You're right, Mike--Ayres' soup was delicious...only think better (IMHO) was the chicken pot pie! The Tea Room at LS Ayres in Glenbrook (Fort Wayne) was the first place I had a Monte Cristo sandwich. Those are starting to reappear on menus around here, but they are not the same. Ayres...

I wonder If that's the same King Ranch that makes a Ford pickup or Expedition so dang expensive? Maybe there's a casserole in the glove box?

Ah, Hudson's... Having grown up half an hour east of Fort Wayne, it was very exciting when Hudson's opened their store in the new wing of Glenbrook Mall in 1980. Even though it was a smaller store, it was gorgeous and had nearly everything. True, it didn't have the food hall or furniture or...

So our neighbor had us over to see her house last night. She's getting ready to put the house on e market. I was immediately captivated by her stove. Late 50s/ early 60s Caloric. She says it works perfectly except for the left oven/rotisserie, which the gas company disconnected for no reason...

was dad unemployed? LOL There was no weekend delivery back in the day, at least not where I grew up. Our mothers routinely left us alone to go visiting, run an errand, go to choir practice/PTA/etc., or even to work, at a way younger age than what is considered appropriate today. And we...

Can you imagine this ad running today? "Mom! Come home quick! Your new washer is here, and so are the people from the Department of Children's Services!"

Online support If you go to the website for your brand of stereo, you should be able to find the support page, where you can pull up your exact model # and get an online/PDF copy of the manual, and often some sort of Q and A about features, troubleshooting, etc. It could be that the...

Hi Jeff I come through Mansfield to and from my mom's every Thanksgiving and Christmas--we should try to meet up. I would love to visit your mini-museum! Like everyone else on here, i am in LOVE with the colorful pushbuttons and Jetson-esque swoopy backsplash on those Custom Imperials! Brian

Looks like my Aunt's machines They bought all new matching harvest gold Kenmore washer, dryer, range, refrigerator when they bought their first house, which was probably about 1973. It's been too many years to swear to it being the exact model and year, but it's pretty durn close. Am I right...

LG bottom freezer (not French door), new in 2010. Beeps when either door has been open for "too long". Never timed it but I'd estimate about a minute and a half... Great feature (especially since the freezer drawer can look closed if you aren't paying close attention, but if something is...

Connecticut routinely comes down on retailers that have scan discrepancies, although I think it was more common back when Sen. Blumenthal was still our Atty General. Much of the time, you get the item free if you catch it scanning wrong. My husband always makes the cashier at Stop & Shop not...

I would think it has that capability, but I'd need to know the brand and model of your receiver to give you a better answer. There are all sorts of ways the manufacturer can configure it to work. I'm guessing that you would want the ability to play a CD or radio station on your receiver and...

From the pic above, I'm actually impressed at how neat/tidy/organized everything looks. For a hoarder, at least. I mean, just look at the precision with which those refrigerator magnets are arranged! This may shame me into trying to tackle our basement. Which could mean that a Tappan gas...

Good luck! I mean that as a cheerful well-wishing, not a sarcastic voice of doom :) Those look like what my grandmother had in the house they lived in in the 3arly 80s, except hers were pink, with a matching refrigerator. All very pristine, as if they bought the house from their clones! (My...

Hey Tom! (CircleW) Sorry for the late reply--haven't been able to spend much time on here. When we left town, we lived in Price Hill. Before that, in Covington, just down the hill from Villa Hills. During my single years, I lived all over--Mt Auburn, Clifton, Mt Washington, Pleasant Ridge...

Can't say as I have... But I'll tell you I'm not that impressed by Tide's oxy wash booster. No idea if Clorox 2's version is any better.

Nope... Turns out it wasn't a clogged inlet--that was clean as a whistle. The pump was going/pretty much gone. To replace the pump would have been more than the new machine she replaced it with. Admittedly, she seems to have gone pretty BOL, and replaced the KA with a Kenmore. The KM is...

Another holiday, another post This was my grandmother's (dad's side) Noritake china. The pattern name appears to be "Wellesley". I figure she must have acquired the set over time, judging from the variations in the hall marks. Or perhaps being so old, the marks just weren't always...

In Connecticut many, many people call it gravy. And lasagna is served at all holiday meals--Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving... They also call mozzarella cheese "mootz" and ricotta "rigut". And along the shoreline, the first letter of "pizza" is "A". (Apizza--pronounced uh-PEETZ) I'm from...

Thanks, Bob! That's pretty much where my mind was going with that. Is that the sort of thing that is fairly easy to check and clear out? My mom is pretty handy--much more so than I am!
