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.In keeping with my eclectic taste (no pun intended): The other dark meat

(we never got to that, neither to the oven nor to the washing machines).they say third time's a charm...
If you haven't guessed by the title's name, I tried making my 'disaster' again yesterday and once again, it didn't come out as expected. My hubby was full of suggestions and encouragement when the first disaster came out of the oven, so armed with those, I tried this once again.
