>Thursday I'll cook at home. Boil up some chicken. Make a hefty stew with
>lots of juice.
<snip>
Pack the extra broth separately from the stew. Most times when I re-heat
stew, the broth has all been absorbed & I have to add more water.

>Sat. lunch: bring out the cold chicken and use the white garlic sauce.
>breads, fruits, cheeses. (wanna keep that one a lighter meal.)
Sounds good so far! One note from personal experience -- be careful how
you store the cooked chicken so that it doesn't wind up swimming in the
meltwater from the ice chest.
>Sat. dinner: a veggie dish that I'm still trying to figure out/find
> - Cherry and Peach puddings (non-alcohol pudding for the hobbits, as well
>as the leftover fried porridge with raisins and syrup poured over)
You are relying on leftovers -- do you have a method to store them safely?
> others are bringing: salmon steak (not period, but it's a start)

Of course it is! Here is a recipe from Harleian 4016, c. 1450 (From "Take
1000 Eggs or More, v.2, p. 350). I haven't tried it, but it sounds
delicious!
Harleian MS. 4016

154 Salmon roasted in Sauce. Take a Salmon, and cut him round, backbone
and all, and roast the pieces on a gridiron; And take wine, and powder of
Cinnamon, and draw it through a strainer; And take small minced onions, and
cast thereto, and let them boil; And then take vinegar, or verjuice, and
powdered ginger, and cast thereto; And then lay the salmon in a dish, and
cast the syrup thereon all hot, & serve it forth.
Good luck!
