"Vintage" Fun - and Learning Something New

 Hello all - hope this finds you all well.  I have missed seeing some of our regulars again lately.  I sure hope they check in soon. 

It is a wet morning here, which is much needed.  66*F this morning.  Looks to be going to cool down some after today, then back up next week.  Yesterday was absolutely beautiful.  It was a great day to be outside.  I had my windows open all day yesterday.

I have seen all the reports of the rains other areas are getting and it is horrid.  I have seen reports from homes washing away in CO, news from AZ flooding, and now FL - I saw a FB friend post yesterday that her house, yard, stables and everything is flooded (in FL) and that they were trying to help their animals.  It is all so very sad.  I hope none of you are experiencing any problems.  Prayers for all involved.

I came across these little charts of vintage kitchen phrases and measures and thought they were so fun.  I have heard and even said many - but there are some new ones even to me.

There are some new ones on this chart for sure.  Have you heard of all of them?

Now I have heard of smidgen, pinch and dash - but never of hogshead, firkin or gill!!!  There are some funny ones to me.  Maybe some are foreign, I am not sure - but I like seeing these things.

Yes daddy - I learned something today!!!!!

Now this was listed as things our Grannies and Mommas always did to watch their dollars - they said no one does these anymore.  I do!!!

#6 - not really since it is just me.  But I do buy extra when they deal is right.

#27 - nope.  I keep my computer, and tv's plugged in.  Small appliances I do unplug unless needed

#29 - I am not the best at this.  Not that I buy a lot - but I don't always follow this rule

#4 - don't drink coffee (can be a huge savings from what I hear)

I pretty much do or have done the rest at some point.

I don't see it as old fashioned, just good old common sense.

What say you?  Are these all known to you?

I find things like this just fun, and they make you wonder where they came up with the phrases or words!

Wishing you all a super day.

Go out and chat, smile and be kind.

My daily thankful:  I am so thankful for my Lord and Savior and my faith, both sustain me.  I am thankful to know He carries me and holds me sweetly and lovingly.
