While still at the Dig House, we planned American Dinner. Professor Bagnall brought me brown sugar and chocolate chips from New York, so I made chocolate chip cookies, and we cobbled together a version of Mark Bittman's basic chili recipe. There were also deviled eggs, green beans, mashed potatoes, and sweet iced tea. It only took four hours and 14 people!
Here's Jessica boiling tomatoes to get their skins off.
I'm peeling garlic, Jessica's gutting tomatoes.
Stirring up the chili (We had to make it in three pots to fit it all! Two were vegetarian, one had little chunks of beef - we didn't have a meat grinder...)
Our beautiful cookies!
The beautifully set table. Doesn't it look nice?
