Kevin, I have enjoyed your videos, some here, and others directly from Youtube. Thanks for posting them! The Sunkist does deliver, for me, the best fresh squeezed orange juice. I have tried the manual presses, and I have a Breville Citrus Juicer. I am sure the height of the ridges on the...

Thanks, Frigilux, for the photo turning. I wish I knew how to do that. Since there are no takers here, my next stop will be on craigslist for $5.00, then for free.

Recently I becaue interested in manual press citrus squeezers and borrowed one (Ra Chand, all aluminum) from a friend for a week. It was ok. Then, I saw on my craigslist a Sunkist commercial juicer, which I bought for $20. Wow! It worked worlds better! But, it made a very loud noise while...

I use the German Persil Universal from amazon. I buy the biggest container available, and it lasts a long time.

Thanks, Matt! I am excited about seeing it sink perfectly into a Kitchenaid mixer bowl. I think I can find some friends with the tilt head model.

I remember reading about copper inserts for Kitchenaid mixers years ago, and bought one at a thrift store yesterday. I do not see any markings on it that say "Kitchenaid," however. It measures 8" diameter from lip to lip. It is about 6 3/4" tall. It has a lot of patina and looks old. From the...

For a short time, when I was maybe seven years old, we had this very dishwasher. I remember that the top was not porcelain; it was painted, and when the dishwasher had very hot water in it, the top got hot, too, and the paint softened. Someone in the family cratched the top when it was running...

It looks to be in good shape for its age and how long it has been in a basement. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/d/oakland-1930s-maytag-vintage-washer/7465187341.html

I have read Don Aslett's book, "Clutter's Last Stand," and its message is far more serious than its tone. I can say it has had an effect on my behavior.

How does the self stirrer work?

My guess is that those radiators work and that there is a basement. There is a lot to like about radiator heat, I have been told by my Chicago son. I think the ductwork is for air conditioning that was added years after the house was built. I enjoy seeing grand houses like that. I wonder what...

I am a fan of trash compactors--especially if you have a lot of trash and taking it out is a big chore, say you have to go down a lot of stairs or a long ways. They do need to be cleaned, though. When I need to replace mine, I look for a used one on craigslist. The last time I checked, new...

I like those Extra FancyMixed Nuts from Costco, too. And, the salt level is good for me.

The house my folks built in 1959 had round diffusers. In the center there was a handle that regulated the airflow and by the time I was 14, I was tall enough to reach it. I thought they were cool at the time. But, what I really liked about that house was the central forced air and refrigeration...

I lived in a house that had that very double oven for 12 years. Both ovens were excellent. I had the owner's manual at one time, and I may still have it. I am not at home right now, but will be back May 20.

Another way to look at this question is by looking at the words "COLDER" and "WARMER" above the dial. I can see a "3" to the right of the "2" on the dial. If you put your finger on the dial, and move your finger against the dial to "COLDER," the "3" will be at the bottom, and if you continue to...

That is an impressive pie!

My mother lived for a short time without electricity for lighting, and she had kept two kerosene lamps that she had used when she was a young woman. When the electricity would go out, she would light one of them-- and sometimes she would do it just for fun to show us kids the shadows they can...

Ralph, I think it was the old baking powder. I have used this test when baking powder gets near the expiration date: To test if baking powder is still active, spoon 1/2 teaspoon in a bowl and pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of boiling water over it. Right away it should bubble up violently. If it does...

Thanks, Kevin. Of course, SC means self-cleaning! Maybe I need more coffee.
