A Year of Modern Rationing: Gearing Up, Giving Away and Doing Research

Gearing Up, Giving Away and Doing Research

I am in the process of gearing up for this Challenge, which is now becoming more of a way of living for the future for me rather than just a month-long Challenge. But I will be doing a month of wartime rationing to kick-start things and sticking quite rigidly to my modern wartime rations and then re-evaluating at the end of the month.

In the meantime, alongside eating my way through modern foods from the store cupboard and donating the modern processed foods that I no longer want to eat via the Olio App I am doing lots of research.

Some might call it reading books and watching Dvd's but I am calling it research. 😁

Of course it is research . . . anyone who might think otherwise is being snarky. I am so looking forward to what you will share on this journey, and what I might learn. 🙂

They are getting harder and harder to find now, I think probably because more and more people are realising that a wartime rationing style of eating and the recipes of that era are fitting in so well with the current economic climate and our need to save both money and fuel. I know a couple of the books that I have are worth quite a bit of money if I were to sell them directly on Ebay or Amazon.

Looking forward to your efforts and still watch 1940s House when I can find it, always something to learn. Best to you.

So looking forward to your latest venture, it is something I have often thought of doing but haven't got the oomph at the moment to do all the research and planning and being vegan I can rely on you to do the work for me and I can pinch your ideas :) . I do need to be low carb at the moment so I might have to jiggle it a bit, nothing wrong with a little jiggle. This way of eating shows us respect for our food which is sadly lacking in our modern way of eating, fortunately my husband is a meat and two veg man and doesn't mind replacing expensive meat for the odd sausage, spam and corned beef so he will be no problem. Thanking you in anticipation, Chrissie x

A Year of Modern Rationing is my new blog.

I'm using it to chart how I feel and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month all through this year ... and who knows perhaps beyond. Simply recipes, food stories, happenings and musings about a year living on my version of modern rations.

In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. I am hoping that this will prove to be a useful reminder for me in the future of the year when I pared food down to the basics and enjoyed doing it.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or make, or talk about doing or making, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.

The pictures on each blog post have been taken by me either recently or over the years that I have blogged in one format or another. On occasion they might have been found on Google Images and when they are I will say so. My photographs should not be borrowed or used elsewhere without my consent. If you ask nicely I usually give it.
