So for the new year, I’m researching recipes from the Great Depression. And yes I realize that Clara has a corner on the market with her recipes, video’s and stories of what it was actually like to live during the depression. I can’t compete with that. And I’m not about to try. I just want to try making a few of the more obscure recipes that were invented during the depression.

Good afternoon!
Wondering if I’ve dropped off the face of the planet? Darn close! It’s been an extremely hectic, long, busy and fun past several weeks. I’m in Tioga North Dakota at the moment. Tioga is approximately 8 and a half hours from Helena. Basically…it’s a really long drive from my house.

This recipe is a true experiment. It’s basically goulash, but kicked into a bit of a heat overdrive.
I’ll have photos for this at a later day. It’s to dark tonight to take any.

Good Morning All!
I woke up this morning, checked my email, and in my inbox was a quick note from Susanne of the “Hillybilly Housewife” blog, which you can find here. Susanne had blogged about video’s that can be found on YouTube, of depression era cooking, hosted by Clara, a 91 year old lady from upstate New York. Clara was born in Chicago in 1915 to Sicilian immigrant parents and learned to cook from her mother.

Let me introduce my friends (well it’s really me) “The Skirts”. The Skirts are a bit like a sorority, in the sense that we all come together to make this unique mess. Me!
