Link Round-Up: Old Recipes, Thoughts About Food & Bargains

Posted by Deanna Dahlsad

Professor Walter's Recipes of Yesteryear: Vintage recipes from a century ago. Long before refrigerators and electric stoves these recipes tell not only how we ate, but how we lived.

FYI, Top Ten Deals of the Week for May 17th (keep updated on these deals here).

And a thoughtful post from Liberating Home Economics on food production and industrialization.

The Wife said...: Professor Walter also likes old ads that parents and grandparents grew up with. http://www.geriadtric.com/ The latest? When your child gets cut while playing with razor blades, be sure to use Band-Aids! lol

Thanks for mentioning Professor Walter. He appreciates his readers. :); May 18, 2011 at 1:18 PM

About This Blog

Some of the best kitchen and household tips were published during World War II when recycling & rationing was vital not only for the nation's economy, but necessary for the survival of each family.

Some of these tips were handed-down from grandma, but were often they were dismissed as cute anecdotes, stories of 'hard times and hard work' which were not necessary in times of prosperity and a plethora of modern conveniences.

As a result, many of these kitchen and household tips have been lost to history -- unless you collect vintage magazines.

There, in the yellowing brittle pages, you'll find a slew of household tips that are amazingly still practical today.
