Well, OK, you and ol @
spike021 have it your way - and that's OK.
All I can remember about doing DIY food was:
- getting stung collecting the honey
- getting skeeter bit picking the tomatoes, green beans, corn and so on, out of a hot garden then snapping, pealing, cutting that stuff to prepare for eating or canning while shooing the biting horse flys away.
- milking the cows, and churning the butter
- gathering the eggs and getting pecked by the hens that didn't want to give them up
- feeding the cows and pigs and cleaning out their stalls and pig pens of sloppy shit
- catching and butchering chickens every Sunday morning
- picking blackberries in the heat and humidity for the making and canning of jam, while watching out for bumble bees and snakes.
Oh, yes, the food was "DIY", back on the farm.
However, I left the farm and now I will settle for the store bought stuff -
