VINTAGE THINGY


I am linking to http://www.coloradolady.blogspot.com for her Vintage Thursday. These are old egg beaters. The one on the right was my mothers. When I was a child she used this, even though she had a wonderful big mixer on a stand. To me it was like magic to watch her make fluffy cloud looking meringue out of slimy raw egg whites.Of course then I did not realize how much work was involved!The one on the left was my grandmothers, I never saw her use it- her main dessert was pound cakes. She made the best pound cakes- I should have showed you her pound cake pan-it is old and dented, but I still use it!

Oh those pound cakes. I miss my grandma's. Maybe if I start using some of my vintage kitchen gadgets mine will taste like theirs!

Those are really neat looking. If I saw them in a shop I'm not sure I would have known what they were.

My mother never had an electric mixer. She used things and was the best cook ever.

I have the one on the left, I never knew it was a egg beater. Things you learn while Blogging.

These are really neat. my grandma made the BEST pies with fluffy topping. I wonder if she had one of these, I don't remember ever seeing one! Great post. Happy VTT!

Very charming. My grandmother just passed away and the one thing I wanted was her old dented measuring cup that we always made divinity with. It's in my cupboard. That generation knew how to bake, didn't they?
