@ Jem...@ Laura ~ Thanks! Good luck to you as well.<br /><br />@ Jemima ~ stories is a good way to do these posts. Good luck to you as well!<br /><br />@ Janeal ~ I'm glad I don't empty those pots either. ;)<br /><br />@ Julie ~ I often wonder who does the work at the homes of these workers as well. They do add lots more spice to the stories. :DMel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-31622294599777883802013-04-11T16:38:10.526-07:002013-04-11T16:38:10.526-07:00I tend to find the folks in the chamber and the ki...I tend to find the folks in the chamber and the kitchen are much more interesting... and with any sort of luck, more multidimensional than the "stars" of any castle.<br /><br />It's interesting to think: like, does the baker bake at home?

It used to take so much longer to do the ordinary things like cooking. <br /><br />I had a sampling of this when we visited a friend's cabin with a wood-burning stove.
