When the money runs out ~ The POOR man's meal 

Awesome!

I also have small garden potatoes, garden beans, and ham in the freezer! Great idea!

Love this!

reminds me of something The Barefoot Contessa said years ago during one of her shows - she’d rather have a freezer full of homemade broth / chicken carcasses than all the pearls or diamonds that Geoffrey (her wonderful husband) might give her 🤣😂 she was right 25 yrs ago and she’s more right now - thnx for sharing this information with folks - it’s not new for a farmers granddaughter but it might be new to many urban folks 😃🤗

Great idea!

I grew up coloring with my (depression era) grandma. Now my son colors with her. It's a great activity!

What was in your bowl of drippings?

@@Marygalvin49 Dad used to drain the fat from the beef we had at lunch time ( in those days beef was much cheaper than chicken. So chicken had to wait until Christmas) including the sediment from the pan and put it straight in the larder on the stone shelf where by teatime it was ready to use, so dad sat with his toasting fork making toast for us all, mum always tipped it upside down to retrieve the sediment and the jelly.

Every time!

Yes I already have it on my list of things to do I will be sharing a video here soon

It may be around, but many cannot afford it.

@@Myfavorites877 I have to say, reading all these comments that ppl are finding ways to conserve but they are still eating well. I'm a senior, on SS, and I've learned that there are few things that require refrigeration, so I use my fridge for keeping a few things and a sealed plastic box for keeping other things. I buy a few cold or frozen things that will keep fine for a day or two (more in winter) and eat those up first, then eat the things that can't spoil. I've never been a meat eater wh is lucky bc that's not doable in my budget, but i always buy a pint of my favorite ice cream (until its too cold to eat it while I sit outside the store to wait for my transit) or yreat myself to some tortilla chips to feel "normal." When I shop, i have to use senior trans (no buses here, the state prides itself on providing free city bus passes to seniors😂😂) and it costs me $5 to get across the highway. I have walked in an emergency, it's relatively safe until I get across the highway (crosswalk) then there is no shoulder or sidewalk, just driveways directly off the highway. Face it. Ppl in cars aren't expecting an old lady on a walker to be walking there as they fly off the highway. The point is, I'm in a town w/o services (trapped by the pandemic) and I'm not starving (freezing but not starving). So don't panic. It's much easier moving downward a step at a time than finding your previously well-healed self suddenly facing an empty cupboard. We've had lots of time to prepare and though we may not have ppl to help, or lots of room to store food, most of us can sure afford to skinny up. We're ok so far and way better off than we will be if our govts enemies start dropping nuclear bombs on our heads. So cheer up. And if you are able, share some depression era food w those who have nothing and we'll all get through this rough time.❤☮🙋

Joe, I will keep you and your dad in prayer.

Thank you so much!

Wow that is unbelievable it's just ridiculous my goodness for a plastic knife what did they think this child would do yes it's getting very bad yes Tessie said it all here the voice of reason :-)

@@owen4248 So true!

I add pasta as well as pearled barley.

I just would have made it without any meat

Paula I never stopped doing videos I do one every single day I've done it now for six years I also have a second channel too where I do a video every day you must have missed a lot of videos for some reason

Thank you!

Great idea!

Now that is amazing

@@HomesteadTessie I think those steaks were still good because they were vacuumed sealed. That’s the only explanation … by the way, I just LOVE ❤️ your channel.
