George Foreman Grill

I must say I am very disappointed in the George Foreman Grill. My husband cooked hamburgers for himself on it and he said they came out too greasy. When I went to clean it up there was a huge amount of grease congealed on it which meant that the grease wasn't running off like we expected. Also, it was hard to get it clean because it cannot be put in the sink to soak. I used a lot of paper towels because I didn't want to mess up my good dishcloths. I'm glad he got it on sale and didn't pay full price for it. Next time we'll have to prop up the back legs to allow for more drainage.

Her Ten Commandments

These are the new commandments ten
Which wives now make for married men

I. Remember that I am thy wife,
Whom thou must cherish all thy life.
II. Thou shalt not stay out late at night
When lodges, friends or clubs invite.
III. Thou shalt not smoke indoor or out,
Or chew tobacco round about.
IV. Thou shalt with praise receive my pies,
Nor pastry made by me despise.
V. My mother thou shalt strive to please,
And let her live with us in ease.
VI. Remember 'tis thy duty clear
To dress me well throughout the year.
VII. Thou shalt not be a drinking man,
But live on prohibition plan.
VIII. Thou shalt in manner mild and meek
Give me thy wages every week.
IX. Thou shalt not flirt, but must allow
Thy wife such freedom anyhow.
X. Thou shalt get up when baby cries,
And try the child to tranquilize.

These my commands from day to day
Implicitly thou shalt obey.
Depression Era Recipes

"It is as important for modern children to distinguish nourishing foods from junk foods in a store as it was for frontier children to distinguish between edible and poisonous berries in the wilderness."
