Eating in the Fifties

The hairbrush I remember that .I don't remember what I did but my mom paddled my *** with the wooden spoon I was so mad I broke all the other spoons in the drawer .
She got the hair brush learned my lesson .
At our table no phones and we don't answer them during dinner I've got good kids it how you raise them ..
 
My favorite dessert back then was Junket Rennet Custard.
 
Candy ? Good & Plenty. Choo-choo Charlie was an engineer. Charlie says, love my good & plenty. (I could cite that whole commercial from decades ago, yet I have to think what I ate the other day)

My dad used a hair brush or his belt. I remember throwing that brush away. The belt wasn't as easy to get rid of.
 
My mom would use a rubber ball paddle or a yardstick. Then when my dad got home and heard about it I got it again from him, by hand.

You really had to do something bad for my dad to get into the spanking my mom laid the law down if the sherif came looking you hid .
 
Sooo......sorry for high jacking this thread! Back to food, I recall eating large amounts chili con carne....you?
 
I ate at a resturant over in Lincoln Montana 5 years ago that was still using the gease from back in the 50s. Couldnt keep the glass from sliding of the table .
 
My grandfather raised chickens to sell eggs, the eggs, I used to candle them for any abstracts on the inside of the egg, the ones that had defiences in them were kept for our own, use if they weren't so bad. the better ones went for sale to the public. when I was done with the candling I would put the dozes of eggs right next to the many loaves of fresh homemade bread. Not all of that made it to market I'll tell ya. He also had a huge potato field that we picked the potatoes and took them with the tractor and trailor to the hospital to sell, he must of made arrangements before hand to do that. I was quite young at the time. The potato bags were 100 pounders, to big for me to handle. That was much simpler times and I would go back to that way of living in a heart beat. Most every time my grandparents went to town we would take the tractor for a joy ride around the fields. Wow, that was fun,,, right up until every body comes home early. (good times ) Preachr.
 
My shop fridge is an old-school 50s era Amana. I have to defrost it every 3 months or so
It quite possibly consumes ten times the electricity that a modern equivalent does also. Just saying. :)
