Photo taken of me by Krista Jasillo
This may be the last year that that takes place, as the site is changing their format to focus on the 1930's revival when the site was saved. Sigh...we had a good time while there! I was scheduled to hearth cook at Patrick Henry's Scotchtown on 10 November; however, the Mother Nature kept us very wet this past year, and the Mount Vernon Market and Craft Fair was rescheduled from September to 10 November!

I have some awesome photos of the event - as usual - we outdid ourselves! This year, it was just Krista Jasillo and I doing the cooking - and boy were we busy! Kerry McClure and Lynn Price were in the house interpreting two Washington ladies - Mrs. Anna Washington and Mrs. Betty Washington Lewis.
Pictures speak a thousand words - so here you go!
Bread Pudding and a Coddling Tart in the works!

Putting the Bread Pudding in the dish
Selfie time! We had such a great time. It is very hard to talk to the public and create the meal that we did, but we did it!
Main meal - Fried cauliflower, stewed mushrooms, coddling tart, baked ham, pickled red cabbage, fried sausages and apples, corn relish, rotisserie chicken, bread pudding, roasted carrots/potatoes/ onions/turnips, and stuffing

Dessert - Spice small cakes, cheddar cheese, grapes, cocoa almonds, sugared cherries, plums, sugar small cakes, glazed walnuts, provolone cheese, and candied ginger
To drink - apple cider, lemonade, and water
Every year we provide all scraps (not meat) to the pigs on site! It is our contribution to making them happy little oinkers
