#Ootd is this sweet 1775-1785 gown. #ColonialWilliamsburg notes it uses fabric 1725-30 and may have been worn with a stomacher. It was then remade so it had a front closure and the back may have also been altered from a sack back to make it a robe a l'angalise. #Fashionhistory

Wanted something to spruce up my L/O beef and beer stew on spaetzle, so I tried the carrot puff recipe from #ColonialWilliamsburg #Foodways online (inspired, as I always am, from a visit to the Governor’s Palace kitchen). Needed a little salt, but a tasty, colorful way to embellish a fall dish.

Green plate on mottled grayish-brown countertop sitting on a printed recipe labeled Carrot Puffs on the left and a fork on the right. On the plate is a brown beef stew in gravy with bits of diced ham on a bed of yellowish German spaetzle egg noodles with four large orange and browned carrot puffs along the plate’s left side, with some sprigs of basil as garnish.

Spent the final day of vacation at Colonial Williamsburg! Caught the Fifes & Drums show, ate a great meal, and ran through the hedge maze with my daughter. A relaxing end to our trip!

I think a lot about this fabric I saw in #colonialwilliamsburg - especially the level of fine detail for this print.

Second #pride season is almost here! XD

What are you doing for #queer #halloween? I'm going to #colonialwilliamsburg for a lecture on queer 18th century figures.

(I don't know the artist, I'm sorry!!!!)
