C.W. Reenacting dinner

Posted on March 30, 2015 by pwarner Posted in Uncategorized

Part of the fun of Civil War Reenacting is cooking a meal so good the company lick their plates. I enjoy serving a hearty breakfast and a rib-sticking stew for supper. Lunch is on their own. As all reenactors, I want to maintain my authenticity, but I also enjoy visiting with friends, shopping at the sutlers’ and of course watching the battle. I don’t want to spend my entire day stoking the fire and poking the carrots and potatoes to see if they are done. So I cook everything ahead of time. The entire stew is done, then frozen solid, and thawed over the weekend in my cooler, which is always carefully hidden from view. I bring the pot into my tent, tie my flaps and dump the stew into the pot, cover with a lid and put over the fire. Within 20-30 minutes depending on the heat of the fire, dinner is ready! Do you have any hints? Next week: Mexican breakfast. And one day cobbler.

Like an elephant giving birth

Posted on March 15, 2015 by pwarner Posted in Uncategorized

How long does it take for an elephant to give birth? I don’t know. It can’t be as long as having a book published. Yes, I know. Unconditional Surrender should have been released on New Year’s Eve. That didn’t happen. Now the date is April 22, but don’t run to Amazon just yet. It is a very long process. And exhausting too, but it will be well worth it. I have dreamed of being published for 20 years. A few more months won’t make a difference. Just don’t forget about me!
