The Historic Foodie's (2nd Annual) Summer Feast- Let the feasting begin!

Dear Readers last left me in a flurry to put the last minute touches on The Historic Foodie's Summer Feast.

I welcomed four fellow members of the recreated 28th Massachusetts and a family member who's shy about photographs.

We were more focused on the food and presentation than on the dining experience (and there wasn't really room to serve), so I laid the courses out in a buffet style separately from the dining table.

Here's an overview of the first course.
First Course
 
In dining order, the Course Premiere is...
Fish Chowder














Chilean Sea Bass with Tomatoes














Fish Cakes














Macaroni Pudding














Fried Chicken















Lively conversation delayed the Second Course, in the best way. :-)
Here's an overview, with guests contemplating the dishes ...okay, they were actually hurrying me along with the photos so they could descend like a plague of locusts.
 



The Second Course, in dining order:

Pot Roast Beef,
garnished a la Jardinere















Baked Potatoes














Succotash














Boston Baked Beans














Apple Pie














The Coffee, Tea, and Dessert was served at table; as was a special treat of Lemon and Strawberry Water Ices.

Here are the guests at table. They couldn't say enough how thrilled they were with the feast and stayed much longer than intended, which is a compliment in itself.
