It was hands-down one of the worst meals I've ever eaten, as attested to the fact that I've never forgotten it. <br />Glad you are better at this than I am, although, I'm praying the day comes soon when you are hosting the feast for others to enjoy.Karen Spears Zachariashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633233371353790487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153049997496025695.post-10293836567444025052011-02-24T19:29:02.993-06:002011-02-24T19:29:02.993-06:00food adventures are grand.

She once prepared a soup from stuff that I had thought was the compost bin but nope, just leaves of cabbages, and parts of vegetables she would save at a later date to make into a big ol' stock or soup (and it was yummy!) I thought such frugality bizarre but as I age, I admire this skill, where you can buy a chicken and not let any part of it go to waste - not one little bit. Not that they were poor by any means but her saying (like my mother) was always: "look after the pennies and the pounds (British pounds) will take care of themselves". How true.<br /><br />Hate that you are having to be so creative in the kitchen as a reminder of H's current unemployment situation but it's a life skill we should all aim to achieve, even in the more affluent times.fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186747798369796772noreply@blogger.com
