About Nadrah bint Valizan al-Garnatiyya

Mu'allima Nadrah bint Valizan al-Garnatiyya is a 13th-century Andalusian woman residing in the city of Granada. She is the adopted daughter of a well-loved Sheikh, is married to his Faroese student and is quite content keeping them both well feed when she's not up to her elbows in projects and studies. Her doppelganger is Lærimoðir Auðr Skíðadottir, a 10th-century Icelandic woman who is currently living in Reykjavík. Nadrah is the SCA persona of AJ Richards, she lives in the Shire of Ulfheim in the wilds of the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

Winter Squash Soup

2012-09-25T05:51:45-05:00

The recipes for the Fall Coronation feast of Roak and Elizabeth was predominantly Italian, the soup was not, it’s French.  I chose it because squash is such a fall harvest food item.  The recipe can be made with pumpkin but truthfully, I don’t like it that way.

New Look

2012-09-24T22:55:02-05:00

As you can see, I have a new look.   Over the weekend, I was visiting the home of two dear friends (who just happen to host this site) and I commented that I needed to get off my butt and find a new theme since the old one wasn’t working for me.   A quick series […]

You may not have noticed but…

…we moved recently.  Thank you to the ever talented and slightly demented David who managed the domain move, etc, so that I didn’t have to.  My website skills could make a cat laugh but Dave is all-pro – literally.

While I haven’t posted in a while, I expect that to start changing in the next while […]

Spicy Cheddar Cheese Spread

2017-05-19T12:22:05-05:00

Being true to my promise to post tasty recipe options for Primal meal options.

One of my favorite things use to be having nacho chips and cheddar cheese dip/spread – the recent changes to my dietary choices mean no chips but that doesn’t mean I can’t have this cheese spread on occasion.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo – Primal Style

2017-05-19T12:22:05-05:00

Two things to say right out of the gate.  First,  this is NOT authentic Cajun or Creole gumbo for a variety of reasons (file powder isn’t common up here in northern Ontario and there’s no okra which I loathe).  Second, the roux is not made with flour – this is a Primal based recipe, so […]

Making changes

2017-05-19T12:22:05-05:00

The last week has been a process of studying a bit about this lifestyle change and about purging a lot of the things I need to get rid of.  I finally went through the kitchen and purged the flour, cleaning out the pantry of things we can’t have on this Primal food plan.   Today I […]

Food Choice changes

2012-01-31T00:17:06-05:00

I’ve been suffering from insomnia for quite a while now, several years of poor sleep quality finally took their toll. For a variety of reasons, my husband and I decided to embrace a gluten free, low carb diet and surprise of all surprises, I’m sleeping better.

Over the next little while, you’re likely […]

New Project = more research

2011-09-06T18:20:00-05:00

Fateful words were spoken this weekend, they were short and to the point – “You know, the shires are on the hook for Fall Coronation 2012.” That sentence would dominate my quiet points for the weekend, that sentence being statement of intent – my home group will be submitting a bid.

It never occurred to me […]
