Funny to think that for our grandparents, that was just a typical Tuesday.
They did pickling, canning, preserves, all that stuff. Some might've done smoking and curing. Kept a spare freezer stocked. After the Great Depression, they weren't going to be caught empty-handed again.
Two generations later, we learned nothing from them and look at that as comparable to going to the moon. Wow.
But yeah, I don't know how to do any of that either. To learn, talk to some older people, I guess?
