The thing about authentic meals is that it gets boring fast, so I see why my group likes to try more exciting things. I'm okay with boring. :)Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-4985714429860309402012-06-23T15:51:39.914-04:002012-06-23T15:51:39.914-04:00Thank you for a lovely blog!

At events like Manassas, people set up their tents and then left the camp for their hotel rooms or went out to dinner. After I finally found the camp (which wasn't in the right place), everyone was gone. There was no fire and I had no cooking utensils. I had brought some bread and ham and cheese in a small ice chest, but there was nowhere to get ice (the ice vendors by that stopped making their rounds) What ice I did bring melted and made half the rolls soggy, I'm pretty sure the ham spoiled. When I had to evacuate the camp from heat sickness I just left the stuff there and told the guys in my company to eat whatever food was okay in my tent. It ended up getting thrown out.<br /><br />Of course now I'm smarter.<br /><br />It makes more sense to eat the kind of foods they ate, of course they didn't require refrigeration because there was no such thing. If it needs to be kept cold, don't bring it. It's just not a good idea.WannabeSoldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358110028731137921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-65198983828946148112012-06-20T08:50:53.527-04:002012-06-20T08:50:53.527-04:00I'm still looking for more recipes.I'm still looking for more recipes.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-34590459576817789062012-06-20T08:50:36.744-04:002012-06-20T08:50:36.744-04:00Let me know if you come up with some others.Let me know if you come up with some others.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-74058148464353697242012-06-20T08:50:09.250-04:002012-06-20T08:50:09.250-04:00I didn't think of that but I re-read it again ...I didn't think of that but I re-read it again and see what you meant. :D Yes, these are good foods to cook when it's hot.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-13591309656782775652012-06-20T08:49:13.407-04:002012-06-20T08:49:13.407-04:00You always make some ice cream, right? :)You always make some ice cream, right? :)Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-88916759840723889722012-06-19T19:30:01.457-04:002012-06-19T19:30:01.457-04:00I am a cook in one of the historical houses a the ...I am a cook in one of the historical houses a the Genesee Country Village and Museum in Western NY.
