Dinner? Cabbage rolls, a.k.a. golubki

"a.k.a. a depression era or wartime tactic. Trouble is, some never re-adjusted after the depression or war was over and meat was once again available and/or affordable!"

A couple of things might help explain this:
1. One may get used to doing things a certain way, and only change if/when some very compelling reason comes along. Saving resources at a time when resources are limited can be a very compelling reason to change. Then, years later, one is just used to doing things a certain way, and doesn't even think of changing back.
2. Some may have decided to stick with the new method because they had been through bad times. Bad times have a way of being remembered deep down, and influencing resource use decisions.

Grocery delivery is apparently available from Safeway in my area. I haven't used it--but then I don't shop Safeway very often. (Too expensive!) Plus it's not a huge problem going grocery shopping. But I can imagine that for some busy people, this service might be worth it.

We also have at least one company, Smith Brothers Farms, doing home milk delivery. I know a person who used them years back. They had a modern distribution approach--insulated boxes that sit on the porch to hold the dairy products, and the milk is packaged in regular cartons, not bottles. He also only got delivery once a week--but that was all he needed. I got the impression they don't do daily delivery, but like so many of my impressions, it may be wrong.

This link is for Smith Brothers Farms. It is 99.9999999999% irrelevant for most people here, but some out of the area might be interested in seeing something on a dairy that delivers:
