you served gnocci and risotto together??? How could you?  Didn't you see "Big Night"?  just kidding - risotto and gnocci are among my favorite food groups.   Also I am a huge fan of Biba.  The "Italy al Dente" is her best book I think.  We have a saying in our house.... "You can't make a...

Aveda.... Been the only shampoo i have been using for over 20 years.  Not cheap but smells really nice and does a nice job on my hair.   And they are a very eco-friendly company.

"you wear them when you give smart dinner parties." All Ethel wanted was a toaster!   What a great show that was.

"Honey don't be a dishwasher, BUY a Dishwasher!" Lawrence I love that!   I will have to tell my sister in law that - although she has a GE Monogram dishwasher in her new kitchen.  I doubt that she will use it much. She still likes to do them by hand!    <span class="hps" title="Click for...

Thanks for the photos Laundress! I used to love to go to the coin op laundermats when I was little - always had to have a box of soap as a souvenier.  About 25 years ago my parents were on a trip and went to the laundermat - their gift to me from that trip was a small box of Cheer  - still...

Whisk in a box??? I remember it in a dark red plastic bottle.  Mom used it for pre-spotting but never the whole wash.  Man, I remember that stuff made mountains of suds - even in hard well water!

Rinso!! That is what my mom used to use when I was litle.   I remember a lot of differnt box designs - some blue, some green and I think some red (Was a long time ago!)   I remember it went through a period of intermittant availabilty as the phosphate bans were implemented in the late '60s...

I almost always take my "Danbury Garden Club" shoppi I keep them in the trunk and they hold a lot more than the plastic ones and are actually easier to deal with bringing into the house.   I like to keep a small stash of plastic bags for other purposes (bringing lunch, wrapping up stinky...

have been doing 190 degree F washes for the kitchen linens f Have tried doing them with the same machine (Miele 1918A) and the same detergent (Persil Megaperls) with lower temps in the past (155 and 140) but was ususally not pleased with the results.  Am now currently setting the machine to 85...

very cool.... and very reassuring... to know that there are still great minds out there thinking about and building all sorts of fantastic things.    

Mike, that one is very similar to the one we had Instead of a rinse and hold switch, we had a series of buttons and lights in that space - and no dial - wonder if it was a Custom Imperial??     I do remember seeing ones like yours when we were shopping in the home stores (all local or...

When I was a kid we had this before we redid the kitchen and got the built in Roper.  It had the coolest buttons and lights and made all sorts of sounds when the timer was advancing.   Anyone know any more about it?  Was a cool machine.  would love to see better photos of it or an owner's...

Roper? We had one from 1972 that had that dial along with several buttons for the cycles and a 6 or 8 indicator lights on the right left hand side of the control panel that would light as the cycle progressed.

dryer looks like a GE?? Not sure what the washer was but I had to guess I would say maytag.

I think they were/are based in NJ and were a retailer of Persil, Somat and other products.  I purchased Both Persal andthe Somat Dishwasher powder from them last fall but now the website just has a page for sending them an email.   Did they go out of businesss?  I hope not as they were the...

Gordon... that washer in your profile picture is very much l Grandma worked for the local Sears store in the credit department.  Not sure if that machine is the exact model she had but it is very close.  I think the lid had a black background with operating instructions on it in white and the...

what about the Kohler Electric Sinks of the 1920's here is a photo of an ad for one. 

we had a similar machine only it was a top loader It was our first Dishwasher.  Not sure when we got it (I think 1969 or1970) but I remember Dad bypassing the faucet connector and plumbing it in.  It had a big butcher block top and very similar controls.  Used to love the sound it made when you...
