I DECIDED it was time I tried my hand at a skill dating
back to pioneer days: Baking homemade bread.
The first batch was a flop. My mother informed me that I
had “killed my yeast”. How horrible.
So determined was I to do it right, I tried again. The
second batch came out beautifully. We had hot homemade
rolls dripping in cheap margarine. I was feeling pioneerish
and proud until I read a little paragraph under the recipe.
“That good, old time, all American yeast bread-picture
pretty baked in muffin cups.
But aren’t you glad you don’t have to grow your own
yeast, as the frontier women did!”

Good morning, Bicentennial Women of America:
I wonder what the 1776 American woman would think of
us if she could see us today. “Yes,” she’d probably say,
“You’ve come a long way.”
She most likely would be impressed as she watched me
plug in my “slow cooker” so I could cook red beans or beef
stew all day without having to look at it. But then she might
compare it to the back of her hearth, or iron stove which had
the same effect we are trying to achieve today with the
slow-cooking method.
The pioneer woman would be impressed, too, with our
pressure cookers which prepare food in a matter of minutes.
See how far we’ve come ladies? We have an electrical slow
cooker which cooks all day or a handy dandy fast cooker. We
can choose our own pace.
Just think of the modern wonders in the kitchen, the
micro-wave oven, the garbage disposal.
“But wait," our pioneer woman might say, “We had
garbage disposals, too. The animals on the farm ate all the
scraps and nothing was wasted. Everything was used.”
I think of the gadgets American women use everyday and
I’m a bit ashamed because we live in such luxury. Yet, I don’t
want to trade places with any of the pioneer women. I enjoy
my electric dishwasher too much.
I also enjoy my washer and dryer. I couldn’t live without
my blow dryer to dry my hair. Or the curling iron to curl my
hair. Just think, hot water without having to boil it and bath
oil to soften my dry skin. I could go on and on.
Still, during this Bi-Centennial year I have mixed
emotions. I can’t help but feel a little twinge of guilt for the
luxury we have, but at the same time I’m so grateful for it. I
