#14  What #19 TW said...
I bought an electronic rice cooker and bought bulk beans and dried rice. Cutting way back of fast food and frozen TV dinners as well. The food part of my budget imploded.

#11  she must have read as a child.

TW, I think there maybe are a few false assumptions in that statement of yours.

#10  Back in 1930 regular folk didn’t expect walk-in closets stuffed full of clothes, a separate family room for the big screen tv and a computer for gaming, smart phones for everyone in the family, cars for all the adults, and granite countertops, an island, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen of their 2,000 square foot house in the suburbs. Most nowadays could pay for the 1930 lifestyle working 15 hours/week — the remaining 25 hours/week is needed to live as we do now.

I realize it is hard for her to imagine anything different than modernity, immured as she has been until recently in hipster Brooklyn, but there are plenty of children’s storybooks set in the period that she must have read as a child.
