The funny thing is you get a much greater sense of accomplishment when you put a little more into it. I know because I made my first batch of cornbread this week. It was (almost) great. It would've been helped in a serious way if we had the cast iron skillet that was broken during transit last fall.
Maybe the thing we realize now that we didn't realize before was just how much easier life was in KY. Not easy by any stretch of the imagination but things just go a bit smoother and almost always like you expect. Or at least in a way that seems understandable. Now when we see something that just seems extremely crazy we just look at each other and say, "Well, of course it would be THAT way."
Of course, not everything is harder. A guy delivers bread to the door every morning. Someone else the filtered water. Another guy vegetables, still another fruits. Even strawberry delivery guy just came by ... but they still need to be washed three times and soaked for 10 minutes before you can eat them:-)!

Those berries look yummy! Is it not possible to buy a skillet there? Or perhaps you could make hoecakes? Betty Sue made us some in her electric skillet yesterday, they were great! Do you have one of those? Sounds like you all are really getting resourceful! Way to go, Davises!
I guess that's just part of "dying to yourself". By the way, I feel your pain on using your hands to wash dishes!
I didn't know that cast iron could break. That's a new one. It's great that you all are making it work for you. Getting back to basics. It would be nice to have food delivered right to your door. What's on the strawberries that takes so much washing?? Love you all !!
Yum strawberries! My favorite!
I signed on the appropriate lines
the contract is in the works.
