Just make sure that anything you wear doesn't dangle, trip, or in other ways
be likely to catch fire.  Droopy sleeves are fine if you can tie them out of
your way and be *sure* they stay that way.  Make yourself a couple of
knee-length, close-armed "grungy" T-tunics for cooking and you'll be a lot
happier.

Also, go to your nearest thrift store and pick up any pots you might want. 
They're cheap so you won't mind if they get rather nastry.  Make sure you
bring bags or boxes to store them in so they don't get all over everything
else.  My mother swears by oven cleaner for cleaning them, but that's not too
feasible until you get them home.

Don't forget something to brew coffee in and a pot for hot water for tea,
cocoa, whatnot.  I know cocoa's not period, but try getting most kids to drink
anything else hot!
