Yesterday’s third annual Historic Foodways Symposium was wonderful, as always. Right now, however, I have good news: I’ll be participating in the second open hearth cooking workshop today. HUZZAH! All is right again with the world. Be sure to check back later for a report. In the meantime, enjoy some photos of Pennsbury Manor:

I registered for Deb Peterson’s Historic Foodways Symposium back in December (2009). It’s today (Saturday). I also signed up, and paid extra, to participate in an open hearth cooking workshop on the Friday prior (yesterday). Then came the threat of yet another snowstorm. An e-mail was sent this past Wednesday to all attendees stating that [...]

A couple-three years ago I found this gridiron on eBay: Now, it’s quite similar to those offered by Historic Housefitters and Landis Valley Museum, so it’s possibly just a reproduction. At the same time, however, it’s rather uneven and wobbly and looks handmade, so it may be a bona fide antique. It’s very like these [...]

Speaking of the upcoming Fireside Feasts program this summer out at Brooklyn’s Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum, click here to see a slide show depicting scenes from past sessions.* Good company and great food were had by all.

2010 Fireside Feasts

Yep, it’s still winter, and there’s plenty of snow all over, piled up on sidewalks and at every street corner. Fear not, however. The heat and humidity of summer will be here soon enough! And with that comes another round of my historic cooking series Fireside Feasts out at Brooklyn’s Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum. HUZZAH! I [...]
treasure hunt

A recent purchase through good ol’ eBay. I’d been looking for something like it a long, LONG time. Reminds me of what I used back in the day while at Conner Prairie (when the interpretive emphasis was on life of the 1830′s and not the mish-mash it is today). I love just gazing at it! [...]

…is the title of the third annual Historic Foodways Symposium, sponsored by Deborah Peterson’s Pantry, to be held Saturday, February 27, 2010. I urge any and all folks who are interested in learning more about the who, what, when, where, why, and how of historic foods (in this case meat), during the 18th Century and [...]
Queen Cakes & Valentine’s Day

Historically, Valentine’s Day is shrouded in mystery. There are several explanations for its celebration, but all are based on mere legend. It is a fact, however, that cards began to be mass-produced around the middle of the 19th century. And, of course, Hallmark soon ran away with the idea. If you’re looking for an appropriate [...]
more snow

With all the snow, at least everywhere but here (although I understand that could change soon), I’ve kinda been grazing through my library, looking for receipts using the fluffy white stuff. I know there are lots of modern ones. In fact, I saw one the other day on someone’s website. So far, though, I’ve not [...]
