Hello Goodmoles and goodmice and dibbuns and elders and Guosim and anyone else who may arrive on this page. I have been distracted by a sidequest inspired by my son's 12th birthday. For his birthday at the beginning of April, I got him the complete Redwall novels (all 22). He has been tearing through them and sharing his favorite moments and characters with me. It has been an amazing and nostalgic experience seeing him enjoy these books the way I did at his age (and still do).

One of the things that has strongly struck him as it struck me is the fabulous descriptions of food and feasts. Bluesky has the wonderful Redwall Feasts Bot if you want to be suddenly hungry every time you log in to Bluesky. And I frequently get handed a page to read that he found particularly spectacular... only to find myself reading a long list of amazing food.

I love feeding people. And I love reading about food. And why don't we have feasts like Redwall does? I mean yeah, we don't live in a communal society where everybody works hard to make these feasts happen, but fasting and feasting are important cycles of life, and I think we should embrace them more. The thought had infected me and I found myself thinking I should host monthly feasts for people that are Redwall-inspired. Rich, seasonal vegetable and fruits, old-world style dishes, too much variety to be remotely reasonable... sounds great. And I built a little webpage to help me plan it. And then made it pretty so other people would enjoy looking at it too. You can see it on the right-hand sidebar of my website here, the link titled "Redwall Feasts". Or you can click right here: Redwall Feasts.
