CLIOPATRIA: A Group Blog
Baked
Improper focus on Internet-based procrastination caused me to miss news of another bake-off at the American Antiquarian Society. In this episode, three very old recipes produce apple pies with flavors that range from "perfumy and off-putting" to "vile...gross...disgusting."
One day, I will teach a class on the history of ordinary life in the early United States. And we will bake. Is there a better way to make the past tangible?
