Retro Hair Dryers

Nowadays, hair dryers are common household appliances, but in the old days they didn’t exist and housewives had to make do with jury rigged retro toasters and vacuum cleaners! These devices did work, but were probably more trouble than they were worth to set up. They consisted of a old fashioned vacuum cleaner attached to a wooden box with an old fashioned toaster inside. These early toasters had their heating elements exposed, so they were similar to a space heater without the grill. Bread was placed on the frame and toasted. This provided the heat.

Air blew out of the Vacuum cleaner exhaust and into the heated box (which would have been a fire hazard save for the copious use of asbestos!). The air left the toaster / box contraption was heated and passed through another cloth tube which was used to dry one’s hair. Although detailed instructions were given in 1921, one questions whether anyone actually bothered to set up this device. Due to its complexity, one would imagine that by the time it was complete, one’s hair would already be completely dry!

The Blue King Crab is Often Sold As the Red Crab

The blue king crab is also used and served in Alaskan King Crab Legs meals. Many do not know the difference when given this meat, as it also changes colour, and turns golden-orange. Though consumers and patrons should know the difference, because taste wise it does not have the full appeal as the red Alaskan king crab. The blue crab can be found in Alaska, near St. Matthews Island and also by the Pribilof Islands. In terms of size they are the largest blue crabs found anywhere in the world. Because the Alaskan King Crab Legs are so popular and the demand usually cannot be filled, the blue king crab is often sold as the red crab. If you happen to see this crab alive, note that the blue Alaskan king crab is brown with royal blue highlights. Fishermen also sojourn to St. Lawrence Islands, the coasts of Alaska, and into the Bering Strait to find this crab.

Starting a New Catering Company

I am about to start my own catering company. It is going to be my wife, son and myself. My wife and I are both really good cooks so I think we should be successful. I have saved some money to use as capital but I found out catering supplies are very expensive. Like the stainless steel warming pans are really expensive. I think I will try to find some good looking used stainless steel warming pans to save some serious money. I also need to buy all kinds of plates and tableware. It is starting to get a little overwhelming. I really do not want to go into debt to start my business. I do not like the risk involved in case something goes wrong. I do not want to work just pay off interest on a small business loan. Maybe I will just save some more money so I can buy everything I need with cash.

So Glad We Don't Do That

I never realized I liked to cook as much as I do. I used to always order out for pizza or Chinese, or I would just go out with friends at lunch or dinner time. When I started dating the man who would become my husband, he was shocked at how little I could do in the kitchen. We had a lot of fun as he showed me the different things we could make together, and they were all so easy and good too. One of his first gifts to me was a Breville hand mixer because he wanted to teach me how to make homemade soup next and this would come in handy for that. We always joke that I accepted his proposal because I loved his food, but the truth is that it is just a really nice bonus. I would love him even if we ate peanut butter sandwiches every day, but I am so glad that we don’t have to do that!
