Quick threadjack because the Nelly thing just reminded me: On Nancy Grace last night they were doing the story about the 12 year old that was killed by her uncle or stepfather (can't remember). In the background they kept flipping through pictures of the little girl and then all of a sudden they put a black and white picture of Nelly Olsen up and then started flipping through the murdered girl's pics. Hubby and I looked at each other like "Did you just see that? wtf?" Somebody at the Grace show has a sick sense of humor. Apparently, "Nelly" was sexually abused as a child (IRL, of course). She was on Nancy Grace last night, doing commentary.

That's too funny. I felt that exact same way. I think that is the one book out of the series when I was a kid that I re-read just for the food described. Even the potatoes they buried and cooked in the field sounded good.

The butter making, and the apples n onions, and the popcorn and milk. man, they ate GOOOOOD. Poor 'Manzo getting hit in the eye with a flying burning potato.

That book learned me when to flip a pancake. (hint: when the bubbles start popping)

I used to worry about the details involved there, like what would happen if a herd of buffalo (bisonwhatevergetoverit) stampeded over them.

In it's day it was the "little house in the big woods." Today it's just an empty two-room shack next to the highway surrounded by farm fields. Oh my god, how many places call themselves Laura Ingalls houses? Do you think anybody ever looked her straight in the face and said, "You a crazy bitch!"

My favorite parts where when Laura and Nellie first meet, then meet again later in life in another town. There were several parts in the books that I couldn't relate to - especially the part where Pa butchers the pig and then gives Laura and Mary the pig's bladder to blow up and play with like a balloon. As a kid, I just couldn't believe people would actually do something that disgusting.

We ride our bike up to Kansas every now and again, through Independence, KS. There's a sign there for the Little House On The Prairie. We haven't been, but it says that it's THE L.E.W. house from her formative years. If I remember the series correctly, it was Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, and finally Minnesota. Right?

I'm pretty sure the birthplace shack cabin has been moved from it's original location.
