I'm Baaaaack....sort of.

Hi people, so after a blogging hiatus, I am back to share a video about Depression Era Recipes. Cheery! I have always been interested in how The Great Generation cooked and what their experiences were, particularly with day-to-day life. One of my favorite cookbooks is a coobook with WWII recipes and histories.

You have got to check out this not too short (about 7:00min.) video of Clara, preparing Pasta and Peas. This is the first video in the series. Pay particular attention to the way she peels potatoes about a paper towel and cubes the potatoes in her hand without setting it on the cutting board. This is the way I remember my Mamaw doing it (although I know MAMAW doesn't remember it that way! :P).

I haven't the slightest idea how to embed the actual video, nor do I care! Hey, I am doing well to even update the blog! Look people, I refuse to even text message!
