Isn’t it funny how something as simple as a radio program can become so ingrained in our childhood memories? I do so wish we had some of those programs still around.

One of my fondest childhood memories of Granny’s house was the Kitchen Klatter program blaring from the radio in her kitchen. Granny’s cabinets were full of kitchen Klatter flavorings and I think those silver handled knives in my kitchen drawer were purchased from the Kitchen Klatter catalog by Granny, as a gift for my mother. I remember the way Evelyn would talk about her family as if she was sitting at Granny’s table with us, and I remember the way Granny talked about Evelyn, Leanna, and Lucille as if they were her dearest friends. I inherited Mother’s copy of the 70s Kitchen Klatter Cookbook, and take great joy in carrying on our Kitchen Klatter family tradition.

I think the soup nog with a “can” of milk may be the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard of. Birthday soup is just funny.

This was a great post — thanks for the laugh!

Wow – thank you, Debbie! I am so glad that you found my posts useful and that you are the proud owner of a new cracked ice table yourself! Do send some pictures when you get it set up, and I’ll admire it from afar.

Your lighting choice sounds heavenly. Your sputnik lamp will be the perfect complement to the table!

Thank you for reading and for commenting. I appreciate it!

Thank you for your in depth review and pictures of your dining table and chairs from American Chairs. I had been searching for a similar set but as you advise, it is better to purchase new. This way the customer can choose what they truly want in the size they need.
So many wonderful choices, high quality and better prices ! It was difficult to come to our final decision. However we did, are are waiting for delivery at this writing. Would have probably not found them if it wasn’t for your wonderful blog !
I also love love love your George Kovacs Bling lamp. Would have liked one of those as it matches perfectly with this decor ! However, we have opted to use a “sputnik” swag lamp as we have no electrical fixture above the dining table area to accept a hardwired lamp.

Thank you again. Your blog is the best !!!!!!!!

Comment on And the prairie burned . . . by Window On The Prairie

This looks a lot like the controlled burn I attended in the spring. It was a first for me, and I was blown away by the sight, sound, and heat. A really neat experience. You can see it here: http://windowontheprairie.com/2010/04/20/prairie-fire/

All my kitchen cabinets are metal from the 50s. At first I wanted to rip them out, but they’ve grown on me. I am considering painting them though, they really need it.

That was a nice choice it looks like the stars at night with that shine and the lights make it even better. I also like the granite countertops.
