Remember those tv shows where they showed the moms so lovingly cooking and baking for their families? Dressed up with their pearls and lace aprons and high heels?
Well guess what that is not me! LOL
Times have definitely changed.
Back then you hardly ever heard of box cakes. Everything was from scratch (at least at my house).
Do you remember salt coming in a bag instead of a canister?

Milk came in glass bottles left on your porch in your milk box. I don't remember the milk man but do remember the bread man and the occasional butcher.
Even peanut butter in a tin instead of a jar! That is before my time.
Well, since I got all this stuff out I guess I need to actually bake something! Now where is the on button to my oven?
This might take awhile, so until then stop by:

Hi! I´m the kind of housewife who knows one good recipe and uses it all the time. A fast sponge cake with cinnamon. Everyone in our household loves it. Do they want something else, they have to go to the supermarket or the bakery... And I don´t use pearls and definetly not high-heels...;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures

I like having old things like that, but I don't actually bake anything.
ReplyDeleteI have several cookboks that I like fingering through. I still thoroughly enjoy cooking and especially baking. The older I get, the more I love the baking better. *wink* Something about the many different way to present chocolate. Hugs. Tammy
ReplyDeleteHi Terry, That looks like a Leave it to Beaver commercial or Ozzie and Harriet! Love those old pic's, nice post! Hugs Marilou
ReplyDeleteI can not imagine dressing like that to cook!!!! But....I can imagine using all those wonderful vintage goodies in the kitchen!! Great post!! Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! How perfect too with our beloved Barbara and her pearls! The only time I wear jewelry in the kitchen is right after Church on Sunday afternoon for the very start of lunch! If I get home and run in the kitchen, I can have the bread out, the deli meat out, and have some sandwiches put together in about 5 minutes! No home cooking here either! Perhaps a few box mixes at Christmas and a frozen pie or 2 during the year, but if it doesn't come with directions and in a box, it doesn't get made!
ReplyDeleteHere's to the happy cook who loves her kitchen and cooking so much, she's comfortable in Pearls and Lace!
Thanks so much for joining me this week!
Blessings, Doni

ReplyDeleteI don't wear a dress and pearls only to church but I do put on an apron. Love your old things and I too grew up with the cooking from scratch recipes...still my favorite way to cook, bake and what my family prefers to eat. Thanks for sharing...come and say hi.
ReplyDeleteYour vintage baking items are wonderful ~ I don't remember Salt in a bag (yet the celtic salt I buy now, comes in a heavy plastic bag) Loved the TV shows with the Moms from the 50's-60's with Aprons & Pearls, Perfect Post....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of vintage goodies. I love to bake, but I don't indulge much anymore.
