Going to try both of your recipes. I've always made my apple pies the traditional way with raw apples. And my crust has always been the Crisco go to. Do you think the oil crust would work with Canola oil? Thanks for the detailed recipes.

Such kind words! Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words. I'm really humbled and delighted that others might enjoy my appreciation for yesteryear's style. I found you all when I went to buy my KDS 16 on craigslist and needed advice on how to maintain her. From there I sought advice on...

more cookies Here's yesterdays batches. Today is the big cooking day: twice baked potatoes, sweet potato casserole, Chocolate cream pies, fresh cranberry sauce, one of those mid century jello salads with the pretzel crust and strawberries, toffee cracker candy, Polish mushrooms.I'll put the...

Thanks! Lawrence, my daughter painted me those pictures. She did my 1910 Singer treadle sewing machine as well that I have hanging in my sewing room. I love them. Oh, I missed the tennis ball on the floor. My pup chases that thing around all day long. :)

I’d love to see pics of everyone’s holiday kitchens at work. Here’s a few of mine. The red dinette table was my Christmas present this year. All the cookies here were made using these old appliances. Merry Christmas to all. 😊

Wow! Just admiring your beautiful stove!!! Is that the original color? It's fabulous!

Hi Roger! "Beulah" is still getting quite the workout every single day. So thankful that you passed her on to us. Here is a picture of her canning with me from a few weeks ago. And another of her holding court in her kitchen. She is getting quite the workout from my canning and cooking my...

Hotpoint dishwasher The Hotpoint dishwasher came with the house. I don't know how old it is or how good it is but it must be newer because the black panel is plastic. I will probably be removing it because we have 1200 gallon water tank and need to have water hauled in. No city water or well. I...

1969 sounds about right Thank you, Lawrence. I saw a nearly identical 30" P7 listed in the Shoppers Square in Chicago labeled by the seller as a 1969 model. It was white. Funny thing is that my very 1st stove in our 1st house was a harvest gold Frigidaire Thrifty 30 that was a hand-me-down from...

I haven't posted here in awhile but I am here often reading and learning. A few weeks ago we bought a little 1951 cottage in the woods. I have been restoring the floors and undoing some unfortunate 70s "updates" but the yellow flowered paneled wall in the kitchen has grown on me. The 6th picture...

thank you, CircleW Thank you, CircleW, for the info on the pinks. I wondered when Hotpoint and GE merged. I actually used to have a pink 1957 GE combo fridge but the pink was pretty faded. Almost beige-d out. And the range and fridge were across the kitchen from each other so I never had them...

Gotta See the rest of the kitchen!! Oh, my goodness, can't help with the dishwasher except to admire its loveliness. Just beautiful! But now we have to see the rest of the kitchen! The steal cabinets, turquoise appliances, VCT flooring. Just amazing. Also, what did you use to paint the front...

Ceramifix and Porc-a-fix Thank you, sfh074, for the Ceramifix link. I am ordering it right now. A few comments mentioned it matched 50s/60s pink stoves pretty close. Has anyone heard of the Porc-a-fix product? It is some type of epoxy paint. They claim to be able to make any shade to match old...

Please, pretty pretty please help me! I was just getting down some spices from the cupboard next to my 1956 pink Hotpoint Supermatic range when a jar fell down and took a chunk out of the porcelain on the range top. I am devastated! Please tell me there is some way to fix this. The wound is...

A new compressor? Can I get that? Ken, I am intrigued by your idea! How would I go about getting that done? Does it need to be a compressor from the same era? Or could a new compressor available locally be retrofitted to it? How much would parts and labor be on that? Thanks for the idea. :)

No separate freezer control up front :( I was so excited to think there might be that separate control but, alas, there isn't one....in front anyway. :( I need to get someone strong to pull it out for me so I can check behind it. Perhaps it's there? I know that's probably false hope but I need...

how would I know... if it were the thermostat? It is not running constantly and does not make any more noise than it's usual purr. It cycles on and off as usual. Temp now is 32 in fridge and 19 in freezer. I am hoping against hope that it can be fixed. Can I get the thermostat fixed or...

what is the sealed system? I'm sorry for my ignorance but by 'sealed system' you don't mean the rubber gasket on the door, right? Can you give me a little more detail? Thanks, goatfarmer. :)

I haven't been on here in awhile as life is crazy busy but miss all the help here. I got my Hotpoint combo fridge about 2 years ago off CL and has given me no problems til now. I looooove his fridge and desperately want to keep it running. A few weeks ago ice cream was squishy, freezer temp at...

Dixie for Norgeway http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/atq/5262251571.html This one's a beauty. If only the husband would allow a vintage gas range.... (sorry, don't know how to post just the photos) http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/atq/5262251571.html
