As for the "mix"...we like to use equal parts ground bison, lamb and pork. Works great...even "beef only" eaters like it. We never buy plain ground beef anymore, but bison instead. Much better for you, no chemicals, and less cholesterol than chicken! I always mix mine by hand, never a...

Stay away from the Cuisinart...it's a piece of junk. We bought one because it was RED and we thought it would be groovy to have a toaster that matched the Chambers. Big mistake. We have to toast most things TWICE to get the brownness we like (even with it turned to maximum brown), and it toasts...

My mom always made this simple but yummy recipe: 1 large can Campbell's Pork-and-Beans 1 cup brown sugar 1 large yellow onion cut into rings 1/2 cup Hunt's ketchup 1/2 cup French's yellow mustard salt/pepper to taste Mix all in a casserole and bake for about 45 minutes @ 350 degrees.

I humbly submit this photo essay I did to illustrate my recipe for some friends a couple of years ago: http://www.charcardz.com/gumbo/gumbo.html

The 60s gave us the courage to say that the lies we'd been told all our lives were BS and the freedom of thought to explore what might really be the truth. The 70s gave us the fallout of most folks' failing to figure it out. The evil 80s gave us the beginning of the clampdown reaction by those...

But...but...but...he's offering FREE SHIPPING, guys...c'mon! ;-)

There's a site called "The Raw Story" that I like. http://rawstory.com/ and also, although it's not necessarily "headline" news, there's a relatively new site called "Pro Publica" (tagline "journalism in the public interest") that I like, as well: http://www.propublica.org/ And finally...

Congrats! I'll never forget draggin' our "Maude" (A407 got for $20!) home, tipping her back and making sure the belts were good, and then watchin' her do her glorious Maytag thing without so much as a whimper!

Truly awesome! All that glorious Maytag goodness in one place...takes mah breath away, yessum!

Great looking window unit! Here in Texas, air conditioners are a matter of life and death. About ten years ago I was lucky enough to find one of the last "old style" Kenmore units (build date of 2/96) for our kitchen cabin. It's a monster, 18,000 BTU, 220V. Snagged it for $175. We have it...

I was at Sam's Club earlier today getting one of our tires replaced, and took a stroll through their TV aisle...it's pretty overwhelming, all the choices. But I'd echo what others have said...the 32-40 inch size would be the minimum I'd consider to replace a 25 inch "regular" TV. Comparing the...

Mrs. Modern looks at ranges... From the '30s

A truly awesome collection of vintage ads from magazines, arranged by year! Lots of ads for refrigerators, ranges, cars, just about everything. Great way to lose a few hours! ;-) http://graphic-design.tjs-labs.com/

Yogitunes: I still have my Slinky! You ain't so warped...I know some what's warped-er! ;-)

I've noticed that most of y'all relating fond memories about hanging out laundry are "up north" or, at least, not in deep south. Growing up in south Texas near the coast, half of our back yard was usually a vegetable garden every year, and within 10 or 20 miles were several chemical plants which...

For the last year or so, we've been checking out the different brands of "dark chocolate"...strictly for the medicinal benefits, of course! Since the news that dark chocolate is good for your heart, we've allowed ourselves a tiny treat every evening...not a whole bar, just a square or two...

Good luck! Every time I've ever made it, I get asked for the recipe. And yes, the secret is in doing everything while the potatoes are still warm. Also, make sure you use RED potatoes...russets or whites just don't work for this! I may just have to whip up a batch of this m'self...it's been awhile!

This is my late mother's recipe, tweaked just a bit. She used (ugh!) "miracle whip", I use Hellman's! She peeled the potatoes, I leave the skins on. So Happy Mother's Day... Betty Jo's Tater Salad: Red potatoes, about a dozen large 1 large yellow onion, diced 4 ribs celery, diced 2 large dill...

I'd change the belts before I tried anything else...THE easiest thing to do as far as repairs, and one of those things that "should" be done to make the machine last as long as possible.

D'oh...forgot to mention: My brother bought a 1975 Firebird, because of the one "Jim Rockford" drove in The Rockford Files. It was blue with a white vinyl roof...when that vinyl roof started to rust that got traded in for the VERY LAST of the "BIG" Pontiacs, before they began to shrink: a 1977...
