Glastonbury Festival Storytellers

[hangovermonkey1975]

Hi there!

I saw some really good storytellers at the Glastonbury Festival of
Performing Arts in 2003 and got the feeling they were part of a group
of storytellers.

Has anyone here performed at Glastonbury - I'd love to do this but
don't know how to go about it and if there's already an established
group.
Cheers!

top crust and with a fork, seal the crusts together
then poke holes in top.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie crust is golden brown.



Sudden Infant Death Soup

SIDS: delicious in winter, comparable to old fashioned Beef and Vegetable Soup.
Its free, you can sell the crib, baby clothes, toys, stroller... and so easy to
procure if such a lucky find is at hand (just pick him up from the crib and
he?s good to go)!

SIDS victim, cleaned
œ cup cooking oil
Carrots
onions
broccoli
whole cabbage
fresh green beans
potato
turnip
celery
tomato
œ stick butter
1 cup cooked pasta (macaroni, shells, etc.)

Remove as much meat as possible, cube, and brown in hot oil.
Add a little water, season, then add the carcass.
Simmer for half an hour keeping the stock thick.
Remove the carcass and add the vegetables slowly to the stock,
so that it remains boiling the whole time.
Cover the pot and simmer till vegetables are tender
(2 hours approximately).
Continue seasoning to taste.
Before serving, add butter and pasta,
serve piping with hot bread and butter.



Offspring Rolls

Similar to Vietnamese style fried rolls, they have lots of meat
(of course this can consist of chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp).
Who can resist this classic appetizer; or light lunch served with
a fresh salad? Versatility is probably this recipe?s greatest virtue,
as one can use the best part of a prime, rare, yearling, or the

I know a few people who have done some things at Glastonbury, a group
called Firesprings for instance have performed at the Chalice Well.

This Sunday, there is a story-telling competition for the'Bardic Chair
of the Avalon Marshes' at the Peat Moors Centre not far from
Glastonbury - see
http://www.somerset.gov.uk/somerset/cultureheritage/heritage/pmc/events
I might go along, maybe even compete.

But then, Halloween is an evening when you can't stir abroad without
seeing a boggart or a witch or a storyteller!
