Morgan, you are making me hungry. Delicious recipes and drooly good pictures. As hungry as they make me, I am trying to connect them somehow with being on the trail with either the Corps of Discovery (Seaman and the gang) or the Corps of ReDiscovery 02. If you would use dates and put a little opening paragraph telling where and when you might eat such delicacies, it would show how these tie in with what we are studying and discovering. Without such a lead in, they are (just) delicious. Some of the ingredients and some of the words don't seem possible in 1805, but would be possible in 2002.
