Colonial cooking

 Our Elizabeth is totally immersed in Colonial American history and she is bringing the rest of the family in with her.  This past weekend was Father's Day so they had us up to their cottage and we/they cooked a meal over an open fire, just like a Colonial encampment.  Well, maybe not just like it, but it sure was our best attempt.

    Son-in-law skewered an eggplant as part of the experiment. We thought that would turn to eggplant mushyness and fall off but it didn't.  It didn't cook to mush level. 

                                                               There was a pot of veggie stew

                                                                            And biscuits

We may not be up to the par of Jennie's Bernie and Josh and their open fire cooking but for our first attempt this was absolutely luscious.  We sat there thinking of what to try next...chicken?  turkey?  We might ask Bernie or Josh what they recommend.

PH and I then went less than an hour to his brother and SIL's cabin for three days of boats, cards and more eating WELL. Summer is looking pretty good and it's only mid-June!
