My collecting days are over but am curious if and where these items are in Connecticut.

Hmm... what exactly is a 'bespoke" washer and dryer? That seems to be the word of the year. Around here, a new veterinary clinic just opened and allegedly provides "bespoke" care for the animals. And as far as laundry, people are actually getting dumber and dumber about a very basic task...

Apologies for my earlier duplicate post - wasn't focused...

I think Pure and Natural is still sold - not widely available for sure and only in the "personal size" (as opposed to "bath size"). I will look next time I am at one of the smaller ethnic supermarkets in my area. Reminds me a bit of Lux soap (at least the scent does anyway - floral but...

What a silly article. Indeed, who are these "experts"? Some of the comments following the article were even worse - - people even just hanging their sheets out to air? If you're going to the trouble to strip the bed and remake it, why not just wash the sheets? And cold water washing for bed...

Also, how do you determine the appropriate dosage if you don't have a comparable washer? For example, if you were to use this in a regular top loading washer, how much would you use? I struggle with that whenever I have used German Persil and actually, the US detergent instructions aren't that...

The only source I know about here in the lower New England area is Amazon. Some of the independent appliance stores that sold Miele laundry equipment once carried some of the German Persil powder and gel/liquid but no longer.

That's a steal by today's standards. Duke's isn't widely available here in the Northeast, except for The Fresh Market- and I believe that's because they are based in North Carolina, so, their store in Westport, CT. carries Duke's. It is however usually priced at $5.99 per jar. I did find it...

Ok, this may be an unpopular opinion but "rollover" does not, by definition, mean better washing ability. I know people are quite critical of Consumer Reports lately, but back in the day when they actually gave detailed reviews of individual performance factors, GE washers always scored high on...

Those pics of Hot Dog Tommy's made me hungry for some Frankfurts. That place looks amazing. And nothing produces a great Frankfurt like one of those roller grills!!! Looking at some of the offerings, I am amazed how different parts of the US dress their Frankfurts. The Seattle dog looks...

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...

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...

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 -...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...
