Hey, this used to be a lively site. Perhaps me just "using" it was wrong!
THAT WILL CHANGE! For all of you out there who missed Mrs Beeton on-line,
here is a link:

http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au...ton/household/

It is BRILLIANT!

I want more interaction in this group, it is NOT all about history, although
that is important too.

Mail me, privately or through the group.

Wouldn't dream of it. Most of her dinners seem to involve having a cook
and/or servant. Have used her individual recipes on occasion.

LOL! If the rest of the family were better cooks and knew how to serve
properly, I wouldn't need to do it, now would I?

Used to do Mediaeval dinners as well when I dabbled in SCA, but haven't
done that since.

Did you see 'The 1900 House'? The labor involved must have been
collosal.

'The Manor House' was Edwardian, but even with a troop of servants,
couldn't have been easy to entertain.

Geez, I love electricity -- light, refrigeration, vacuum cleaner,
washer, light.

The one I liked best recently was No 54, which took you all through the
life of a house and showed the different kitchens and food as well as
the rest of the house.
