I was reading about how this cake was a sensation when a woman from Houston, TX entered into the 1966 Pillsbury Bake Off. Seems like it created a run on Bundt pans, which up to then had been modest selling items. We made it last week, and I have to say, this was one scrumptious cake!

Recently while under the shelter-in-place order here in Michigan, my sister and I spent a few hours putting together a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle that featured covers of vintage cook books. The puzzle was a gift received from my brother a few years ago, and with extra time at home it seemed like a...

Eddie that cake looks wonderful and rich! Nothing better than a good pound cake. Congrats on your "new" Mixmaster. I remember seeing those from time to time when they came out and always wondered how they performed. Sounds like they are good machines. I've used Watkins vanilla and other...

We pulled some of the toasters off the shelves at Cavalcade and took a closer look. While we were at it we toasted up some bread!

Hotpoint Welcome, Trey! John Lefever has one of these in the museum kitchen in MD. We actually used it cooking for the Wash-In a few years back and it worked very well. The unit sits on the countertop. You don't see these too often - worth holding onto!

What a beautiful and fully featured range you have - again!! Great story!! Enjoy!

That is a REAL beauty!! Enjoy - it looks wonderful with the chrome handles!

Typewriter room at Cavalcade Here is the typewriter area a Cavalcade where I have kids from the local elementary school come in and types. The kids love the machines - all manuals. This is about half of my collection. I eventually hope to have them all in one location. I use a typewriter...

John and Lawrence- Thanks for the helpful information in dating the range!

A small custom cabinet maker shop located in a small Michigan town was being liquidated a couple weeks ago and there were lots of interesting items there, especially if you were looking for wood working equipment. There was an old showroom and one of the displays had this GE drop in range with...

Prunes have always been a hit with me, and since I had a couple of bags of them in the pantry, I thought we'd make some muffins.

Louis - you're welcome! Hope you give it a try! Tom - there's too much light over and around the stove to see the "Color Glance" controls with the camera, but I can see them. The area that lights up in color is actually fairly small. Yes, the medium-high setting fits that Faberware saucepan...

We are big fans of Thai cuisine, and this dish was inspired by something I recently enjoyed in a restaurant. If you had the time, you could make this in a slow cooker, but I used a Dutch oven and cooked it in the Westinghouse.

We took a few blenders down from the shelf for a closer look.

Here in the Detroit area, one item you'll see on every Polish restaurant menu is dill pickle soup. It's probably a staple in other Polish or Slavic communities, and it's something my family has been making ever since I can remember. It is chicken stock based, and really doesn't take long to...

Thanks so much, everyone! I appreciate all the comments on the kitchen - thank you! The Stroganoff was great - served it with roasted carrots and it was a nice winter's supper. Bob - the two burner cooktop is a GE. Rick - I found the little Formica dinette at a garage sale a couple summers...

We are finally getting back to making cooking videos now that the kitchen studio is pretty much completed. Always craving comfort foods and things that remind us of mom's cooking, we made a batch of beef Stroganoff.

Roger - that’s a dish I also enjoy but haven’t made in years. I’ll have to dig around and see if I can find my recipe for it.

A real beauty!! You have done a wonderful job with it - just stunning! Come spring, get her out on the road and enjoy!

That’s a beauty! Congrats and enjoy!
