Times are getting hard to keep survival these days. Some have said we are headed for a depression. The great depression was before my time but I sure heard about it growing up. Most people today were born after the depression and the youngest may not realize what people had to do to survive. The main thing people did was never to waste anything. I was reminded of this yesterday when I had about a cup of cooked rice left from lunch. Since it was cooler and the need of oven use was apparent I took the cup of rice, 1 cup milk, 2 eggs beaten, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and nice helping of cinnamon (I never measure cinnamon because I love the taste of it) and baked this in an oven safe dish until golden brown and enjoyed some rice pudding. The house smelled like cinnamon all afternoon!
The point of this conversation is to get people to understand there may be hard times ahead with all the shortages and price increases. Do not waste anything and you will survive. May not be steak you are eating for now hamburger costs what steak cost a few years ago. Learn to stretch those meals and always eat the left overs within a few days.
Just some food for thought. Any comments? Maybe you have a favorite recipe with some of your left overs??
