Homesteading In Dead Of Winter 🔥…Let’s Get Honest
Could you survive your first winter on this remote Montana homestead? A family once did. I have done the same. But the unexpected surprises of running out of food can hit hard!
Today we cook an honest, verrrrry humble meal. A meal that many a homesteader in history had to eat when winter trapped them, far from any market or groceries. 1893 saw the invention of Cream of Wheat porridge & 1885 brought canned milk to the prairie. Those 2 ingredients plus some brown sugar & a pot of Scottish black tea—made from melted snow—ahh, heaven. Grateful for the food, when all other food is gone.
Snowshoe in with me--let’s cook, and talk history.
