Sooo... A whole bunch of things led one to another here... With Remembrance Day not shortly gone. The kerfuffle over the hockey guy getting fired, dinner at the Royal Canadian Legion, and being a history buff of sorts. I eventually ran across this site. Along with this, I've been watching a series of you tube videos "Rationing in Briton" by In Range TV. Last winter we also watched a couple DVD video series "War Time Kitchen" and "Land Girls" This all kind of ties together, but a little off track at this moment. Anyway, sent this link to Sweetie saying I though this was interesting from a prepper prospective. Sweetie then saying this looks like a "Julia and Julia" type thing for this winter. Sweetie being a bread baker, we have already tried a recipe for the "National Loaf" and found it quite good. Not everyday good from a 21st century outlook, but occasionally good none the less. Of course one of the first recipes we talked about trying is #140 Canadian Bake, well.... just because... eh... If anyone tries any of these, please post the number and results. the1940sexperiment.com/100-wartime-recipes/

I came across a similar recipe yesterday, mashing white beans with potatoes, and baking it to a crispy topping in the oven. I really need to try that. I especially liked that it was served with gravy. Gravy makes everything delicious. Eh!

As Tim mentioned, we are challenging ourselves to make every recipe from the 1940sexperiment.com website (link in his note). Today I made the #1 recipe for bread called "Wartime Loaf". It made 2 loaves and took 30 minutes to bake. I followed the recipe faithfully other than I didn't put water on the top of the loaf or sprinkle on oatmeal. The second recipe we tried was the Cream of Parsnip Soup. Being a fan of parsnips this was right up my alley. We have binder started with lots of dividers - as we try each recipe we are printing it out and making notes of what we thought. Here is a picture of today's bread and soup. Perfect for a windy nasty day: Bread & Soup So the link is working - but still trying to get the picture to embed in the message.

Tried another recipe from the Wartime recipes website - Marmite Mushrooms the1940sexperiment.com/2011/09/03/marmite-mushrooms-a-modern-recipe/www.amazon.ca/photos/share/KI3fi6lGrHRzLTflVoi66f7G2BM8LfgdV3P50R4C1JXFirst I had to FIND the Marmite. Turns out it's in the aisle with the yeast and baking products. It's a thick liquidy sort of product, looks a bit like molasses but not as dark. Tim is very good at slicing, so he did up the mushrooms. I might have put 2 blobs of butter in, instead of 1. And added garlic powder. Didn't have broccoli tonight, so it was just mushrooms. They put out quite a bit of liquid that had to cook down. Didn't quite do the "rounded teaspoon" of Marmite - just in case it was overpowering. A level teaspoon worked out fine. The recipe called for a "punnet" of mushrooms - that being an unfamiliar term I just used a Styrofoam package. It worked well with plain rice, and pork ribs on the side. I didn't bother with cheddar cheese, but would if serving it over toast as the recipe suggests.

I know of no one in Texas who grows haricot (navy) beans in a garden. They seem to be the northern substitute to our black-eyed peas. I don't remember any northern members talking about growing navy beans. Just wondering at what latitudes they are grown?

Re: Wartime loaf instructions:
"Place flour in large bowl Mix in all dry ingredients except the rolled oats Add fat (or drizzle in vegetable oil) Pour in warm water Mix thoroughly When dough comes together knead for 10 minutes until dough is silky"
When does dough come together?
