I'm hoping things are beginning to change, with more people eating locally, and with the slow food movement. I juderstand that Australia is far ahead of us here in the US with regard to healthy living and eating. My very best wishes for you, your family, and your future family. And "amen" to living in harmony with nature. Ellen Thanks, Ross, that’s beautiful and so true.

Your personal reminiscences help me understand the time in our history where we had it right. When food was grown nauturally and eaten naturally. The way people used to cook food, it was simple yet satisfying. That was it. But it was an art, you couldn't learn it in a book, it was brought forward from generation to generation with interation from family members and friends and took years to master. I belive that quality takes time, and greed takes that away. Greed is what changed our foods to what it is today, we mass produce all our food for what, greed and money. Everytime we change our food to be able to make it faster and to make quantities to triple to what we need, is when we start to lose our quality and lose our satisfaction. Which brings me to my next point that we should eat only what we need to eat for complete satisfaction. Understanding that is a beautiful thing. It would be great if we could all realise this so that we can return our earth to its natural state rather than mother nature having to correct our Earth herself. Our Summer mornings are beautiful and I hope that my boys and future grandchildren will have the chance to experience these simple yet beautiful things life has to offer. Ross. Ellen,

Sounds as if our grandmothers were sisters of the hearth. I can't help but think that a big portion of that heavenly taste must have been the lard, the rich-with-cream milk, and the wood stove. And the love, of course.

I always tried to get her to quantify the recipe for me but she had made biscuits for so long by touch that she would never even think of measuring anything. Unfortunately, I never mastered the nack of her biscuits and have been searching ever since for a recipe that approximated hers that had milk straight from the cow, lard, Martha White flour, leavening, & salt to the best of my recollection. She would stir them up, pat them out and then cut them out with a Bama jelly jar. They baked up perfectly in the old woodstove that she had before she got her gas stove. They were perfect every time. What I wouldn't give for one of them today! Your description of learning to cook from your grandmother brought to mind watching my grandmother make biscuits from scratch.
