Fermented Duck Food
This winter I tried fermenting my ducks food. I’d read that it has benefits for their digestion and nutrient absorption. To be honest I’m still not sure if that’s true as it took multiple tries and a lot of chipping frozen food our of their pan before they ate...
Knock-off Zuppa Tuscana
I figured I'd share one of my first recipes which hasn't had it's chance to shine on this new site. This is a clear knock off of an Olive Garden favorite. It hits the spot in the middle of harsh Wyoming winters and makes kale palatable for even the...
Historybounding Buckaroo Look-Book
When I first got into the HB subculture scene it was through classic vintage creators and a few Edwardian styled fashion historians. I loved it, vintage silhouettes tend to flatter my shape more than modern ones and a bit of eyeliner makes me feel fancy. The main caveat for...
Ten BIPOC Historybounding and Historical Costuming Influencers You Should Be Following
When I set out to write this, I had the idea of doing multiple posts and splitting them into follower counts. As you can imagine though, with the exception of a few they all fell into a lower count number. This is common across many verticals in the social...

Wyoming has long had a history of being very rural, being one of the states where most of the population still gets most of their food from places other than a grocery store. And its food culture has long been seen as desolate, but underneath that is a rich...
Foraged Chokecherry Syrup
Chokecherry syrup and jelly have become a staple in my household the past three years, even so much so I gave away some as a wedding favor. In late summer this tart, little, stone fruit turn black and become bursting with juice. So, named for their astringent qualities they...
Practical Magic
For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to...
Game Hen Soup
This soup is a great way to stretch out a whole roast bird of any kind. I make it from Cornish game hens, because they are the closest thing to chicken that Bill will eat. I’m writing this while on the first week of isolations in my state and...
