The Gold Standard

By brspiritus on | From vintagerecipeblog.com

14 hour housewives of 8 hour men need Gold Dust to get them through their work. Man, it's not easy being a housewife. Washing, cooking, laundry all would have been done by hand back then and taken a rather large amount of time to complete. I should know since I lived in the Philippines for 3 years and did my laundry by hand along with helping my wife clean the house. Eventually we hired a maid for the princely sum of $30/month which is what many people back in the early 1900's did as well...Read Full Story

It's about 7.30 am and I'm half awake with a headache.

It's time for another Spry Ad! Actually I don't think I ever had one to post before since I have a hard time finding them. I can't really make fun of these ads too much because the Spry Cookbook has been so valuable in instructing me how to cook with shortening. Well that's a great thing since that's what it's original writers intended but for me it's different. Housewives of the 1930's were used to cooking with fats like shortening and lard but after so many years in the grips of the...Read Full Story
