barney's Cheap Eatin' Thread

A lot of stuff in my head from hearing personal stories from 1880's Italy to hard times in 1930's Appalachia and everything else in between until 1984.
If I could write it all down in novel form, it would be way more epic than anything Anne Frank ever experienced.

From helping cut stones from the Vesuvius lava flow to replace cobblestones on the streets of Pompeii, and seeing neighbors with rabies locked in cages clawing and begging with bloody fingers and hands while foaming at the mouth and screaming obscenities at passersby until their death, to taking cover in Beartown, WV when first plane circled the ridge.

Kids just don't hear those kinds of stories now, and I'm still quite puzzled to this day why grandma told the Jenny Wiley story repeatedly along with everything else.

My best memories,has always been ,old people’s true life stories.

You should write'em down, that stuff would be gold for your family some day.......imo.

I watch a lot of Appalachian/Ky and other local states depression documentaries as we've all discussed. I didn't grow up that way and my kid certainly isn't, however, I make a point to talk to her about it on the regular. Hopefully 10% of it sticks. I usually use those examples because it really hasn't been that long ago and it's close to home.

I'll look up Jenny Wiley. Pompeii is nothing less than fascinating.

There’s a lot of good stories to be found out there

Kids wanted homemade bread so I’ve got a polish going for tomorrow but I slapped together a quick tangzhong loaf so they could have some before bed. Just waiting on this to rise.View attachment 131

Homemade bread is the best. You cookin in the oven? I been baking ours over the fire in a Dutch oven. Burned a couple loaves before I got it down but they come out good now.
