Hello and welcome! I'm happy that you've stumbled upon me here. I hope that I may get to know you through comments, as much as you will learn a bit of me by way of my blog. Though not accurately dictating real time, this is a true to life journal. It is my intent to explore how the old ways can be incorporated into our modern lifestyle, to include any recipes that fit the course. I also hope to do a few experiments in doing without the things we take for granted within our industrialized nation. Ready to use hot water, electricity, and various cleaning agents are usually the last things we worry about anymore.
I suspect some experiments will be incredibly inconvenient. Many may feel more as if a disaster has stricken, as there's no access to a wood burning stove for cooking or heating at my house. Throughout history, though, there are those that lived on very little from their own modern ways of life and made do. Recipes, at least, are easily adaptive and I love going through the old product pamphlets and cookery books, trying things since out of fashion. I will do my best to chronicle some of those recipes, and my opinion of them, but always through story.
I hope to publish a new post early on Monday mornings. They will inevitably range in length and content, yet I still hope I do not bore the snot out of you! In fact, I sincerely hope you enjoy yourself. If you find yourself with a good idea for a post, have a question, or if something seems to be malfunctioning on this site, contact me by filling out the form below.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
