Per Oscar's Civil War history activity, the children are joyfully gobbling up homemade hardtack for their afternoon snack.
It didn't even cost me any labor, since Oscar made the stuff.
I am pretty sure that a cup and a half of flour, a teaspoon of salt, and a half cup of water costs less than fifteen Oreos. I think it maybe even makes less mess. Even if you consider the tablespoon of molasses I gave each child to dip their hardtack in.
Hmph.
(mix flour, salt, and water in bowl, knead in bowl, roll out to 1/2 inch thickness on ungreased cookie sheet, cut into squares, poke holes with skewer, bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees.)
Okay, they're asking for gummy bears now. Seems a little bit more normal.
