Any reason you couldn’t post any of it?

I remember it all too.

Gee, those were great days. So civilized. We did live pretty high on the hog...my dad was a huge success, so when the average house cost $5,000 to 10,000, ours was $35,000. In todays money, my dad would have made $625,000 per year. No big deal, there were far wealthier people in the ‘hood and we all did exactly the same thing less well-off people did. Saturday afternoon movies, watched TV in black and white on those round screens, etc, etc.

Be sure to look up “Revolting Recipes of the 1950s”.

A friend suggested that America’s five food items at the start of the decade were meat, fat, flour, salt and sugar. But soon they had gelatin, hot dogs, tuna fish, liver pate, pineapple and standardized A&P chicken.

Their cooking containers were loaf and casserole pans, jello molds and a skillet.

It was a good take on the 50’s but missed on the growth of the suburbs,
