Leftover Potato PancakesIngredients:
About 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes 1 large egg 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2-3 Tbsps. of bacon grease or other oil Instructions:
Mix the potatoes, egg, and flour in a bowl — it will be much firmer than regular pancakes. Heat your pan with the grease or oil, then begin spooning batter once it’s good and warm. Flip until browned on both sides.

Mock Apple Pie
I've actually had this. My grandmother used to make a lot of different stuff from the depression. She made candy without a thermometer by tossing a few drops of water in as she was stirring to determine what state the process was in. A-freakin-mazing. She made the most awesome pralines. Ingredients FILLING2 cups water 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp. cream of tartar 30 Ritz Crackers 1 ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 425-g pkg.) 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. ground cinnamon TOPPING
25 Ritz Crackers, crushed (about 1 cup) 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/3 cup non-hydrogenated margarine, melted 2 cups Cool Whip Whipped Topping InstructionsHEAT oven to 400ºF. FILLING: Mix water, granulated sugar and cream of tartar in large saucepan. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Add crackers; simmer on medium-low heat 5 min., stirring occasionally. LINE 9-inch pie plate with crust as directed on package; fill with cracker mixture. Sprinkle with lemon juice and cinnamon. TOPPING: Combine all remaining ingredients except Cool Whip; sprinkle over Filling. BAKE 15 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 20 min. or until golden brown. Cool. Serve topped with Cool Whip. This one looks good too. Zucchini Mock Apple Pie

Now this is a funny recipe for making alcohol from toilet paper.
The host doesn't know the origins, but I do. It comes from the way toilet paper was made in the early days OF toilet paper. For a long time it was similar to the Kraft process which is how brown paper bags are made. It uses few chemicals and the paper is not toxic.
But it also had a high carbohydrate content when compared to the bleach white stuff we use today (then there were the decades of colors, enough for an LGBTQEIEIOH bathroom). It was military prisoners who were known for TP hooch. But I read an account of West Point cadets making a large container of it that they suspended from a tree to keep hidden while it fermented. But two events kept it going; Prohibition and The Great Depression.
This is kind of dull and over examined, but eye opening as well.
