butter and cream. Most people I know are rather horrified by my diet, I eat terribly rich things, cook with real butter and cream, use real cream in my coffee, etc. When I point out what I eat is far more natural, they ask about calories. I say the French had it right, a small serving of...

lynchburg.. Omg, I love it! It's nearly 500 miles away, but if it was white I would be truly considering the trip.

wow. Ok, normally I would say eating healthy is over rated, ( I'm a fan of Julia child and the 2 fat ladies, plenty of butter and cream, lol.) However, this looks delicious! Drat, now I'm hungry, lol.

Call me twisted but... I actually like the scent. Smells like something from my gramma's laundry room when I was kid, (possibly raid, lol).

woodgrain kenmore I have that exact model tucked away in the back bedroom. It does an amazing job, especially with the 2 speeds, high for carpets, low for rugs. The only real gripe I've ever had with singer vacuums was the handle height when released from its upright position. Since I am 5...

I have to agree.. The vac site isn't nearly as friendly, reminds me of a bunch of petty high school girls all competing to outdo each other, secretly disliking each other, and looking for people to screech at for daring to disagree with them. Not saying that's every member of the vac site...

diaper and laundry service. The town I spent most of my teenage years in had a laundry and diaper service up until the early to mid 1980's. My best friends grandmother worked there from the 1940s right up until they shut down in the 80s, and tons of their vintage linens and such still had...

I blame price. My grandmother preferred a 40 inch range, since it gave her 2 ovens to cook for all of us out on the farm, but when time came to replace it in the late 80s she couldn't justify to herself the added expense of another 40 inch range, by that time they were looked at as a niche...

double wash.. First wash with dawn dish liquid, then wash with tide. First wash warm, second wash hot. And for the love of all that is holy, never dry anything that still smells of oil, kerosene, or gasoline. That smell is flammable fumes. Maybe too weak to be dangerous in an open room, but...

educating mom.. Actually she had one when I was very young, and has missed it ever since, so she actually knows more about the cook top than me I think, lol. Her old one came with a house we moved into, and of course it stayed when we moved. She is particularly happy about the 2 spare...

yukk! Does no one in the world clean their oven anymore? The stove is nice, and God knows rare, but for the price he is wanting the least he could have done is take the trouble to clean the oven. Even at friends houses, it seems like the oven is always filthy. Not to sound snobbish, but I...

downdraft venting Actually I will hook up the downdraft system. To mom it is one of the bonuses, since due to the way her house is built, there is no way to vent the hood outdoors, so hers tends to blow right in the cook's face when used. Because of that, I will have to use the indoor venting...

switching the element.. She already has me on the hunt for the grill set up, and possibly the rotisserie set up since her new oven won't be big enough for a large ham or turkey.

Well, my mom, ( my real mom, the aunt who raised me, not the jackal who birthed me), finally admitted it was time for a different stove and a kitchen redo this week. She had a POS frigidaire gallery smooth top slide in, the oven circuit board was failing, and had become so dim you could no...

possible pan for you.. Somewhere around here I have one of the pressure cooker pans for a deep well. It was too short for my GE, so I never used it much in the deep well, but I did use it on the surface burners and it still seals and comes up to proper pressure. If the dimensions are...

wow Hans, you never fail to amaze me and show us something previously unseen. I truly didn't realize any company offered a deep well with an 8 inch burner, no less an 8 inch burner that could double as a surface unit. I still didn't find the deep well itself very useful, except as a version...

a money saving pain in the a** They were meant to be economical, often called a thrift cooker, the well had heavily insulated sides, and the pot had a heavily insulated lid. This meant you could cook one pot meals using less current, and heating the house less ( very important in pre air...

It does have a sort of endearing simplicity. I always kind of liked the electric ranges that resembled gas models. I wonder though, is it a full 40 inches, or 36? The size looks a little off.

sausage rolls. 1 pound breakfast sausage 1 batch your favorite biscuit dough Crumble and fry sausage until about half done, drain grease and set aside. Mix up biscuit dough, and roll out into a decent sized rectangle. Spread the sausage over the dough, and roll up the dough like a jelly...

Tim.... Your hard water shouldn't have had any ability to eat through the porcelain finish of the bowl, causing stains. That rough cruddy looking finish you are seeing is actually water deposits. I moved into a house with extremely hard well water, and the toilet bowl looked like there was...
