COLUMBUS — Food and fun were on the agenda at the Jan. 28 meeting of the Dilue Rose Harris Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. Members met for a meal prepared from very old recipes.
The main course was a delicious and juicy marinated chicken from a 200 year old recipe. It paired with a tasty wild rice dish from an old family recipe. On the side was a lovely garden salad.
For an additional taste, there were various local foraging greens such as dandelions and henbit; pioneers would have used these in the 1800s. And of course, bread was served at every meal. Two versions of no kneed quick breads were offered, a heavy, dense Irish soda bread, and a very quick and easy peasant yeast bread.
