P.S. Pioneer Day!

I hope my kids remember that when they were smaller,
on Pioneer Day, I would make a "Pioneer Dinner".
This usually consisted of baked beans/pork and beans,
(canned, not homemade)
served up pioneer-style in old Marie Callendar pie tins.
I would put some burlap on the table for a table cloth,
and we would eat by the lite of our
kerosene lanterns, with wooden spoons.
If I was really feeling fancy,
I added hot dogs to the mix.
We drank water out of mason jars (????)
Sometimes we would even have
dutch oven peach cobbler, with ice cream.
Very pioneer-y, don't you think?
