Real interested in your uses for turmeric. My mother was a nurse back in the early 1900s, but also used home remedies. We also made homemade bandages the same way your mother did. Had a huge rag bag. In fact, when I was first married, I had to beg some of mothers rags til I got my own supply established. Paper towels had not been invented then. No plastic wrap either. Just imagine. When bread started coming in plastic bags, we washed the bags, dried them over a milk bottle and used them over and over.
I think it was DelaWhere that gave us an inexpensive source for ordering herbs in bulk. I intended to get together with my daughters and order all the spices and herbs we all needed, but never did (sigh).
having trouble posting this. Guess I spelled DelaWhere incorrectly so have stopped trying to ping him. Hope this is not a duplicate post.
wow, no paper towels are plastic wrap. It’s amazing all the things we take for granted today. Did you have foil?
This is the sort of thing I found so interesting when granny posted it. I’m so glad you’re here upcountry miss!
I thought DelaWhere was the right spelling… But I don’t know if he’s around anymore
DW, We were wondering if you were still around?
I searched and his last post was 12/10/17. Almost recent!
Though it’s hardly inexpensive, there are
