'The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers' by Caleb Warnock

from The Cricket and Seagull Fireside Chat · host Steven Kapp Perry

In his new book, author and journalist Caleb Warnock is likely to surprise you with the obvious — I mean, the pioneers did eat all winter, right? So what did they do differently than we do with our brief three-month garden season? Could we do it their way today?  And why is cooking with "pioneer yeast" so much healthier and easier on the digestive system than today's quick-rise yeast?In this podcast, you'll get an interesting earful of useful and practical ways of living that were basic life skills until just the last 75 years or so. Did you know carrots weren't even orange until a couple hundred years ago and that they taste best if you leave them in the ground all winter? You do now!That's just the beginning of this week's journey into self-sufficiency.
