This dishwasher, which someone on CL nearby was selling, was branded American Kitchens, a cabinet and faucet manufacturer that was worried when home appliances became popular that dishwashers and other gear would take space and profits from their cabinet, sink, and faucet lines. (GE also was in the cabinet business around this time). The front door of this dishwasher matched the look of their cabinetry, kind of like new dishwashers that accept cabinet panels, except that the cabinet panel was already included (and wasn't flat - the top drawer jutted out considerably) AK knew nothing of how to make dishwashers though, so the design was contracted out to a company called D&M (Design & Manufacturing) which also made dishwashers for other companies like Caloric that only made cooking appliances or refrigerators and suddenly needed a dishwasher in their lineup when they became popular, and wound up selling their wares under numerous brands. The top rack is ingenious - it's round, and the plates and glasses as usual leaned against the tines. This allowed you to rotate the rack as you were loading or unloading it so you wouldn't have to lean over an reach across to the other side (I have chronic back pain and notice these things). What's more, the water splashed around by the impeller hit the leaning plates in the rack and caused it to slowly rotate by itself as the machine was running, ensuring that everything on the top rack got equally clean. D&M was still around well into the '80s at least, but industry consolidation meant that after that most appliance companies by then had their own in-house dishwasher manufacturing and didn't need D&M anymore. Here's a Youtube vid of this machine in operation (skip to 4:15) or so. http://youtu.be/7y7pNltKkwg

Pineapple sandwiches. I just can't wrap my brain around that. I would likely have thrown them out also. I think scrapple and SPAM were developed with the same thing in mind...using up scraps of meat. But scrapple is made with corn meal and a variety of spices while SPAM is primarily meat, with a lot of salt, a little sugar and various preservatives. Thrifty housewives the world over have come up with ways to use scraps of meat, combining them with starches of one type or another to stretch a little meat into a meal for a hungry family. Every culture where meat is consumed for example, has some form of meatball, vegetable stuffed with some combination of meat scraps & starch, and some form of sandwich involving meat wrapped in bread of some sort or at least starch of some kind.

So many good responses. I agree with so much already said. Vampiressrn comment that "I think there is a lot of gray area here" is very much to the point. If I tell a poster that I also have a bed in the corner, and I link to my blog photo, and the blog has an advertisement for smelling salts, one person might feel that it's a ploy for smelling salts sales, and one might just see it as a helpful link. Given that, I don't think most of us are patrolling for spam, or getting all up in it over posts with links or blog links. When other posters start labeling something as "spam" it usually is. And if I have a website called Redbazel and you click on it, that's on you. Doesn't mean my posting with the same screen name I've used for 10 years is spam. If I post that I HAVE a website, and you email me to ask about it, that is also on you. Doesn't mean I tried to dredge up hits to my website. Now, I'm glad that the votes thing got brought up. While I don't think anyone here had any bad motives when they asked for ugliest kitty votes, or pinkest cheek votes or dancing with penguin votes, I don't really think the decorating forum is the place for this. If you want to call your friends and solicit votes, I guess that's ok. But I really think that votes should also be based on real feelings. So if I click on the "Vote for MY recliner!!" thread and I find that Magnaverde's recliner is in a Glen plaid and I truly love some anonymous recliner in gray velvet, it's annoying to see all the votes go to MV just because he happens to be an outstanding GW poster instead of to the anon. owner of the very pretty gray velvet. It skews the voting process. If it's popularity votes you want, My vote is for MV. If we are Really voting for nice recliners, I'm going to check the box next to the velvet with the feather headrest and the built-in remote. Red **No blogs, so don't hunt for them!!
