Old-Fashioned
I heard a new one yesterday. Someone said I reminded them of women in olden days who made their own bread, jams, soaps and other products. I know I feel pretty old at times. She meant it as a compliment and I took it that way. :-)
As I looked through some of my photos, I realized that she may be right! I am old-fashioned in the sense that I make just about everything from scratch.
I stood in the store one night and decided I was going to purchase tortillas since I'm not a fan of rolling them out. I stood in front of the display of tortillas for about 10 minutes and ended up walking out without them. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for cardboard tasting circles!
What started out as a way to save some money and deal with my daughter's food allergies has turned into a lifestyle.
Yep, I'm old-fashioned and I like it! :-)
P.S. I know over the past few weeks many of you have asked me various questions about one thing or another. I always try to answer direct questions right under yours in the comment section of the post. So don't forget to go back and check there. Onesme, I answered your question about the balms there. A few of you asked for the recipe for scones and I posted a link to it under your questions on that post.
Old fashion is a good thing. Some of the sweets that can be purchased in the store are not near as good as home made. I think it is great that you know how to do all the things that you do. There may come a time when you will need those skills just to survive. I for one would call you very talented rather than old fashioned.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mom!
DeleteYour baking looks delicious! I mostly cook from scratch too. And when I do try a box mix, they never taste as good as homemade either,
ReplyDeleteWondering what the long blue thing in the last photo is?
A customer asked me to make outdoor cushions for her and that is one of them. Have a great day, Rhonda!
