Making Do With What You Have: Growing up in the 1930's
In this project, Shilah Hackler interviewed her grandmother, Margaret Hackler about her experiences cooking. During the interview it was learned that Ms. Hackler did not necessarily enjoy cooking, but did it because it was necessary. She discussed various ways that cooking and ideas about cooking had changed over the years and how she would grow what she needed to live on because she didn’t often get to go to a store to buy things. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard.
