    It may be cliché to say that a meat tastes like chicken...but rabbit really does taste like chicken.
    To Make a White Fricasey - The Art of Cookery Made Plain & Easy, 1774 edition
    1 rabbit, cut into sections bone-in OR deboned and cut small
    Half a pound of mushrooms, I used button mushrooms
    1/4 pint of cream
    1 cup of milk
    2 cups of water
    2 tablespoons of butter
    1/3 teaspoon mace
    1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
    Salt & pepper to taste
    Into a pot place your cut up rabbit with water & milk enough to just cover it. Simmer gently till tender, or about 10-15 minutes. In a separate skillet combine cream, butter, mace, nutmeg, salt, pepper & mushrooms. Stir frequently and cook until the mushrooms are soft, or about 5 minutes. Take the rabbit out of the pot and place into the skillet with your cooked cream & mushrooms. Stir up well and cook for a few minutes more before platting up.
    My Go-To Bread Recipe, 1750s from Kaskaskia Illinois
    I've talked about this bread literally A DOZEN TIMES NOW so it may not come as a surprise to some but goodness do I love this bread recipe! It was kindly provided by a descendent of the original writer, who wrote down this recipe in French in the 1750s in Kaskaskia, Illinois. Like many in the area she was a French immigrant who settled in the French Territories around modern day St. Louis. We live right across the river in Ste. Genevieve Missouri. I wouldn't be surprised if similar breads were eaten here. I use Rouge de Bordeaux flour, the most likely variety that was grown here in the early 1800s.
    My go-to bread recipe:
    3 cups of flour
    1 to 1.5 cups of warm water
    A generous dollop of sorghum (or honey, molasses)
    1 teaspoon of salt
    1 tablespoon of active dry yeast (substitute with a few spoonful's of home-grown yeast for period accuracy)
    Combine the flour, salt, sorghum, yeast and warm water in a bowl. Combine until well blended. Set aside in a warm place to let rise for 1 hour. After an hour kneed your dough on a well floured surface. Divide into 4 equal chunks. You may divide it into 6 pieces if you'd like smaller rolls. Form into rolls then again place in a warm place to rise for another hour. After the hour bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Halfway through rub the tops with butter. These come out especially golden when baked using coals.

      Actually, the Pilgrims are often depicted in popular culture as wearing only black and white clothing, with large buckles on their shoes and hats and long white collars. This stereotypical Pilgrim, however, is not historically accurate. The Pilgrims, in fact, wore a wide variety of colors. This is known because when a person died, an inventory was made of their estate for the purpose of probate: and often the color of various clothing items were mentioned. For example, long-time church member, Mary Ring, died in Plymouth in 1633, and her estate included a "mingled-color" waistcoat, two violet waistcoats, three blue aprons, a red petticoat, a violet petticoat, blue stockings, and white stockings. In addition, she owned gray cloth, blue cloth and red cloth, ready to make additional clothing. Plymouth's Church Elder William Brewster, who died in 1644, owned green pants, a red cap, a violet coat, and a blue suit. And Governor William Bradford, when he died in 1657, owned a green gown, violet cloak, and a red waistcoat.

    I was thinking of Mish-Mish when I watched this video. What a beautiful cat! I wondered when cats first came to the US. I found some neat articles on how cats first came over with the colonists on boats and were used to protect food stores. In the 1700s they were used to control mice and rat populations. Cats weren't really considered the dear companions they are today until the 1800s, and they weren't really common house pets either until 1940 when kitty litter was invented.
