Being a Cook in the 1860’s
Talk about putting your heart and soul into your work. Kris Keirn of Barstow, California runs a catering business out of an 800-pound, 1860’s chuck wagon wearing a period costume, hauling her own wood and water, cooking over an open fire, sleeping in a cowboy tent at night, and avoiding electricity. All in the style of the 1860’s. She’s even doing research on how people talked during that time so that she can speak to customers as authentically as possible.
I have a hard enough time trying stay current in the 21st century. I don’t know how Ms. Keirn does it.
