In these difficult days of higher prices, supply shortages, and people going back to their Parents and Grandparents ways of surviving and living through tough times; I am going to be posting recipes from the early 1900’s that may give you some knowledge of how to go back to the basics.  How To Make those staples we need to survive and feed our family day to day. 

These recipes are from the World War’s Rationing time periods and the great depression of the 1920’s and 30’s.  From people who knew how to stretch a dollar, keep their family together and live through the hard times they faced. All the things we take for granted on a daily basis, and what you need to keep in your pantry to save money.     

How to make bread with a yeast you created from potatoes, or from a starter dough that you feed to keep it alive, and can share with friends.  Herman is a sharing bread starter, where and how it got that name, I do not know; but keeping it alive will provide you with fresh bread, cakes, cookies, pancakes and a whole lot of recipes for everyday food.
