Homemade or Store Bought
Several years ago, the wife and I was invited over to a Kurdish family for dinner. I almost felt bad for him. He had four children. His wife did not work. He had a job that did not bring in a whole lot of money. Because they were refugee from northern Iraq there were getting some small government assistance.
When we set down to dinner, I was amazed at the out amount of food on the table. It was all healthy native Kurdish dishes. Homemade soup that was more like a stew than a soup. The bread was still warm.
My mother grew up in the Depression Era of Arkansas. She was one of 10 children. They made all their meals from basic ingredients. Clothes were had sown.
Trick or Treat?
Yesterday, I was walking out of the local grocery store, the headline of the local newspaper jumped out at me. It read, “The Great Recession Is Over.” My first thought was that it was a cruel trick.
Then I started asking myself, “Is The Great Recession really over?” Jobs are still tight. Milk and other staples have gone up in the past month. Big box store are worried that this Christmas’ sale will be at record lows.
Friday the stock market dropped almost 250 in both the New York and Dow Jones stock exchanges. This is in spite of good financial news for the week.
