Persil I was at the local Rite Aid and noticed that they had Persil liquid in 3 flavors on their shelves for, I think, $7.95 a bottle.

Auto dry I have an el cheapo BOL Admiral electric dryer and find that using the low heat timed dry which is about 35 minutes or so dries everything well. Of course, I live in the high desert in CA and humidity is low so that might have something to do with it. The auto dry uses high heat and...

Yummy. Just like candied bacon wrapped around a tot. I wonder what putting chopped, toasted pecans on them would do. Where's Paula Deen when you need her.

Uncle Peter, bring me my smelling salts!!!!!

Schnitzengruben mit sauerkraut Yummy. And the sauerkraut flatus will be "wunderbar".

I have jokingly said for a while that Home Ec cookbooks are now the take-out menus of fast food places.

Burritos and pizza If I remember correctly, Whirlpool used to do something along these lines with a pound of coffee grounds and a pizza in their dishwasher to show how well their filters worked. It must have been in the early to mid 70s or so. I was always impressed with how well their...

Upper/Lower Heat Elements I have a GE Aldora (?) that has 2 ovens. It seems when I bake, that the indicator lights for either oven show all the bottom elements on and also the top middle one. I guess that might help with browning. I have learned to be careful when baking breads, popovers...

I think it looks rather like a front loading Staber H-axis washing machine.

Didn't Whirlpool used to have a TV commercial where they threw a pound can of coffee grounds and a pizza into the dishwasher along with a full load to show how wonderful their filter system was? I know the dishwasher I have from Whirlpool does a great job and it was only $30 at the local St...

My nephew sent me this video of a cat riding a Roomba around the kitchen in a shark's costume. It makes be believe he has too much time on his hands. I wish my cat would sit still for something like this. http://...

I can remember using the Stenorette when I was transcribing for court reporters in Los Angeles and Ventura counties here in California. This was before the use of computers. I also scoped for a reporting firm in Ventura when CAT (computer-aided transcription) came in.

When I worked for GTE and then Verizon, I had a little post-it note on my terminal. It read "T S T L" and "B O D" meaning Too Stupid to Live and Better Off Dead. It amazes me how people today refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. I bought one of the first Maytag Neptune and now...
