Can a 21st century history nerd with a culinary bent recreate the food of the past? I am certainly going to try. Armed only with a Dutch oven, a sharp knife, and a lot of books, I am cooking the meals eaten by the people of ancient Rome, medieval England, and the American frontier, among other places in the space/time continuum.

Thank you, Santa!
I must not have been too bad this year, because Santa brought me some amazing cooking-related books for Christmas.
Santa must spend a lot of his downtime on the interwebs reading upstart cooking blogs written by eccentric, frazzled, stay-at-home moms.
Children's Book The Popcorn Book by Tomie dePaola might be a fun one for J, it claims 6000 year old popped kernels have been found at archeological sites, and that american settlers ate popcorn soup. I would like to know more about that...
At least now you know your audience!
