Granny's Pantry, Grandpa's Shed and a little Grasshopper Salad

We remember, or hear stories of our grandparents and great grandparents and how they did things without the modern conviences.

Here's a small taste of how one of our members shared how things used to be done:

Then the dirty thirties hit. Depression era set in and the dust bowl days hit at the same time. She would tell stories of how nothing would grow in the gardens but grasshoppers. Which is what they ended up eating a lot of grasshoppers. It wasn't till the end of WWII that life didn't really start getting better for her.

Makes one wonder if there's any truth to the little critters tasting just like peanuts. If you know, or perhaps want to know then why not join us for this and other stories of practical self-reliance over at HomesteadingToday.com.
