Here’s the finished dinner ready to serve. Eddie

I have everything ready to go. The turkey breast will go into the oven at 12:30pm. Yesterday I baked the Apple Pie and prepared the Yam casserole and dressing which will only need to be placed into the oven finish heating while the turkey breast rests before carving and while I make the gravy...

We’ve been using a Sunbeam Heated Mattress pad on our Cal King bed for 4 years with no problems whatsoever. The control can be programed to turn off the electricity after 10 hours. It never over heats and it keeps us both nice and warm, especially David’s feet which are prone to getting cold...

You can place your topper over the heated mattress pad Mark, but you won’t get nearly as much warmth from the heated pad if you do so. I know this from personal experience. We get much better and even warmth from our Sunbeam Heated Mattress pad by not covering it with the regular mattress pad...

I’ll second that thought Tim! An alarm clock going off is one of the WORST sounds in the world. Eddie

Re:#’s 18 and 23 Looks like a stray Kleenex or two made its way into that load of towels. And the filter looks like it needs a good cleaning too. Both would be user errors. Eddie

I guess I just always go against the popular opinion on washing machines. Back in ‘87 when we purchased our excellent White Westinghouse FL set Consumer Reports gave them mediocre at best reviews. Most people had very negative viewpoints on FL’s, TL’s were King like Robert said. We had 7...

If they still built front loaders like they used to when this POD ad was produced I’d still be buying an FL whenever I needed a replacement. I’m not ignorant! I don’t like the new FL’s that take an hour or more to complete a load. And I really don’t like the temperamental spin cycles that...

Re:#6 Regarding letting good food go to waste. Trust me, when I’m finished stripping the turkey breast carcass of ALL the breast meat there is NOTHING left but the bare bones. I use all the smaller pieces of the white meat to make either some Turkey Chili, a casserole, turkey salad sandwiches...

Nay, Launderess, I’ll pass on making Turkey soup with the carcass, Pressure Cooker or not.  I don’t like messing with all the bones.  But for those that like to do so more power to you.  It’s certainly a great way to stretch the grocery budget.  My Mom always did this and it was delicious.    ...

I’ve already got most of the ingredients purchased.  It will be just David and I this year for Thanksgiving.  It’s David’s very favorite meal of the year and we usually eat the leftovers for dinner for the next 4 to 5 days,  which is fine with me.   The Menu is as follows:  Roast Turkey...

Ralph, I wonder if that purple discoloration around the edges of the inside of the door frame could be some kind of mold?  If that’s the case it could be very difficult to get rid of it.   Eddie

Ralph, from looking at these vintage ads these Philco Conservador’s looked like they were pretty nice refrigerators for 1940.     Eddie

Thanks Tom, I didn’t know that about the Crosley patent on refrigerator door shelves.  Makes sense though with their Shelvador model.   Eddie

Ralph, Did you look at the link to the eBay listing that I posted?  It’s an early 1940’s model, not from the 50’s.  There are several more similar listings on eBay for this same Philco Coservador refrigerator.     Eddie

Ralph, I’ve never seen a separate shelve door like this one that isn’t actually on the refrigerator door.  Perhaps the control on the left above the freezer section is to control the temp of the shelve door?  The 50 degree setting would be for those that wanted to keep their butter soft.  Kind...

Re:#55 Yes Jack, and at $7.50 for 3 mins these Long Distance calls were damn expensive in 1967 too!  Minimum wage  was $1.35 an hr. in ‘67 so a 3 min call would have cost a min wage earner almost 6 hours of their earnings!    People didn’t just causally pick up the phone and ideally talk on...

#36 I remember Foremost Big Dip Ice Milk.  My grandma used to buy it.  She used to say it was “dietetic” because it was lower in calories than ice cream.     Eddie

You could always wear a mask when you grate the soap to prevent inhaling the dust, just about everyone has a mask somewhere since the Pandemic.   I would be careful though in regularly using a homemade “detergent” made with soap in a modern automatic washer.  It could cause a build up of soap...

My cookie sheets are Nordic Ware and are aluminum. Aluminum heats more evenly than SS and bakes better cookies. I wouldn’t put a good quality aluminum cookie sheet in the DW. Of course SS wouldn’t be harmed in a DW. Eddie
