Ma had preserving food down to an art but I am still learning.
I have been re-reading my copy of The Little House Cookbook these past two weeks and chapter 4 talks about preserving foods on page 36. The options were: freezing, smoking, salting, and drying. The cookbook only gets into the drying method.
Have you ever longed for a simpler life? Remember the Little House books by Laura Ingalls-Wilder? Those books have always been a favorite and now that I am a busy full time working mom of 3 I find myself thinking of Ma raising her family and how much simpler their lives were. They lived off the land in small houses, focused on family, and saw each day as a blessing. Our lives CAN be simpler and I think looking to the wisdom of "Ma" is part of the answer.
