My most favorite thing to do is research my family history and since I got the Ancestry DNA test done I have been having a lot of matches to relatives in the 18th century. I love reading about what my relatives were doing back in that time period. And to help with that there is a gentleman on YouTube that has a channel dedicated to the people who lived during that time. He shows how they cooked, dressed and what they used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqI2HHDKCCc
I find it really fun to actually have a live reference to actually see how they lived during that time. I also have found how to preserve and learn the old ways to preserve foods the way the way they did back then. It has helped in my prepping also.
