The people who made glasswax also made snowy bleach

Yes tab is still around But the formula last time I saw it had saccharin. Possibly now has nutrasweet, maybe splenda's next. It's hard to come by, was a coca-cola product and I don't know how much cc competes with itself. Seldom ever see Mr. Pibb, some parts of the country have it still...

Rice the old fashioned way On the stove-as soon as rice comes to a boil, reduce heat to a gentle bubble. Watch for water to completely evaporate (you do have to keep your eye on rice). Then it should be ready. Not sticky, just nice and fluffy. We use 2 cups of water per cup of rice. This works...

I second that Arthur! Makes me want to go make a small pot of coffee right now.

Oh yeah, I know where that is-way down yonder! That's cool Bob. Do you speak any cajun? I know so little, the New orleans area contingency might know some. Glad you know how to make rice too. ONce a person gets it down pat, minute rice just won't do except maybe in a pinch. I think that...

Oh I remember that-well sort of Abig announcement came on television one night telling us that sodium cyclamate had caused cancer in laboratory rats. The anchor then proceeded to name different items which contained it. Pre-sweetened Kool-Aid was one, some of the instant sweetened ice-tea mixes...

sign me up, steve Sounds great to me. There probably is a disadvantage or two, but wouldn't be bad. I guess since Texas and Louisiana are the 1st and 2nd in gas production, we got the gas use thing started a long time ago. However many rural residents don't have a gas line near and must us...

it is Bob. The Chinese take-out down the street has a huge one that sits on the floor by the stove-looks like an easy 12 qts. Not knowing how to cook rice in louisiana is sacrilege also. I'd be in trouble today if someone hadn't taught meLOL

67 whilpools Agiflow-they are 67's, possibly the book didn't get an update copywright for some reason. The beautiful Maytag set is at least a 66. But thanks Don for all of these good pictures. You done good, man

I would love to have a rice cooker But my wife says it's easy to make on the stove. She does a great job of it, too. It will boil over in a heartbeat. I love gadgets myself-I'll have to sneak one in.

And a couple more to add to our collection of memories Dishwasher All-Mom always bought this one instead of Cascade which I liked better. Glasswax-In a pink quart can, did a good job as I recall, but that wiping was so time consuming. Was supposed to be used for mirrors, windows, appliances...

That Thor's kinda cute Hmmm. Is this company the Thor of old that we in this group are familiar with? The emblem did say since 1907, I guess so. But didn't they take a hiatus beginning in the late 50's until recently? Or were they owned by someone else and marketed overseas? I haven't seen...

Roughly that year, Austin Also the commercial line of Kenmores kept the swingback lid all these years. One apartment complix I lived in had KM coin machines like that; also the dryers had the sideswing doors, unlike the trad. pull down door (load-a-door?). Why this big of difference in...

Very Interesting about oil heat I still think it's the way to go. Pricewise is not always competative with natural gas, but I understand that it can be with market price. The new home builders in this area still install gas forced-air heat and electric A/C more than anything else. The heating...

Wonderful news, Don

Aye!

Guys If the machine that did it all could be made, there would be a waiting list miles long to get one. Talk about the ultimate stepLOL!

Now that's weird, ToddMan But interesting of course. Hope you get this washer, Mr. Delp. Those old Maytags have to be interesting. We are all excited about this out here!

OMG! NO!

I love those classic colors, Robert And I see quite a few pieces featuring these. Would love to see what you do with your living room. Is the kitchen finished yet? We're waiting to see. Thanks, David
