Thanks to Verity Credit Union's blog (in Washington), I got a great tip on a tip filled blog - "Things Your Grandmother Knew." Here is the background on the site from the author: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.Each post is a blast from the past - culled from the pages of old magazines. Charming, nostalgic and fun to read. Oh and most are actuallSome of my favorite: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.
- Vintage cake recipes
- Common Terms Used In Cooking
- Proper care of books
- How To Hang Pictures On Plaster Walls Without Chipping Plaster (hey, I live in an old house...)
- Thirteen Uses For Bacon Grease
- Thrifty 1940's Kitchen Tips From Farmer's Wives
