Here's a Great Uncle when he was in Leavenworth in 1913. Carl was his name and extrortion was his game.

I lived in a thatched roof house and ate a bunch of An Gorta Mór recipes when I was a kid. A little before I turned 10 we started to make more money, and could actually afford better food and things like a refrigerator.

That's the closest I'll get to anything 1800's outside of infrastructure.
 
Our air conditioning went out a couple of weeks ago and our business has really slowed down, but the monthly ex[enses have not. SO, we are experiencing the MidWest at 99 degrees and 78% humidity in its fullness. Taking cold showers helps. Enjoying ice cream is heavenly. THIS is why people left the South and the MidWest for California if they could afford it, because the only way to escape the heat is to go to a restaraunt, library, or theater. I am living the life of a 19th century person, weather wise and it's very instructive! In the old days, pond ice was sold from the back of an ice wagon in summer for ice boxes. Kids would offer the ice man to fill his bucket with water for a piece of ice to suck on (ice delivery men would pour water over ice to give it a clear, pure look). Ice cream was the rage in the big city becuse it was a new thing that was cold and sweet. Mother's would tell their kids they couldn't swim in the local pond in August because it was "the dog days" of summer. At the time, people didn't know for sure what that phrase meant..... I still don't!

Reading about a broken AC hurts my heart and gives me anxiety. Lol I get violent and angry when I get hot. Lol I'm liable to punch a toddler if I get over 80 in a home. Lol I keep mine at 68 and crisp!

One of my fads goes way back past then. I was very big into foraging. I have not done as much since my kids arrived but I still on occasion will go out and collect wild edible plants and mushrooms to cook and eat. My kids love the mushrooms I bring home.
This afternoon my daughter will be making Indian lemonade with red sumac cones. I’ll also be drying Mullien leaves for tea when I get I have trouble breathing from my allergies.
