Good morning Terri , Baxter, Sammie,Lou ans Kallie!! I like doing sheet pans over roasted veggies in the oven . It's easy way to do a bunch at a time. I use veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, Cabbage cut into steaks, asparagus, brussle sprouts. I just drizzle a spoonful of bacon grease or olive oil over whatever veggies and toss it around so it coats the veggies just a little then roast them. You add your seasonings at the end. I also like veggies like eggplant and zucchini grilled in the airfryer then sprinkled with parmesan. Stir fried cabbage and veggies is great too. Thanks for the sing along:)

Doing dishes in a bowl and with boiling water on the stove is quite easy. Another bowl to rinse is good. It just takes a bit more organisation and planning. What really helps is some kind of sink or pipe going out so you don’t have to carry dirty water outside. Some old houses have like an enlarged funnel leading out to a hole in the ground beside the house.

I love split pea soup. My little brother does as well. When he was in middle school he had to have surgery to fix an severe underbite, and his jaws were wired together for several weeks. He could only eat what would go through a straw. To support him, I ate the same thing the whole time. One of our favorite dishes was to put de-boned Chinese-style fried chicken wings in a blender with ⁸a can of Progresso split pea and ham soup. We'd blend it then put it in a pot to heat up. It was amazing and we both occasionally still get together and make this dish.

In Australia there was a primitive refrigerator most people had. It was a metal cage with tiny ventilation holes like fly screen to keep insects out. It was covered in cloth that was kept continuously wet from a water reservoir. It was then hung from the ceiling in a breeze way. As the water evaporated the food inside the cage was kept cool. From memory I think they were called a calgoorie food safe.

What kind of mushrooms did you use? I've been thinking about trying to do some with pink and golden oyster mushrooms next time I grow some.

I do lots of physical labor so I try to eat the way my great grandparents did. I think all the vegetable oil/ seed oil is destroying our health in the West, I only use animal fats.

One way that they used to mitigate the problems of maintaining a consistent temperature was to use an intermediate 'surface' between the fire and the pot or pan being used. This could be a slab of heavy stone, or (if they were affluent enough) a sheet of fairly thick iron. Once heated, both enabled a much more reliable and steady temperature.

Back in rhe 60s, when I was about 7 years old, my neighbor belonged to a hunting and fishing club called Penn's Manor, which was William Penn's home. It was a lake formed by rhe Delaware river in southeastern Bucks County, PA. Since it was open to the sea, it would have a population of eels. We used to catch them like crazy, but I was the only one to keep them as my mom was Italian and loved them. My neighbor and his son would cut their lines when they hooked an eel until I convinced them I would unhook them and would take them. It would be a place for Mr. Townsend to explore. It was just below Washington Crossing. Skin the eel, cur in bite sized chunks, and deep fry them...the bones disappear. Never heard of that kind of PA Swankey beer. "Energy in the morning!"😀 I know Jon can't say it...but those medicinal herb uses are safer than any Big Pharma drugs.

2:45:05 Greetings from Germany - Franconia to be exact! - I'd identify this "turnip" as "Steckrübe". For some reason it has the reputation of being used in years with bad harvests or long cold winters... kind of a last resort when nothing else would be available. Personally I can't remember eating it, but looking at my local greengrocer's there's a fresh basket with these turnips every week, so SOMEbody seems to buy and eat it quite regularily. I'd definitely add some curmin to it if I cooked it though. Seems to be a logical choice of spice (according to my taste).
