I have this lovely Western Electric model in my living room. My grandparents had it since their marriage in 1952, I assume it was a used unit at that time. I’m undecided on which exchange I want in center of the dial. Should I go with the LUther7 number my grandparents had, or if I should use my...

I eat cottage cheese every so often. I buy United Dairy 2% large curd. I eat it with a little salt and plenty of black pepper. One thing grandma used to make for dinner that her and grandpas loved was cottage cheese noodles. It was egg noodles, browned butter or bacon grease, and cottage...

Here is a pic of the old Liberator.

Kevin, As much as I wanted the auxiliary outlets, having that second oven and super-matic burner were more important to me. Over last 4 years I’ve come to find the small oven gets used far more than the big one when cooking for one.

Well, I’ve been on the search for another stove for several months now. I was tired of my yellow 1959 Liberator range, and the fluorescent light quit working, and the thermostat wires keep burning to the large oven thermostat. Tonight I picked up a 40” Hotpoint. It appears to be TOL with two...

I always like vegetable soup the way granny makes it. Hers is a tomato juice base with whole canned tomatoes added, as well as browned ground beef, lots of cabbage, corn, green beans, carrots, and potatoes. Cooked slowly on the stovetop in her 12 qt Enterprise Aluminum stockpot, then near the...

I love my electric knife. Mine is a mid 60s GE in avocado. Was grandmas. We both use it for carving hams, I’ve used it for bread and cheese as well

I’ll be making my usual items to take to Thanksgiving dinner. I make halupki, mashed potatoes, and for dessert I’ll take a lemon meringue cheesecake this year. I despise pumpkin anything so you’ll never see a pumpkin dessert here.

Some of my cold weather favorites Beef stew Hamburger pie Beef burgundy Pot roast with onions and carrots Stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes Stuffed peppers with mashed potatoes and creamed peas Vegetable soup Baked ham with bourbon glaze or raisin sauce Meat sauce with meatballs and...

I have an Osterizer Cyclomatic 50th Anniversary and a Lady Kenmore blender I use it pretty much only to make an occasional chocolate-cherry milkshake and to make vinaigrette dressings. On rare occasion I use while making a small batch of applesauce, usually I make so much a Foley food mill is...

Actually, in the early 1970s there was an explosion in my home due to natural gas. The neighbor across the street had a natural gas leak coming from their supply line, the gas built up in the well for my home, and when the pump for the well kicked on it caused an explosion. It damaged all the...

Upon thinking I recall our high school and elementary school were both heated with coal. The high school opened for the 1963/64 school year, and the elementary school opened in the mid 1980s. In the mid 1990s when asbestos was removed from the high school the heat was switched to natural gas...

We never had coal heat, but everyone in the family had wood stoves used as supplemental heat. I assume my home, built in 1946 had a coal furnace originally as there is a coal chute in the wall of the porch, I still use that chute, but my coal cellar is now filled with wood. Being in a rural...

My house still has one of those GE triple outlets in the back bedroom. And I remember my grandmother had one of those Tap-a-line power strips in her finished basement, it was plugged in to a practically inaccessible outlet, and there was a table lamp and her Sunbeam Ironmaster always plugged...

Growing up my paternal grandmother used a pressure cooker, however not too often, was just used for corn on the cob, spare ribs, and occasionally cabbage rolls. Her sister used her her Alcamatic aluminum pressure cooker for everything My mother and maternal grandmother never used a pressure...
