Authentic 'Tea Cakes' from 60s-70s recipe?
Comments (92)My mother would buy the square Tea Cake from Amy's Bakery in Montebello, CA since I can remember. They still sell them. You can see the image of it on their website. Take the 60 fwy, exit Wilcox or Garfield Ave. Go south to Beverly Blvd. and Amy's Bakery is on the NW corner of Wilcox & Beverly. Make sure to grab a number as soon as you enter. Once when I worked in Lancaster, CA a rep came in and dropped off a pink box of little pink & yellow tea cakes in our lounge. I knew exactly what they were but no one else did but the box did not have a bakery name on it. They went for the other box of pastries and needless to say by the time the day was over I had eaten the entire box! (good for me) :) Last time I bought a tea cake from Amy's (in the 80's) I ate the whole cake before we got it home. (with my bare hands) No, I don't do that kind of stuff! It surprised me too! Yes, these cakes are that good. The cake from Amy's Bakery is like a 9x9 and has the light brown colored glaze/frosting on it. In my opinion, it's the best....See MoreAnyone remember my cane chairs? In another room now....
Comments (33)The chairs are incredible, you lucky bum! (an expression from my childhood, not to mean disrespect) Just yesterday when reno posted the pic of the blue and white lamp with the black shade, 'chijim' and I had been discussing the SAME THING! I have some blue and white lamps, but in my current decor, the white shades just seem too stark. I'd like to maybe use the lamps to lighten up my look a bit for spring and summer and knew if ANYONE had a pic of a blue and white lamps with a colored shade, he would. From his extensive inventory of photos - So, reno - You GO, girl! You've gone black; no need to go back!...See More70's ranch style houses
Comments (36)Binsd--The Ranch Style lives! Love this thread because I too am the proud(?) owner as of last Feb of a 1960s ranch home. I got all the cool stuff from the 60s and 70s: avocado appliances, gold flocked wallpaper, pink tile, gold colored accents. Oh yeah! Immediately took the house down to the studs to turn it into a Modern Farmhouse. I took inspiration from these: Walker-Warner Sonoma Farmhouse (http://www.walker-warner.com/indexf.html#POR-GRC-001) Christine Lane, Boston, MA (http://christinelaneinteriors.com/) I think ranchers are particularly suited to blend styles. They were a bit funky then and they can still be. Yet, if you want to lean slightly more traditional, they can sustain the transitional. I think they are way more flexible than many styles. Your home in particular has some good bones! The raised ceilings and open one-story floorplan are great for toddlers since you can see them from most rooms. If you can mix some of your Spanish furniture with some more contemporary pieces, I think it will have that California Spanish casual style--with a cleaner look. Love it! In the green bathroom, take out the brass and replace with frameless glass. It will immediately look more contemporary. A glass company should be able to make the shower enclosure (this one's traditional, but you get the picture): From Misc photos If you want to embrace the modern look, peruse: Atomic Ranch (http://www.atomic-ranch.com/). I think they have more Eichlers than Ranch, but it gives you an idea of that style. Here's my old house and the old stuff that was in it, then here are two exterior shots of what it looks like now: From Menlo Farmhouse From Menlo Farmhouse From Menlo Farmhouse From Menlo Farmhouse From Menlo Farmhouse I wish I could cite all of the great pics I have seen in magazines where they have remodeled a ranch. Each had their own flavor: slightly more modern, slightly less modern, more funky, somewhat traditional, etc. Search: mid-century, modern, ranch home. Have fun! I think your house is a great choice!!...See MoreLooking for 70's vintage recipe - seafood casserole
Comments (5)haha, : ) A family recipe we no longer make from my grandmothers kitchen seems similar. (i grew up on the EasternShore) A stick of butter melted slow, add 2 tbsp flour and stir with a fork until slightly golden, like a NewOrleans rouge. But not dark. It makes a paste, then add two cups of whole milk. Stir and heat on very low. In another pan saute a big chopped onion and a few ribs of diced celery to soften. Probably parsley and green onion and some spice like OldBay and/or paprika, Mustard powder. A dash of worcestershire. Bash a whole sleeve of saltines and place in the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with seafood on hand. (chunks of fish, oysters, crab meat, shrimp). Top with the onion saute mix and pour over the 'gravy' and bake at 350 for an hour. Crazy and weird but was so good. At about 45 min it starts to bubble and makes a bit of a crust on top. My grandfather had a big fishing boat and we caught crabs off the backyard dock with a chicken leg tied to a string so the seafood was whatever we caught that day. Seafood is much more expensive now. Trying to get some of these old recipes is like pulling teeth. My x-BIL makes, did make, a killer oyster dressing and it uses that same recipe but just oysters. He did not use soup mix but the cracker sleeve was a bit embarrassing for some reason. I just used my own home baked bread cubes/crumbs. We don't use cheese but i can see how it can have a cheese taste with the mustard and spices. And the thickish 'gravy'. Very rich. I made a small casserole for thanksgiving with a pint of oysters. Love it once a year. So rich. Without a recipe i had to guess and create my own but it turned out spot-on. A recipe for crab imperial might be similar?...See Moreeileenlaunonen
