“The social disease of WiFi has been spread as a so-called "convenience" among the masses to suppliment the "wireless" trend which first started decades ago when the first "cordless" telephones and remote control tv's were available.” And Matt just what do you think this website is!? You seem...

I’ve cooked Pork Chops in Campbell’s Mushroom soup like in the ad above, only instead of water I use 1/2 can of either Dry Sherry or Dry Vermouth, the alcohol cooks away and the wine leaves a nice flavor, I’ll also add a 1/2 to 1 tsp of either rosemary or thyme and some black pepper to taste...

OK, I wasn’t sure. Eddie

Well Matt, I cook dinner for the two of us 360 days a year from scratch, I’m anything but lazy, old yes, and experienced. Plus I bake all of our bread, rolls and other baked goods from scratch too. I doubt that there are very many folks out there that do this. And I wash ALL the dishes by...

The first Amazon listing is the same as ours . We bought ours at Best Buy. The second Amazon listing is an Electro Turbo model, not a suction driven Turbo Nozzle. This would eventually have the same weakness in the hose as the Kenmore Power Nozzle vacs. Eddie

Hi Chet, Here’s the link to the Miele Compact C1 Turbo. We especially like the suction control and the maneuverability of this vacuum. We have a 2 story 1250 sq ft townhouse with off white WW carpeting and the Miele really has kept our carpet clean and not matted down for the almost 7 years...

I believe that Panasonic used to make the Kenmore Canister Vacuums and some of their Uprights too. We’ve had 3 Kenmore Uprights with corded Power nozzles over the years. On every one of them the connection in the hose to the power nozzle handle eventually wore out making the power nozzle...

Re:#24 I don’t have any problem keeping lettuce fresh in my top freezer fridge. But I still only buy the amount of lettuce that we will use in 1 to 2 weeks. I prefer to buy prepackaged lettuce over loose heads of Romaine. The loose heads are often water logged and frequently dirty too. The...

Matt, I’m really happy that your 4 cup Farberware Superfast Percolator works well for you. You were lucky to get one of the new ones that didn’t have thermostat problems. I had an older 4 cup Superfast made in Yonkers, NY that I bought for $4.00 at a thrift store many years ago that I used at...

Tim I hear you! We also eat a lot of salads, in fact five nights a week I make individual side salads for each of us. For the past several months I’ve been purchasing Romaine Lettuce Leaves that are all washed and packaged in a clear plastic box with a reattach-able lid (Fresh Farms Single Cut...

I collected electric percolators for many years. Over the years from 1983 thru 2025 I owned at least 20 or more Farberware Superfast Perc’s. The older Farberware Electric Perc’s that were still made in New York were very good, but their weak point was always the thermostats which tended to...

My Mom also had a Universal Coffeematic that I can recall as far back as 1954. In 1972 I bought a Universal Coffeematic at the Salvation Army Thrift Store for $2.00 and used it for many years. I gave it to my sister in 1978 and she gave it to her former MIL in about 1982 and she was still...

Always on my iPad. Our Macbook died about 8 mo ago after over 10 years of use and we don't plan on getting another laptop or desktop. Anything I need to do I can do on the iPad. With a Zagg Keyboard cover the iPad is just as convenient as the Macbook and a whole lot less expensive. Eddie

Bob, We paid $995.00 + tax in Oct. ‘87 for a new ‘87 White-Westinghouse FL and the stacking gas dryer. So since FL’s usually cost more than the matching dryer I’d guess that separately the washer was probably maybe $550 and the gas dryer was $445? Anyway, they worth every penny, best W/D set...

That’s a lot of Black Walnuts John, good for you harvesting them and cleaning them! I’ve never personally gotten walnuts with the shin still on, but I bet they are really good. I believe that freshly harvested nuts in the shell should remain fresh for maybe 6 mo or longer if kept in a cool...
