A photo essay of the fifth annual “Remember the Ladies” weekend
held at the Old Barracks in Trenton, NJ earlier in June.
****************************************
A few “Ladies” relaxing outside the Barracks.
******************************
“Ladies” who shop! Several sutlers dotted the courtyard of the Barracks,
selling a variety of historic wares to some rather eager customers.
******************************
It wasn’t “Ladies” only. Yes, indeed, a few men were around! And these
two kindly offered their culinary skills Sunday morning, whipping up
yummy eggs and pancakes for our breakfast.
***************
******************************
The Barracks’ own bake oven was put to good use. Queen Cakes, Gingerbread,
and Rusk, were made, using receipts from Polly Burling’s manuscript cookbook.
A blazing fire…
upon reaching the proper temperature, the coals were raked out…
and in went the historic goodies.
******************************
“Remember the Ladies” was fabulous fun. I can’t wait ’til next years’!
HUZZAH!
Oh, and finally, here’s yours truly (right).
