I'll be honest, I thought it was boring,
The only thing that made me watch the show were the episodes about Laura finally meeting and marrying her husband. That turned out to be standard and boring too, but her husband's sister's love story was actually heartbreaking and sad to me.
I didn't watch the rest of the show, but I heard his sister did end up happily with some one? If someone knows, let me know.

Yes Mary did, met a blind man as well. I’m not sure how it could be seen as boring. I mean the show was riddled with different stories and view point. It was probably one of the most none repetitive shows ever made. Every season truly was different from one another. Lots more than just love stories in it that’s for sure.
oh really
So Christ didn't have to give up his own life to save the church right?
Jesus is...baloney?
and you want to bet? ok whatever. Also, why would I say what you said when I didn't even say it. Weird.
If you'd seen Little House on the Prairie, or read the real life account AND the books, you'd understand how Ma REALLY felt, when Pa just did his own thing and expected the girls to go along with him and didn't care for their education or settling down, in a town with amenities. They were always on the run...from debt! It's very different from what was presented in the books through Laura's eyes of a child.
Plus there is actually a reason why Laura Ingalls Wilder did not vow to obey her husband.
The books were better.
Some of the tv show was boring and the later versions had Laura with blue eyes and her sister with brown when it was the other way around.
I'm like did they even read the books??
Laura's husband was working since the age of 9...Amanzo (sp?) the Farmer's boy. He did rescue the family from starvation though through a long boring winter by delivering wheat I think it was.
Oh but their house burned down, and their married life didn't go so well. Of course they had a honeymoon period, but it didn't last. Life was hard back then, especially pioneer life. Laura then got her own job, and she was happy!
Still married but by then Amanzo was incapacitated, from work injuries I think.
With her daughter Rose, she then penned the famous book series, and became famous. It wasn't originally meant to be for children, but I'm glad it was because it kind of shielded readers from the harsh reality of life on the prairie living in a sod house with practically nothing to your name.
And your babies dying, and no medical care.
Rose bought her mother a house with the proceeds from the book sales. They settled in another town, not the prairie. Laura helped finance farm loans or something that was her job, she also wrote for the paper and that was what got her into writing her memories.
Laura knew the burden of keeping her home together would be on her when her husband could no longer work. Before she married, she had a job as a teacher which she hated. But that's what women were expected to do in those days if they didn't marry, so straight after she graduated what would have been junior high school, she was teaching.
I'm not sure what other job she could have done as farmhand was exclusively for men, and owning a shop or business was exciting, but in the books, it was presented as a ball and chain as opposed the freedom and independence of homesteading. They didn't mention the back-breaking labour lol.

What I do remember I liked in the books was, the Christmas where the church gave them all extravagant presents, because the previous christmas all Laura got was a candy cane, but it was a precious candy cane!
Pa playing his fiddle/violin
Ma's dresden shepherdess doll on the mantelpiece - she kept this everywhere she moved.
I don't remember Nellie Olsen the only bit I recall she was so snarky to Laura and Laura pushed her in the mud!
The bullies at school, actually bullying the teacher!
Laura being jealous/envious of her sister, cos she had blue eyes but Laura's were brown.
Apples n' onions.
The cobbler.
Ok that's enough. Oh btw little fact...the illustrator of the praririe books is the same one who illustrated Charlotte's Web.

I wasn't into the show but I bought the cookbook:
I'm glad that Melissa Gilbert was treated well and had good memories working and growing up on the show. She had a great time!

Does it have Apples n' Onions?I wasn't into the show but I bought the cookbook:

Also the prideful flapjacks or puffballs or whatever it was that Ma made.
Does it have how to churn butter and how to milk a cow? I am curious now.
But just in the show, in real life she never married.
The books never went into Mary's love life, but a blind woman would not have married in those days, the burden of care would have been too great.
Of course the tv show would have tried to give her a happy ending.
Wasn't Shannen Doherty of 90210 fame in the show? Who did she play?
I think I saw her there once. She was like 10 years old or something.
The cookbook is mostly about Melissa Gilbert and growing up on the set. There are a couple of cookbooks for Little House on the Prairie.

They look interesting but they don't come in any ebook format, so I haven't gotten them. Maybe they will have those recipes you want to read about though.>=-
I'll go over Melissa Gilbert's cookbook again to see if she might have the recipes you're looking for.

I can check Libby to see if they have any e-books on Little House.
I think there are a tonne out there, it's an important part of history the pioneering life.
What got me was the landgrabs, like people would literally stake their claim on a piece of land by running with a flag and sticking it in the ground, and where they put it, they could assume it was theirs?! It was called the Homestead Act or something.
Nevermind the land might have some importance to the people ALREADY living there like IDK the natives.
It breaks my heart how some of the natives were treated by people who they thought they could trust to look after or share the land. And I'm not even a woke person...it's just part of the planet's shameful history of mankind.

I found the cookbook on Libby. I got other books to read first though...I had a quick look at the contents..not the meals I remember from the books.
I don't mind but I think Little House is a fun tv to watch and be part of like for me Anne Of Green Gables was like the Canadian equivalent, set in the same era.
For Anne of Green Gables, the famous recipe would have been Rachel Lynde's raspberry cordial.
