I enjoyed this book about folks surviving, hiding, and subsisting in the San Luis valley. Lots of interesting, sometimes tragic, sometimes awful, and sometimes funny stories.

I fell in love with this novel. It was a beautiful story of love, grief, adventure, family and joy. Set in the harsh conditions of Alaska, the descriptions of the seasons the wilds of mountains, rivers, and farming in the early 1920s were remarkably wonderful. The main characters Jack & Mabel, Faina, George, Esther and Garrett are perfect for this tale. The book was hard to put down. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have some catch up to do. I always think of this book when thinking about a #LongTitle

The Feast Nearby: How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering, and eating locally.

A woman in my foodie book club refused to read this one because she found the title “too ridiculously long.” 😂

Cranberry orange soda bread 😋 from the tagged book. Super easy, but don‘t expect it to be dessert sweet. My kids will wonder where the sugar is, same with scones. 🙃

#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !

sarahbarnes I‘ve always been interested too. And agreed. 3mo
Eggs I can totally relate - my parents were born in 1910 and 1913, and were old-school self-sufficient! 3mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs people didn‘t have much of a choice back then , no money to pay for it even if you could find people to do it 3mo

Eggs @Leftcoastzen I used to make soap, candles, bread, yogurt, clothing, slipper socks, scarves, quilts, grow gardens, can/preserve and more. But it‘s really rough on the hands and wrists!!! 3mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs Wow , that‘s amazing ! Also, that‘s why people got worn out at a younger age . There wasn‘t alternatives . I helped my grandmother can , and we made butter together in a large jar size churn . Even she said , bread takes too much time ! I‘ll just buy it at the grocery store. Once it was readily available!😁 (edited) 3mo
Eggs @Leftcoastzen Awesome 👏🏻 3mo
