Have made this bread several times. It is well worth the time and it always works out. Perfect for beginners. I am going to give the rolls a try. I am making ham and beans tomorrow so that and green beans will go with it. It is hard to find good crusty bread these days. Enjoy! I think it...

Hi Bill, Here is a copy of (in her hand writing) my 95 year old mother in laws recipe for mayonnaise. She has made this for herself as long as I have known her. 50 years at least. We make it for our sandwiches on occasion. It is probably best to go and purchase a jar of your favorite brand for...

Looks good Eddie. I will try the micro method. I make it pretty much the same but on the stove. Could add ham chunks or tuna. I sometimes make it with egg noodles. What ever is here. I have been thinking of making mac and cheese the past few days. So cold lately. It would be good. See Ya

If my mom was out of Bisquick she made her own. 9 cups flour, 2 cups shortening (most likely lard in the 50's) and 1/4 cup baking powder. Blend together and store in tight container.

I have somewhere a Sheaffer fountain pen my dad gave to me at my 8th grade graduation. I used that pen for many years writing Christmas, birthday, thank you and other cards. I thought it was pretty cool. Back then people commented on my handwriting. Now it has deteriorated. Probably 20 years...

Trader Joes Brand sells and it is 4% milk fat, small curd. Pink and white container. The price is good too. It seems to be the best around now days.

Sunshine Biscuits was an independent American baker of cookies, crackers, and cereals.The company, whose brand still appears today on a few products (e.g., Cheez-Its), was purchased by Keebler Company in 1996 which was subsequently purchased by Kellogg Company in 2000. I think Mothers cookies is...

When I grew up it seemed like there was always cottage cheese and fruit on the table for breakfast and dinner. Mostly canned peaches unless she had fresh fruit from neighbors trees. Mom bought Knudsen large curd in the blue container. I am sure because dad liked it. I would sometimes talk her in...

Wow! That kitchen is awesome. We had a kitchen like that in the early 70's when we lived in San Francisco in a flat. Good idea how you are setting up the DW. The library is so much what we would like to do. Enjoy every minute of being there and the memories this house brings with it. Dano

Try home depot. They carry a lot of different sizes and they are priced well. You might look on line for pricing.

We use Kirklands (Costco) brand of canned chicken. It comes in 12.5 oz cans. You can get under a name brand in your grocery store. I make chicken salad with it. Chicken, onion, celery, dill pickles, pepper, and mayo. Chop and mix to your own liking,. Also, we will use it for emergency when...

After years trying electric shavers and multi blade razors (even Harrys) I found my old Gillette adjustable razor and went to Walmart to get blades. Only double edge was a off the wall name and bought them. Tried it out and it worked pretty well. It does take your beard a while to get used to...

Vinegar is our best friend here in Oregon. We are on community wells and it pushes up very hard water. We descale every month or so, coffee pot, kettle and pots and pans that water boils in like a egg poacher. Looking in the washer we seldom see suds. We do use a britta. No automatic ice...

They work well on flat top electric stove. I have a handle that clips on and you can use larger casseroles as a fry pan or smaller as a sauce pan. There are some on Etsy. We have corning that is 47 years old given to us when we married and it still looks good. We enjoy using it.

Yep, were in. This will be our Easter cake this year. Thank you very much for sending it. My dads favorite cake was applesauce spice cake. My mom or aunt used to make it for Christmas or T day. I also loved the cake and it was two layers and usually frosted with buttercream. When my mom...

IS the apple sauce cake a scratch cake. If so I would like to try it. Thanks,Dano

What a great catalog. It seems to have any part you would need for the time. I grew up starting in Rivera, CA. It soon changed to Pico Rivera merging two towns. It was suburbs in those days in the 1950's. Few wives had a car at home. So, We had Whittier Dairy milk man, Helms Bakery truck a...

We have corned beef in oven now. Carrots, potato and cabbage all done in the oven. Dark chocolate brownies with walnuts for dessert. Happy St. Patricks Day to you all. Dan and JoEllen

Super find. I think they are beautiful. I still have my 806 in my shed. I plan on getting it out this spring and getting it up and running. I miss that machine. It is the last of my collection or collecting. You will love them.

Both of those sound good and look easy. Next time I make a chocolate cake I will try one. I like to change things up to be different. Today I made a carrot cake. I haven't made on in quite a while. My wife has been leaving hints. I used sour cream in the frosting instead of cream cheese. I...
