    Obligatory summer post on hot dogs and condiments

    For me, it's Nathan's or Boar's Head when it comes to Frankfurts (but I won't turn my face away from Hebrew National either). Not sure if Boars Head is a national brand but it is a big player here in the NY and Connecticut areas. I prefer those with natural casings grilled or broiled but...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    Re: Reply #24: Greg - I was at my local Costco this week and they still have Kirkland powder, in addition to Tide and Gain powders. So maybe the Costco stores in your area are selling the Kirkland branded powder more quickly? Checked Big Lots and Ocean State Job Lot for any Tide F&G powder but...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    Tom, I am guessing that someone living with cats and dogs becomes desensitized to certain odors. But I don't own or live with pets so can't speak definitively to the issue. Also, she is smart enough to keep her clean clothes secure in drawers or in the closet where cats won't lay on them -...

    ORANGE CAKE RECIPE

    Thanks for the info on cube vs stick. I never knew there was so much out there on that topic and having always lived in the east, always used the term "stick". Interesting point on the "reverse creaming" method for cake baking. I have used that method since the 1980's and I first saw it in...

    ORANGE CAKE RECIPE

    Looks like an interesting recipe and will need to try it since orange is one of my favorite flavors. I do have a question on the frosting recipe. What measure is "one cube of butter" or "one and one half cubes butter"? I assume a "cube" of butter is one tablespoon - but that doesn't doesn't...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    I don't find Tide with Bleach (at least in this latest formulation) to leave a noticeably heavy scent behind, but my need for some "scent free" products is based on doing laundry for someone who claims to be extremely sensitive to any scent - so even my cologne is a problem when I am in their...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    Sorry forgot to add that the website also includes Tide with Downy. Haven't seen that one anywhere either...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    Well, according to the Tide website, the powder offerings are: - Original Tide - Tide Clean Breeze - Tide Ultra Oxi - Tide with Bleach - Tide Free and Gentle That said, not sure that the website info is accurate and current since I already confirmed by calling that F&G powder no longer exists...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    I don't remember Wisk in a pump bottle but that could be a regional thing. I do recall that when P&G introduced Era liquid, that came with a pump bottle and was advertised so that you could pump directly into the washer. And yes, Wisk was what my mother kept on the shelf next to the Cheer or...

    It's Official - Tide Free & Gentle Powder is Gone for Good

    Have been trying to replenish my supply of Tide Free and Gentle Powder for a few weeks but wasn't able to find it at any WalMart or Target, and even on line. So I called our dear friends at P&G and they confirmed that the powder has been discontinued - but of course still available in liquid...

    Solid Tub Washers

    Well, regarding dear old Betty and the Westinghouse test - would the fact that the top loaders used had timed fill and possibly a single water supply for the three other machines filling at the same time have made an impact on the results? If true, that may not have had much, if any effect at...

    Solid Tub Washers

    Interesting observation. When we were growing up in Brooklyn, we went to the beach every Tuesday - Thursday during the summer- a two hour bus trip but that's another story for another day. That meant beach towels and bathing suits were washed every day after returning home. We had a 1958 Lady...

    Looking to Love Liver, but how?

    Liver is polarizing - no way around that. I can't think of any other preparations for beef or calves liver than frying it with bacon and onions and quite frankly, I won't eat it period. Yet I have friends who won't touch eggplant, broccoli rabe or any beans that eat calves liver gladly. I...

    Trying to lift stain from vintage silk scarf

    If you still aren't able to remove the stains -you may want to consider contacting a company that restores vintage and/or designer fabrics. There is a place in New York called Madame Paulette that seems to be quite well known and does work for museums and designers. Not sure how well they do...

    "Improved" Tide with Bleach alternative powder

    If you mean the new Tide with Bleach powder (TWB) shown in the first posting here, yes, I have started using it for most of my laundry. I think this fragrance is the third iteration of scents with TWB. The first and original was around from its inception in the late 80's up to around 5 years...

    "Improved" Tide with Bleach alternative powder

    I use both the powder F&G and liquid Ultra Stain release versions for my sister's laundry as she is way too sensitive to scents, etc... Also, I use the liquid Ultra Stain release for spot treating since I use a few different products for my own general laundry and don't want to have to have...

    1968 Programmed 4 Speed GE Filter Flo And Versatronic Dryer

    That is a beautiful set and in incredible condition. Can you give us a history of where they came from, etc...? Always interesting to know the details behind the find, especially when you see units that are in such great shape. Anyway, I am a sucker for a lighted control panel... Personally...

    Can anyone identify this?

    My bad - - I commented on the washer not the dryer so I didn't answer the question that was asked. Dryer is definitely a Whirlpool as others have already noted. Not sure of the year though...

    Can anyone identify this?

    Looks like a Maytag Performa - kind of resembles a Magic Chef - which I guess it is and is based on the later Norge design...
