Tarsk pate with blueberries

Kutai and Hakimba catched a tarsk and brough some shoulder meat, spme baconlike belly flesh and pieces ham of the hindleg.

 

 [09:00] Nara Zsun searches under her Master's wagon for a basket. The Mistress sent nadi in search of blueberries for her cooking today. Picking up a basket, turns an begins to search the shoreline of the river. After much walking, the gorean sun high over her head, wipes the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
[09:06] Nara Zsun a broad smile crosses her face seeing a large bush full of berries. Kneeling in the damp grass, starts to pick berries, looking around to make sure no one watches, holds a berry in her hand debating if she should steal one....then decides her Master's whip has not kissed her supple flesh in a long time. With a soft sigh...drops the berry into her basket an finishes her chore.
[09:07] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): tal nadi
[09:08] Nara Zsun: Tal Jaz, smiles as the kajira come to aid her in her chore. hands her a basket to pick fill for the mistress.
[09:10] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): helps put the berries in the basket.
[09:10] Nara Zsun: we are asked to pick the blueberries for the Mistress. She is preparing a great feast of tarsk today for the hungry hunters. My basket is almost full. Sighs it is so tempting to pop on in your mouth....but the berries would stain our lips an tongue an I am sure the Master's will check...I don't wish to feel the kiss of My Master's whip
[09:11] Nara Zsun: OO gasps as her words leave her lips, wishing you could suck them back in.....Greetings My Master...a red flush covers her face
[09:11] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): mmm you are readsing my mind the berries looks juicy and sweet
[09:12] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): greetings master
[09:12] Hakimba Oakleaf: get that beast down... dont be frightened this is not my blood it is that of the boar.... i have put some big pieces from the shoulders and ham into the kitchen
[09:13] Hakimba Oakleaf looks at his girl wonders why she has such blue lips... are you sick nadi.... your lips are blue as if you dont can breethe
[09:13] Nara Zsun: oh sighs in relief....I am happy to hear such My Master....Looks at his kirtle seeing a large task ahead of her. Hoping the blood will not be to hard to remove
[09:13] Nara Zsun: Oh no My Master.....
[09:14] Aphris Myoo looks angry "did you know that tasting berries is the same as thieving berries, the girl Elinor, a slave of Rask was branded as a thief for that"
[09:14] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): smiles at nadi and hopes that blue goes away soon
[09:14] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): greetings mistress

[09:19] Nara Zsun: setting the basket on the counter....dips water from the water barrel filling a bowl....dumping the berries into the water, swishes her fingers through the water
[09:19] Hakimba Oakleaf returns with the rest of meat.. puts it at the table... this will give a very rich meal....
[09:20] Hakimba Oakleaf: you will have plenty of work with roasting and cooking it

[09:21] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): what happen to the big shark i saw in the river nadi
[09:21] Hakimba Oakleaf grins
[09:21] Aphris Myoo: Shark?
[09:22] Nara Zsun: we just have to watch for him....I am sure the river tharlarion population has decreased from him
[09:23] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): nadi took a visitor for a tour of the area and there was a great big river shark near the bridge
[09:23] Nara Zsun: Opening the cool box...sets the bowl inside an covers it with a rep cloth.
[09:23] Nara Zsun: yes that was awhile back....I have not seen him lately...perhaps he has moved to a better feeding ground
[09:23] Aphris Myoo: so lets discuss what we can make for the meal
[09:23] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): I tried to play with it
[09:24] Nara Zsun: shakes my head at the silly slave girl
[09:24] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress
[09:24] Jaz Aries (sahjaza): places her berries with nadis in the cool box
[09:24] Nara Zsun: settles in a tower her knees tightly together before the Mistress an listens intently

[11:26] Aphris Myoo: we have still tarsk meat to frabricate
[11:27] Nara Zsun: aahh yes Mistress the butchered meat is in the cool box
[11:27] Aphris Myoo: so lets go there
[11:28] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress,
[11:29] Aphris Myoo: if it's good we have got from the men 1 big shoulderpiece of tarsks, several stripes of fatback, and 2 big bill hams
[11:29] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress, peering around her skirts into the cool box
[11:31] Aphris Myoo: get all the meat out" she lays a big repcloth at the grass "and place it here"
[11:32] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress, moving past her starts to lift the heavy pieces of meat to the rep cloth.
[11:33] Aphris Myoo watches the slave working "today we can only make a start, we have to cut a part of the meat and mince the rest
[11:41] Aphris Myoo gives the hams and fatback parts to nadi, she then points at a meat mincer placed at a shelf "make it extra fine pieces with the mincer
[11:42] Nara Zsun: Yes Mistress....picking up the hams an parts moves to the mincer to begin her chore
[11:43] Aphris Myoo takes the shoulder pieces and starts cutting them in small cubes with her quiva
[11:46] Aphris Myoo continues making cubes of the shoulder meat, she carefully cuts around the bones
[11:47] Nara Zsun: stepping to the table, starts to press the chunks of meant into the mincer. Watches as it begins to come out, Continuing until all the meat has been reduced to ground pulp.
[11:48] Aphris Myoo quickly works of the shoulder piece, the quiva is sharp, its tiresome work, but she better not give a razorsharp heavy throwing knife to a slave girl. She throws the cubes in a deep plate
[11:50] Aphris Myoo finishes the meat cutting, and starts to add stuff to the meat in teh plate, starting with salt and peppah

