mopping the floor. Cleaning the cages, inside and out. Collecting the dishes
from the tables and placing in the kitchen. Raking the dancing Pits. Washing the
windows and dias.

washing the cabinets, shelves and cooking surfaces but also sweeping and mopping
the floors, making blackwine, refilling the heating paga and kalana. The cleaned
chairs should be lifted to the table tops and the entire floor cleaned.
Restocking Shelves for the Kitchen - Hall
Old stock is rotated to be used first, restocking the back of the shelves with
fresh. Items need to be rearranged so shelves have a neat appearance in the
kitchen, pantry, dry storage as well as the cooler.
Washing Dishes and Serving Items
Hot water and lots of soap in the basin making sure they are well rinsed and the
shelves are cleaned before the item is meticulously dried and put away. Please
be very responsible at this time to inspecting the kitchen items for flaws,
chips and damage. Nothing is to be kept that might bring any harm to our Frees.
Botas Cleaned and Refilled
Botas need to be rinsed and hung to dry between each use as well as needing
refilling and storing until they are served. Some will be kept by the hearth for
warmth and some in the cold room as well as stocking the bar.
Haul Water
The water supply for the Camp is brought in from a spot upon the Waterfall and must be hauled in for use in the kitchen and
serving. During the winter, clean snow is placed in barrels and melted
down for use with cleaning things. While the Waterfall water is used
for drinking. In the Summer, rain barrels are used to collect water for
cleaning.
Refilling the Lamps
The lamps use thalarion oil as fuel and needs to have their basins refilled on a
regular basis, as well as the wicks need to be trimmed after each use and
replacing. they are hanging, would require a ladder and a second to hold the
thing
Weaving Baskets
Soak limber limbs of wood in water until pliable. Form a strong base with
thicker wood then use reeds grasses or cane to weave the sides. Add handles or
vary the wood depending on the baskets use.
Weaving Cloth
Warp the loom by putting the thread/yarn onto the loom. Weave by going
under and over each thread and use a shuttle to push the weave tightly together.
Remember to keep the weave constant in its tightness and pull the weft to keep
it straight. You can also change colors of thread to make patterns. Finish by
tying the ends off and cutting it from the loom .
Embroidery and Mending
Working a needle and thread in a colorful pattern upon fabric to create a design
or repairing small rips, tears or slices in clothing or other cloth items that
may be damaged. This is a good chore to perform when others are gathered and
you'd like to remain but not appear lazy.
Laundry
Use the large tubs that are in the storage room. Fill them with hot water and
one with soap flakes. use the Piece of ridged metal that has wood around it.
(scrub board) to wash the clothing wring them out then place in the second tub.
rinse them and wring them out and then Hang them on the lines just behind the
Inn. Allow them to dry and fold them and store away.

Milk the Bosk and Verr
Bring a clean pail and a three legs stool, wash the udder and with thumb and
forefinger milk the bosk by pulling the teats in a downward motion until the
bucket is full. The buckets are emptied thru a rep cloth strainer into casks.
The heavier creams will be left on the cloth and can also be skimmed off the top
of the casks after they settle. Clean and replace the pail and items used.
Churn Butter
Skim off the cream from the milk cask and pour it into a clean butter churn.
Fasten the lid with paddle in place. Pump the handle up and down, as the paddle
works through the heavy cream it will start to feel thick and it will be harder
to move the handle. Eventually a ball of butter in the churn will make it too
difficult to continue. Pull off the lid scraping the excess butter off the
paddle. The butter will be stiff and need to be spooned and pressed into molds
The liquid in the bottom of the churn needs to be poured off as the whey or
buttermilk. Put the butter and strained buttermilk in the cooler. Clean the
butter churn by wiping it down with clean cloth.
Make Cheese
Pour milk into a pan and heat. Add starter and cook until curds (lumps) form.
Add rennet and any flavorings. Cook until it is the right thickness and
consistency. Remove from the heat, then wrap the cheese in cheesecloth to hang
in the cooler to age and harden. The longer it ages the more sharp or strong it
becomes.
Cooking Meals
Generally this duty is performed by the Cook but often help by the kaji is
necessary to make sure everyone gets fed. Please refer to the Taverns menu so
you are aware of just what needs to be prepared. Although special orders usually
can be made, please remember the menu items are the prepared items available for
the Taverns Guests. Items and prices are found on the menu page.
Smoke Meat, Fish and Cheese
The smoker is a tight closet type space with shelves and small vents in the
outside walls. Build a compact fire of sweet wood like kalana in the basin at
the bottom of the smoker. Skewers of meat are hung on rods or laid on mesh
shelves. There are also hooks for cheese. Close the doors tightly and wait .
Three days minimum or longer for thicker items.
Curing Meats
Meat strips are dried and made into jerky. Meat can also be hung up and smoked
liked hams, salted down in barrels, canned or frozen in the winter.
Butchering Meat
Remove the horns and store them for later use if the Free who hunted the animal
does not wish them. Gut the animal and save the insides including bladder for future use and clean in a solution of water and disinfectant, then hang to dry.
Skin the animal carefully by making circular cuts around each leg and the neck
then pulling off the carcass. Be very careful that the hide is kept in one piece
and is not nicked. Cut the meat into roasts and such, place in cooler or hang on
hooks in quarter sections.
Cleaning Fish
Scrape off scales with a sharp knife in a nearly brushing motion in the opposite
direction of their growth. Slit the fish from the anal opening up to its
neckline. Pull out all guts and clean the cavity with water. Cut the head from
body and lay the knife flat at the tail of the fish. Holding the tail firmly
make a slow but steady slice up towards the neck, keeping the blade flat while
traveling along the spine filleting the meat from the bones. Rinse fillets and
store in there cooler. Use the scrapes to feed the sleens.

Cleaning Cabins.
Sweep the floors, change bedding, dust and prepare the rooms each day for that
evenings guest. Empty any of the chamber pots that are in the rooms.

chopped can be restocked in the wood sheds around the Camp.
Tend the Vulo
Take a wheeled cart, rake, broom, baskets and feed buckets to the pens. Rake out
the yard of any debris and put it in the cart. Feed the vulo in the yard,
chasing any laying hens out of the coop to eat. While the vulo are eating ,
gather eggs leaving the small white stones in their place so the hens don't
worry about their missing eggs. clean the shelves and replace straw to the
netting boxes if needed. Rake and sweep out the coop and carry any debris away
in the cart. The eggs need to be washed and inspected for freshness and cracks
before taken to the kitchens.
Cleaning the Animal Pens
Much like cleaning out the coop with the exception of larger waste products.
After the animal is lead out and secured, use a shovel to rid the area of dung.
Rake the floors and apply a light dusting of lime before replacing the straw to
the floor. Clean and refresh the water troughs.
Feeding the Animals
The bosk are herbivores and eat grasses, straws and grains. The vulos are fed
grains. The kaiila, thalarion are fed raw meat . Remember if the animal eats
meat, he will more than likely enjoy you for a meal as well. The tarns are
tended at the tarn cotes and feed in the wild. Please familiarize yourself with
the beast before attempting to feed them.
Herding Verr
These beasts feed in the grassy fields and need to be Shepard together. The
young verr need to be watched over carefully to be sure they don't stray off to
far.
Collecting Dried Bosk Dung
This is used as extra fuel and is not smelly, since it is already dried. It is
to be collected in a sacks as the pens are cleaned and stored to add to the
outside fires to augment the wood supply.
Washing the Animals
Use buckets and brushes to wash them, rinse, then comb or brush their coats .
Polishing and oiling their hooves and horns may also be done as well as
collecting the hair for weaving.
