Making Ends Meet in the Great Depression
By JOYCE WADLER (New York Times)
Published: April 1, 2009
AT a time when life in America is beginning to resemble a roller-coaster ride on the way down and everyone is trying to find ways to save money, it may be instructive — both in terms of offering helpful hints and putting things in perspective — to look at how people ran their households during the Great Depression.
Memories from the Great Depression seem more relevant today than ever. The New York Times is starting a series of video conversations about that painful past and the uncertain future.

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment, was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.
He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
'There's a car being towed from the parking lot,' he shouted.
'An ambulance just drove by!'

I was thinking about what to post today as we wait for the puck to drop at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia tonight. The Flyers return home trailing in this series to the young, effervescent, playmaking Pittsburgh Penguins and need to find inspiration in some of their unforgettable playoff performances!
I love watching the young talent in Pittsburgh, but more than anything, I want to see a hard-fought, long series.

I wanted to contribute to the group, so I figured I would submit my latest cake that I made. This was for my son's birthday. I used two white cake mixes, and made each one separately.
