Re: Depression Cooking
My grandma grew up (during the Depression) cooking for her family of 12 on the cotton farm. That was her job from the time she was 8 or so years old. I tried to learn from her, but she never used measuring cups...she used her hands to scoop "about this much" flour or cornmeal or whatever.
We've tried to recreate her recipes, but they're just not the same. At least Clara actually has measurements.
