A Medieval Feast

Okay, we didn't follow the directions exactly for the medieval feast Laura helped prepare this week.  For one, we used silverware.  We did have a good time though.  Laura prepared her trenchers, and daddy liked them with the stew.

The stew was beef and made in a crock pot.  Not exactly authentic either, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway.  It was a fun experience for Laura to help prepare a meal for her family.  It went along with her history study of medieval times.  We planned out what to eat.  Laura did a great job of explaining to everyone what and how people ate during the time period... and all the things we did that weren't how it would have been done then.  Overall, though, it was a fun and filling meal.
