We both cook very well. People love to eat here because it is great food, good company, and lively conversation. All by following the same guidelines you just stated. Personally, bread is one of the easiest things to make, alter, and depend upon for great meals. Once you learn bread, you have the best start at being the best cook. Great advice.NW MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646968005982342250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-26684664019749026162019-12-26T09:10:25.652-06:002019-12-26T09:10:25.652-06:00Thanks for reminding us of this good sound advice....Thanks for reminding us of this good sound advice.56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-13811554405999140372019-12-09T06:38:02.239-06:002019-12-09T06:38:02.239-06:00good advice and makes sensegood advice and makes senseThe JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860982258621823529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-44319296421754261182019-12-08T11:28:26.685-06:002019-12-08T11:28:26.685-06:00YES!

I love that you post about canning and stockpiling...and cutting down on variety of foodstuffs bought. Looking at all the pictures of the delicious food you make, it's easy to see how versatile just a few ingredients can be! Very inspiring and a breath of fresh air these days.

Hubby prefers the old favorites, too. With the coming crop shortages/failures due to a deep solar minimum, buying at sales and being a versatile cook (and preserver) will be skills to learn (and practice) again. I so enjoy your posts, please keep them coming!RV Trip USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945134386368306817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-18279836338325155042019-12-07T12:22:47.620-06:002019-12-07T12:22:47.620-06:00I loved this post.
