Jeanne Marie could answer much of this better than I could. We buy a lot of things. Fish, eels, and shellfish from merchants as well. Jeanne Marie makes sausages and I make cheese, but not often because we don't keep cows. We get salt from M. Jehan's cousin, Thibault.
Cooking is done in the kitchen, over the hearth.
We have some claypots, cauldrons and pipkins, and one or two metal ones. Our utensils are metal or wood. Every once in a while someone's pig or goat gets loose and ends up in Jeanne Marie's herb garden. Than I have to put a rope on it and take it to the pound. It's a crime to keep a stray, but I can usually get damages from the owner.
