Description
My name is Evelyn Ross. In the winter of my sixth year, my mama boiled the same ham bone three times in one week and nobody at our table went to bed hungry. She had flour, she had lard, she had a sack of dried beans, and she had the kind of knowing that turned nothing into enough.
In this video I walk you through every one of them, the way my mama and hers made do.
In this video:
✓ Milk toast
✓ Fried potatoes and onions
✓ Water pie
✓ Dandelion greens with bacon grease
✓ That one used whatever the house had left
✓ Sugar cream pie
✓ Potato pancakes
✓ Egg drop soup, the poor man's way
None of this needs a fancy name or a full pantry. It only ever needed someone willing to make do.
Try one of these this week. Then tell me in the comments what your own mother or grandmother made when there was not much to work with, and how she stretched it. I read every one of them.
Waste nothing, and remember, the women who fed a house through hard years knew things we are only just starting to remember.
