My second thought was....maybe she had the only entries!!!
NPR would never tell us that (I didn’t read the article!!)...
At our county fair in TX, we used to have a whole building of food, plantings, quilts, etc. Now, you get one per category. Very sad. No home economics classes in high school I guess...and you can tell as homes are about prepackaged food.
Yep processes change. No longer having to spend days in the
hot fields tilling, planting, tending, picking, processing food
for the next season.
Just run down to the corner store and pick up what you need.
Throw the container into the recycle or trash bin and go on.
My mom NEVER cooked I taught myself probably had every damn cookbook ever published until the internet happened!! I LOVE TO COOK, I also LOVE cleaning as I go along for some ODD reason it relaxes me I enjoy it so much!!
