Truly. Don't want them . . . I want to freeze and store and bake and eat from glass or china. My 8 yr old granddaughter told me today "that's different, Nana" when I remarked that I loved that 1/2 gallon pickle jar. lolNancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-49998323238884547472011-05-30T14:26:07.115-04:002011-05-30T14:26:07.115-04:00That's a neat idea for a hanging rack, Brighid...That's a neat idea for a hanging rack, Brighid. We have an old flapjack turner with a long metal handle; I've often wondered who used it. We got it at a roadside yard sale in northern Virginia near Winchester. Not rugged country, but a long history of settlement there.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-13952255266013785602011-05-29T00:36:24.189-04:002011-05-29T00:36:24.189-04:00My little hand mixer and old flour sifter are amou...My little hand mixer and old flour sifter are amoung my favorites.

Back ...I think we're birds of a feather, Nance. Back then people really cooked a lot and did a lot by hand so the tools reflected those realities. I've been learning a lot about Fire King and Pyrex lately. And buying some to use too. I find that I prefer baking in glass.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-43135312092692868972011-05-27T23:23:04.268-04:002011-05-27T23:23:04.268-04:00I love kitchen tools.

My Gramma was finally able to buy some new things (she didn't have the means in the 30s) so I really, really like the 40s and 50s Fireking and the alum and tin kitchen utensils, the ice blue glass, the painted handles and the enamel pans. I do enjoy your posts.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526258792227541799noreply@blogger.com