[11:51] Aphris Myoo walks to the kitchen to get extra ingredients
[11:51] Nara Zsun: Mistress I believe this is all the meat you wish minced....shall I clean up this table
[11:53] Aphris Myoo: "wait a second" she seeks in the coolbox and takes a small flask of creme de casis, she throws it to Nadi "mix this with the minced meat"
[11:54] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress.....fills the mincer with the creme de casis making sure it is mixed well
[11:54] Aphris Myoo takes out some leaves of laurel, the blue berries Nadi collected earlier. She closes the box and then walks to the barrel. She takes a horn from the shelf and fills it half with red wine.
[11:55] Nara Zsun: taking some hot water from the pot on the hearth, fills a large bowl, taking the dishes an parts of the mincer starts to wash them in the hot sudsy water.
[11:57] Aphris Myoo puts the wine in the deep scale with the tarsk meat, she then adds the laurel leaves and blueberries "so this must stand for a couple of hours, let it marinate. You can put both the minced meat and the plate with marinated shoulder piece cubes in teh coolbox Nadi
[11:57] Nara Zsun: drying everything with clean rep cloths, replaces the mincer an plates back where they belong on the shelves an in the chest of utensils
[11:58] Nara Zsun: walking over to the pond, dumps the dirty dish water into the reeds, swishing out the wash basin...returns quickly to the Mistress's hems, waiting to serve
[11:58] Aphris Myoo: "so tomorrow we have to continue, then the wine, berries and creme the cassis have taken possession of the tarsk meat"
[11:59] Aphris Myoo: hm, yes
[11:59] Aphris Myoo: i can use some of this wine myself, she points at the barrel
[11:59] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress this looks delicious I am sure the outriders will be most rewarded for the meat they have provided for the camp

[10:15] Aphris Myoo we must finish the pate, the tarsk meat and minced tarsk parts must be cooked till a pate
[10:16] Nara Zsun: yes Mistress I will get them from the cool box for you.
[10:16] Aphris Myoo: yes please and several bowls
[10:16] Nara Zsun: do you need a large pot to cook them in
[10:16] Aphris Myoo: or pots
[10:17] Nara Zsun: nods running to the counter ....bends down checking for two copper pots that would be large enough
[10:18] Nara Zsun: pulling them from under the counter...wipes them clean with a fresh rep cloth. Setting them on the side of the hearth. Turns to the cool box and picks up the two bowls of tarsk
[10:20] Aphris Myoo picks the copper pot and a heavy pestle and places it near the oven
[10:20] Nara Zsun: sets the bowl on the heart next to the pots and watches the Mistress, waiting to assist her in her task
[10:21] Aphris Myoo takes meat from both bowl, the minced and the small cubes, she throws them mixed in the pot and starts to pound them with the pestle
[10:23] Nara Zsun: watches the Mistress, the meat beginning to mix in a smooth blend, the outriders will surely be pleased
[10:23] Aphris Myoo sees how the mixture of minced meat, berries and herbs get thicker and faster of substance
[10:23] Nara Zsun: nods yes Mistress, it is beginning to look very appetizing
[10:24] Aphris Myoo finishes the pounding and then shoves the copper pot at the fire, to let the blend cook for about 2 hours
[10:24] Aphris Myoo ask for the second pot of Nadi
[10:24] Nara Zsun: do you need nadi to stir an keep an eye that the fire remains at the right heat Mistress
[10:25] Nara Zsun: picks up the second pot handing it to the Mistress
[10:25] Aphris Myoo: stir does not help, it must become an almost solid mass of meat
[10:25] Nara Zsun: aaahh nods looking into the pot, Yes Mistress
[10:26] Aphris Myoo takes the second pot of Nadi and repeats the pounding process with her pestle
[10:27] Aphris Myoo thinks a moment and shoves the already cooking pot into the oven so its more equaliy heated and not a burned crust at the bottom will be created
[10:28] Nara Zsun: watches intensely. Learning from the Mistress always an exciting thing.
[10:29] Aphris Myoo forceully pounds the meat, softly laughting this will already be too much for city women who no longer have the strength and skills to cook themselves, and are totally dependent on slaves who hate them
[10:29] Hakimba Oakleaf: Tal lady Aphris greetings mine
[10:29] Aphris Myoo ends the pounding and shoves the second pot in the fire
