, and we shall marvel at the memory of the Hunting of the Wild Nauga.

The Greek Mermaid Thessaloniki Her History & Legend Revealed
By Scholastica Joycors
Mermaids are said to be mythical sea creatures with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. They are many legends connected with the sea, storms, and shipwrecks, as well as good deeds. They are associated with the ancient Greek myth of the Sirens who lured the sailors with
their enchanting music and song causing them to shipwreck on the rocky coastline of their island as in the tale of Odysseus or Jason and the Argonauts. They are also related to one of the earliest legends of a mermaid connected in history to Thessaloniki, Alexander the Great's half-sister. Her story began in 350 BCE in the second-largest city in Greece and the capital of Macedonia.
History tells us that Thessalonike was a Macedonian princess, the daughter of King Phillip II of Macedon and Nicesipolis. She was born the day of a significant battle on the Crocus Field in Thessaly, where he won over the Phocians in central Greece near Delphi. It is recorded that King said, "Let her be called Victory in Thessaly." In Greek, her name is made up of the words Thessaly and nike, meaning victory, thus Thessalonike.
Soon after Thessalonike's birth, her mother died; she was raised by Olympias, Phillip's fourth wife and mother to Alexander the Great. She did not have much contact with her half-brother as Alexander's time was spent with Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist leaving for his Persian campaigns when she was only six or seven.
Thessalonike was only twenty-one when Alexander, king of the then known world, died in June 323BC in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II Babylon. He was only 32 years old. Upon his death, his empire, which stretched from Greece to Asia Minor, India, and Egypt, was divided among his generals. Cassander, one of his generals, besieged the fortress of Pydra in the area of Pieria where Thessalonike and Olympias had taken refuge. He killed Olympias and took Thessalonike to be his wife, and made her queen of Macedonia. She bore three sons: Phillip, Antipater, and Alexander. Later, when Cassander founded a new city on the site of ancient Therma, he named it after his wife. It quickly became one of the wealthiest cities in Macedonia.
After Cassander’s death, Philip became the leader as the eldest son. His mother insisted, however, that he should share that power with his younger brother Alexander. This action enraged the middle child Antipater who felt ignored, and so in 295 BCE; he murdered his mother. While very little is known about Thessalonike after her death, she would live on in legend as a mermaid.
The Legend of ThessalonikeThe Aegean Sea lies between Greece and
modern-day Turkey. It was a vital segment of the Mediterranean in ancient Greece and which was a frequently used waterway for commercial and military pursuits. At some point, no one really knows when, sailors began returning to their ports with the strangest stories of sightings of Thessaloniki, thought to be long dead swimming in the Aegean Sea.
Thessalonike may not have spent a great deal of time with her half-brother Alexander, but becoming a mermaid is connected to his quest to find the Fountain of Youth. It is said that he brought back with him a flask of this invaluable water, and with it, he washed his sister's hair. When Alexander died, Thessalonike was so grief-

stricken that she tried to end her life by jumping into the Aegean Sea, but instead of drowning, she became a mermaid who passed judgment on mariners.
Many a sailor would tell the tale of Thessalonike the Mermaid as a warning to any unlucky seaman who caught sight of her, for she would ask the following question: Is Alexander the King alive? If he valued his life, his answer should be, He lives and reigns and conquers the world. If they gave the correct answer, she would let the ship and its crew sail away safely. If they gave any other answer, she would transform into a fierce Gorgon-like creature, causing storms, wrecking the ship, drowning the sailors on it, sending them all to a dark and bottomless grave.
The city of Thessaloniki lived through attacks and successive occupations by Romans, Slavs, Saracen pirates, Normans, Ottomans, Venetians, Turks, and even the German army. In 1917 a great fire destroyed the center of the city, but it rose from the ashes. Among many statues in the city, there is none to Thessalonike. But there is one to Alexander the Great, astride his horse Bucephalus and facing eastward ready to ravage new lands. There is a stat-ue of the Mermaid on the island of Thasos, which has the following inscription on it by Ni-kos Kazantzakis. It reads:
Δεν ήταν νησί It was not an islandήταν θεριό που κείτονταν it was a creature lyingστην θάλασσα in the seaΉταν η γοργόνα Ιt was the Mermaidη αδελφή του Μέγα Αλέξανδρου the sister of Alexander the Greatπου θρηνούσε who was mourningκαι φουρτούνιαζε το πέλαγος. and making the seas rough.
The truth of all this was that Thessaloniki was a real person who mourned the death of her brother Alexander greatly, and perhaps her ongoing question to the sailors is just her hope that one day she will be reunited with him. Her legend has inspired artists, painters, musicians, sculptors, and writers who found inspiration in the story of a sad mermaid looking for news of her brother. But most importantly her legend has been passed on from one generation to next keeping her story alive.
