Phrase from scratch
Text The phrase "from scratch," in this podcast, means starting with basic ingredients, not using any prepackaged or pre-prepared foods: "Sheila made the pie filling from scratch, but she bought the crust at the store." The phrase "from scratch" can also mean doing something from the beginning: "Yuko's grandfather started this company from scratch." The phrase "scratch paper" refers to a small piece of inexpensive paper, possibly with other writing on one side, used to write down notes: "Do you have a piece of scratch paper so I can write down your phone number?" Finally, a "scratch" can be a small cut on the skin: "His legs were covered in scratches from the blackberry bushes he walked through on his hike."
