Another Great Wheat Cookbook is the book below by LeArta Moulton. She's been famous for a few decades among Mormons and others into whole wheat cookery, and put out a gluten cookbook. She's got a few videos on YouTube. I've scanned her recipes for 'Quick Rolls and Buns'. These are great...

Congratulations! I bought my first Bosch mixer in college in 1978, sold in this country by Magic Mill as the 'Magic Mixer'. I still have it! It's had thousands of loaves of whole wheat bread made with w.w. flour milled by me. I still own 3 mills, usually buy my wheat from either Wheat...

Calamari I read not too long ago that over 2/3 of the food sold as calamari in restaurants is actually seasoned pig's anus. Duplicates the chewiness, etc.

I bought a sous vide cooker as an early Christmas present for myself. It just came today and I've put a NY strip in there set for medium-rare. I have one of those French-type marinators with a couple dozen needles, so I marinated the steak for a couple of hours in Worcestershire sauce and a...

I'm So Glad the vinegar helped! I just never could tolerate that waxy, slimy sensation of liquid fabric softener--rather like a combination of snot and semen. I'm a real user of white vinegar around the house. It's so cheap and it does so many things well.

The Latest Video on this washer is supposedly 'small', but the water level is very close to the top of the agitator. Doesn't look like much difference. I'll say that for my SQ 432--small is definitely way less and mini is even less.

appnut How low-sudsing were the detergents claiming it back then, like Dash? Would they qualify as HE by today's standards? I know my mama used Rinso Blue when I was very small, on her old Bendix horizontal. When she got her Frigidaire in '63 she switched to Tide and used it the rest of her...

Congratulations! I've always wanted a twin tub, actually have thought about buying a Danby over the past few years. We never sold those in the volume that you did in GB.

Nice Washer! What's "economy wash"?

kimball455 I just used that 6 quart s.s. pot to boil pasta yesterday evening. The lack of a handle is no problem, and with silicone gloves the large, heavy rounded lip around the top of the pot is easy to grasp if I wish. And I got rid of my 6 quart s.s. pot with a handle because it was no...

Thanks So Much! Going back and looking, I see the insignias on the front of the washer and dryer. Again, looking at the blurry fine print under the Whirlpool name, it looks like either 1955 or 1956 to me.

Isn't It Nice to have a kitchenette, particularly if you're staying more than one night? I used to travel most of the time with a compact juicer, trying to make vegetable juice at least one meal, and it was sure nice to have that kitchen sink and dishwasher. The trouble with Marriott's...

Beautiful Home- So funny how in this country this is considered an old home, whereas in so many countries this wouldn't be considered particularly old at all...

Resident Inn I tried to travel and stay in Marriott properties to maximize my points with them. I spent dozens of nights in those Residence Inns. They were handy for me because I could use the living room/kitchen to meet with local managers and didn't have to rent a meeting room. I don't see...

I just purchased a copy of the Feb. 1991 issue of Consumer Reports. Great issue--they did fully separate testing of laundry detergents, laundry boosters, fabric softeners (all 3 types) and washers. They obviously hadn't gone gaga yet for front loaders; the one tested, the White-Westinghouse...

Doorknobs What I love to see in vintage homes is those clear glass or heavy plastic doorknobs. Plus, they were easy to grip!

agiflow2 My old eyes can't tell whether it's 1955 or 1956 at the bottom of that ad, but the closest Consumer Reports I have to that date is August, 1958. The Sears and its twin the Whirlpool washer rated in the second tier behind the Maytag and two Frigidaires. Boy, this was indeed a cool time...

Looking at today's POD, I see that they are touting Whirlpool's "seven rinses" that supposedly use less water than competitors' two or three rinses. What are these?

I don't know where it started, but I know I've eaten Frito-Lay bean dip from here in Texas since I was a small child. And I love making my own now. It's pretty much a staple here when I have friends over for cards or dominoes. I tend to make mine with fresh pinto beans and fresh ground...

I Couldn't Agree More-- You'd be amazed, probably, at the number of kitchen appliances and gadgets that I've gotten rid of in the past five years. As I said earlier, I've given away three slow cookers, four stand mixers and, I think, four pressure cookers. I've given away several large pieces...
