He. Said. Knowing there's. Just. No. Place For You got really good. Why didn't you just turn it in there. Looks real. Thank you. Oh my. God. What are you. Not getting. On.
This. Yeah go devil. It's for grinding the herbs. They would had an herb garden outside the door. It's a curbside joining the party. Read. The whole. Sequence of words. I thought it was me. You mean if we turn that large log or push it back over there's another. What story do you. Think girls would like to welcome. The good.
Old. Good morning boys and girls would like to welcome you to Mary Cooper's kitchen. We're going to cook for you today some of the things that we think the Cooper family would have eaten at this time of year in this kitchen. They were going to be preparing some chicken and some acorn squash and they could have stored squash that was harvested in the fall. Some cornbread. Do you know him who introduced corn to the early settlers who introduced corn to the early settlers in this country. Yes the Indians are right and we had to let the Indians in this area. They said we're going to prepare corn meal in a corn bread which is cooking on the fire. The acorn squash. And we have a king's onion soup. First we're going to start with our chicken which we flowered. We're going to put it in the pan now this pan is. A little different looking. You see it has legs and it's called a spider. Mind you have a spider and that has legs it's like a frying pan that your mother might have at home. It has highlighted so that we can shovel coals
underneath. And with the calls we get the heat to cook our children. I'd like you to look around our kitchen and think how this kitchen is different than your kitchen at home. The refrigerator door. Downstairs. Or we might. Possibly. Thought. About. Where we would like to go and. Do what you want. Want to. Bring in. Our We did it. Today. We. Turn. Right. We're going to be using the fire. The fire provided light and heat. Also a source. For cooking keeping the house more.
Remember that even in the summertime they had to use the fire even though it was funny work outside. They had to use the fire inside. You know we're going to go. To work. That will be ready to cook and then we're going to share your cornbread. That we may. Be the new suit over the fire. Trammell. Painted. On. The Windows. So that we can raise or lower the pit to get hotter. We're further away from the fire that's how we regulate our temperature. At home your mother turns the dial on the murder. For Hire. We have to move the pot away from the. Well. It. Will. Be. The
time stay right. Here with you. It was nice. In here. Now when one. Is up close to the fire when one. Has. Done pot. Turns around. Her. Friend her you are. Told. To read. Right. Now what we're going to regret here it's hard to show you this utensil. They had the kids and the children all mother prepared me and this is something she wanted yes. This isn't. The devil. You no longer have in your. Hands you. Are on. Hold. Driver. You're not going to. Take a pinch of your. Hand and go. Home.
And really. Did a really good story and she made a little teary. Spices and herbs. Already ground. But some. Will pass and. You. Smell it. See her. Nicely. You know let me taste this. Made my day. Yes I would. This would. Be. Right just not sure if this is the way they purchased their shoes or. They have a sniff and they would have to see it for you now they need it and then growing to it with a mortar and custom. You notice everything is done my hand here we have no electricity. So anything you may have. A nice appliance at home today. We're beating we're mixing your food we have to do it.
You. Will use. This. This is the way this is made of birch twigs of the bark is just whittled off and it's tied together. We used to mix the usage of it's the corn bread. This. Was the most. That. We had heard that. They were. Run by. The US are very good. The women must be. Stronger. And this had better educate. Them we said Bass is the spice that we have sprinkled on here.
We also frequently you. May. Just. A vessel that is graded. For the other is Ginger and ginger. Root is. Ginger Root. And this is grated also. Today we showed you cooking in the spider where we have our chicken pot hiding over the fire and the trammel. The judge of it. This is what we call our acorn squash and he is from the bottom and the top. We can also use this for baking this good for in case we didn't want to go into the long process. Of TV or radio that. This is. Our big dog. It's a big thing when you go on our your way out the leaders in their own. Sticking out from this wall that's what you are looking into now. And in order to beat this song they did maybe they did it once a week take them. To build a
fire in the oven. With the logs and let it burn down for several hours. Then we have the hot coals have heated the bricks of the external libraries. We have to sweep out all the coals. The greying. Close the doors. And then it will bake. When our fire is the way we pull out it was the black smoke that was going up the chimney. That's from heating to break up. With me. Case when we go to bait me. And close the door. Now we don't have a window. So the skill of the cook was to tell when things were done and what temperature. He had. Practice learn just how cold some things which may. Be. Another way back. Called the. Roasting. Tin.
Yes. And you saw it here we can pull up. A chicken. Or turkey. Or house. Or kitchen. You're. Welcome to. New day. Hey. You is here. Chicken Run here. With these folks. And we'll start out close to the fire. To dry off in the kitchen. Come here brothers. You're one of the jobs they have. To turn. Right. Turn and very little children learn there and he sees my good. Friend. And then when they finish the alphabet they knew it was time to go on to the next photo. When you were. Looking. You took pictures. And. Bravery. To trip him with the forecast. This. Didn't waste anything in the colonial days. Any idea what they. Know. They used to race. Yes they say green and
then once or twice a year usually in the summer. So. We have. Some of the utensils that we usually think be familiar with the living have a big cast iron. Some of them are a little different. This is a wooden spoon and we have a name. Call this tree where we are eating and training and it's one reason why this car the handle is not separate from a boat like this. This bowl that we use are all treating where. Today we make separate attach a handle but this was carved out of one piece of wood. But sometimes they have a picture. You would have a. Container. With a handle on it that was all carved out of one piece. So we have lots of. Wooden. Iron. Utensils. Do you have any when. You look. Like. A lot harder.
All day taxes than they would in their main meal at lunch time. And we get up early and have something. That's easy to prepare for breakfast and then the House would start preparing a large meal for the afternoon. The smaller meal. Yes. We could have had a deal like this for dinner for the luncheon you know which is a large mirror cornbread the chicken the acorn squash. Then we have it. OK we're going to try to collate the top of the cake that we bait. Always that will go to a child who's never going to take it. Away for iron. That is in the fire. You know. Here. They were reading one of the fire this was used to make cookies wafers right. This one has a decoration on a date. So 1763 we think perhaps it was a wedding present because it's dated and it has a heart and initials
S. W. and w that it would be placed right on this you might have a waiver on your own waffle iron and how do you think it works very similar. You put this in the fire gets red hot but the better in between it squeeze it together. And it will cook in the open and you have a thin slice of cookie. You know there are many different callings this is just a specific type a way for. You'll notice the other way from where we have a smaller it's circular. The design is different. I'm trying to get this one red hot. When it's. It's very hot here and there it has to glaze. OK. They were put in your. Order. And that's right they're. Going to. Give our chickens return here. OK I had to replace the
whole mess that he. Was and work all. Week. And send it. Right her face to the corner.
