    Ah, up until recently, she knew everything, now she knows that she doesn't

    That's a huge step!

    Congrat's to both of you!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    If anyone is interested I have picked up a series of books that talk about the Great Depression in the USA by a lady who lived thru it.She collected a ton of anecdotes from people around the country who also remembered the time as they were growing up along with a ton of recipes from the 30's-40's The title is: Stories and Recipes of the Great Depression of the 1930's by Rita Van Amber. Her daughter is the editor and there are 5 volumes, same title, Notebook size bound with wire spiral. They are fascinating and I've seen recipes that I still use today that I learned growing up.

    Those sound awesome!

    Growing up, my parent's neighbours lived through the depression, and it was amazing how 'frugal' they were, some 60+ years later. I don't think any other situation in the world changed peoples way of thinking as much as the depression did.

    Those do sound good. I remember my grandparents ts telling stories of how they got by during those times. Wish I had written it down.

    Amen to that bp, wish I had written my grandmother's(both of them) recipes down. What they could do with a little food was amazing.As I was the "official" taste -tester (LOL) I hung out in the kitchen watching them putting together a meal for all of us. I still remember how to make meat loaf with cornflakes and eggs and 3 lbs of burger for ten AND have left overs. Grandma, Grandpa, Great grandfather and the 7 of us for Sunday dinners were the best. Sorry I haven't posted on dinner porn lately , things have been so messed up around here. Thanks for the prayers though, they are working. Hopefully next year we will have some good news to share with you all
