   What I want to know is what are they talking about “making soup out of kitchen scraps”? At my house the only thing that ends up in the garbage from veggies is inedible peels, mushy brown parts, and carrot tops, and we hardly ever have soup.

   Do a Google search with the words KITCHEN, SCRAPS, and SOUP and you’ll find quite a bit of information.

   We as a culture have quite a habit of throwing away parts of veggies that are “unsightly” but perfectly edible, or sometimes even the healthiest part.

   In the garbage? No, no, no…even the Food Porn channel is now putting their scraps in the COMPOST!

   I agree. I’m a compost believer. And I don’t need no stinkin’ book. I got my grandmother’s Depression Era wisdom. I swear those people really were the greatest generation. They didn’t waste anything.

   It’s funny, but kind of sad…
   Folks in Depression-era and poor folks for years have grown gardens, conserved, and scrimped. Many people with too much disposable income have done it because it was trendy.

   Now the tables have turned, somewhat.

   Trust me, poor folk know the difference between what can go into soup and what goes into the compost heap.

   One of the most important tips, hunt rabbits & other wild game to make meals worth eating! Bambi tastes great with onions, peppers, pan gravy & garlic.
