I guess that makes 3 of us. I do about 90% of the cooking. I’ve just started trying to bake bread. Did 2 sourdough loaves yesterday. Net cost; about $1 for the flour and salt and the ammortized cost of the sourdough starter. Was pleased with the results. OK so I brew my own beer, raise bees and a garden and cook most things from scratch. Where do people find time to watch tv?
.
I don’t know why. TV is not entertaining any more. Nothing but liberal news and propaganda. I guess, they enjoy being told what they want to hear - that they are all victims of something caused by somebody else, and the government better find the solution fast and fix it for them. So they wait for the government to find them a job, raise the minimum wage, provide healthcare, etc while they sit around the TV.
Making bread is tougher than it looks, I’m working on it. The only bread I make regularly is cornbread - the kind mama used to make. Some meals you just got to have cornbread. Like New Years - black-eyed peas (home canned) and cornbread (home made) are a tradition in the South.
I have had a victory garden for the last 35 years. I had to give up my bees and winemaking when I became diabetic. I am thinking of trying to make a batch of wine again (for Mrs. Texicanus) if my apparatus stored in the barn is still functional. I have also been looking into fish farming.
When I was younger, I had some really bad experiences. I learned how to survive by planning ahead in the good times and cutting expenses in the bad times. I also learned a man can’t serve two masters.
