I disagree partially with DKMontoya4670. I’m a mom of a 21 yr old and I stayed home with my son only a few years but enjoyed it all – cooking all our meals, using cloth diapers because they were less expensive and we had our own washer. I would have loved to stay home for many more years but went back to work. I agree – this recession can help us all focus on what’s really important and learning patience again in making a home cooked meal.

During the depression we had mothers who were home with their children; mothers who cooked, cleaned, and were meticulous managers of the home. Today mothers would rather have others raise their children and fastfood and no one manages the home. In a way, this recession may be a godsend to teach parents how to be parents, how to be frugile, and how to make home the most important consideration.

From one old woman in Colorado.

“No, I don’t want any” and that’s why she’s 94. She knows when to refuse food that’s not needed unlike those that are over-weight. Caloric restriction is the only proven way to extend life!

This past 4 days I’ve made 4 of your meals from the depression. You are so very wise, and our whole country could learn from your experiences. My husband and sons love the meals! Thanks so much!
