Okay I oven roasted these ones, and, yes, easier to make than I thought and put on a little lemon pepper seasoning! — Dave

Well I didn’t make all of them, I just thought I needed a small accompaniment… Guess I wanted it simple and in a hurry, so I’ll make the rest of them or the other kinds in the oven with the olive oil… Hope I’ll get them to turn out right that way… — Dave

Decided to make this one… — Dave

Which should I make? — Dave

Yes I quit shopping at Undies, I mean Aldis/Aldi's, I me Well I didn't have a quarter one time when I was lugging my combination automotive infant seat and seat to safely carry my newborn in, and the seat was clearly designed to just stay in my car given the weight of it empty, and if Laura had...

Today's POD (12/23/2024) is a Philco Combo in 1959 advertised at $369.95 ($3926.67 in today's dollars)... I suppose it's similar to the one in the demonstration though no comparison to the other combos built by the competitors, only at least the similar features unto itself... -- Dave

Prestige must be used along with a seemingly high-end mark like Imperial, Super, Deluxe, Custom, and Supreme...   Why are there hand-written labels over those knobs? And shouldn't one temperature that's a redundant Warm/Cold be a Hot/Warm or Warm/Warm?   The rest of the temperature...

Yes I frequently saw that sponsor too---at least in a lot of the early black and white episodes that showed the kitchen... So no doubt the dishwasher would have been a Pre-Way gas, which I'd like to think Granny would'a used that new-fangled scrubbin' box for doing the dishes... -- Dave

Here's an A-F which I think would only be lacking the Pre-Wash/Pre-Rinse and Spin Only:       -- Dave

Well shaving has grown expensive and it's a still mystifying wonder why a few razors are over-packaged in excessive amounts of pleasant cardboard... Gets me wondering how after more than forty years when I discovered I actually have hair on my face to shave how often I need to change my...

I dislike those captions and subtitles, they seem to be written according to phonetic pronunciation, and some words which are names aren't even capitalized...   My daughter's 'HOP' DVD has captioning that is very much like, too...       -- Dave

So what did we wake up to before this was invented?   Heard the first "wakening clocks" went off at a universally-agreeed time at 4:00 AM...       -- Dave [this post was last edited: 11/25/2024-17:24] https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/a-2000year-history-of-alarm-clocks

This stuff... -- Dave

Yes I can imagine how it may take time to acquire the comparable cookware, unless the manufacturers can quickly conjure up the right pots and pans... I lived in an apartment with a coil-top, so a range being the most-often used appliance was one we could count on always working... Or in that...

Yes, you should quit while the only thing really dead is the light bulb inside it, and that is probably hazardous to change...       -- Dave

Well very puzzling, even baffling to see the industry to have started with front loaders, introduce too loaders and them becoming the leading configuration in laundry rooms, just for Westy to go back to what would make it the last of the front-loading breeds... The inconvenience of the loading...

CHIPS!!!! Well prices of chips are needlessly on the rise, and go stale or lose interest in that I can’t often buy dip for them or even sour cream which I prefer so I seem to need to lop them off my diet too… Though the salt intake is not that harmful but amid the skyrocketing prices are being...

Well the idea of burner controls being placed back over the oven makes me leery of those burners going back to being tampered with and/or accidentally turned on... Had no idea of induction interfering with medical devices much like how a microwave is dangerous for people who have heart...

Seems like it will just make sense for electric ranges to totally become flat-top models, and if it's cheaper for the industry to stay with conventional electrics that one fluke you see of induction taking over then it just may be... I noticed brass being worked into gas burner designs, so if...

So at one time then, Modern Maid/Speed Queen was just a Maytag which just didn't yet build refrigerators and freezers...   Had a childhood friend who's family were "Norge-Nuts", having a Norge top freezer fridge and even a dishwasher, portable but plumbed-in, both in avocado green... And a...
