The book is dedicated to her grandaughters and the young homemakers. I have another blog to write on the dedication later.

"Women that can cook from scratch will well survive: "depression, recession, inflation" by Pam Perea Casias.

Wow, mom! Well, I tried the first from scratch recipe today. I made Teenage Crazy Cake. The first recipe in the book. But, I followed the philosophy of the poem on page 11, "She didn't have potatoes...." I made a few substitutions. I couldn't find the Cocoa, so I used hot chocolate. I only had imitation vanilla. But, it still came out very moist and tasty. Cora did the stirring and helped with the icing.

At first, Cora said, "It looks like a caveman cake."

As we were eating, I got the kudos from the hubby and Lilly spread icing all over her face. I told the girls that this was the first recipe in Grandma Gertie's book and it tasted like something she would have made. Cora said, "It taste like something all Grandma Gerties would make."

Still, no home made tortillas.
