This Is My “Summer Kitchen”
All the farms around here, Northwest Minnesota, had summer kitchens The idea was to keep the house cooler in the summertime as those wood burning stoves got the house too warm for comfort, hence the term summer kitchen. They cooked, canned, and so much more. It was a practical and necessary building, This is to honor our nostalgic past

Dishmaster Faucet That We Recently Had Installed In Our Restored 1950 Kitchen. Originally Designed In 1948, A Dishmaster Is Much "More Than Just A Faucet"
With an attached wand that dispenses hot, soapy water at the touch of a button, it's essentially a hand-held dishwasher...that makes cleaning easier and more efficient (and enjoyable) than ever!
While our model is brand-new, it's an exact replica of the company's classic Dishmaster Imperial M-59, with a faceplate that's been reproduced according to the exact specifications of the original (recently re-discovered) 1959 tooling.
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the Dishmaster factory in Mitchell, Indiana—where the owner graciously gave me an impromptu tour. To my astonishment, I discovered that—far from being some vast impersonal corporate entity—Dishmaster is a deeply personal family business, run entirely by Roger & his son Chris as a 2-man operation...they do it all! Just as it was way back in 1948, this ingenious invention continues to be crafted with pride each day in small-town middle America (with the sole exception of a single part that has to be outsourced).
From the very beginning, these were always considered something of a post-war luxury (the cost in 1950 was the equivalent of $660 today)—but not only can you get yours today for significantly less (even when loaded with all the extra "bells & whistles" available), you can invest in something that will simultaneously make your daily life a little easier and help keep this family-run American company in business for generations to come! Look closely—and you just might see a Dishmaster in your future

Anchor Hocking Fire-King splash-proof tulip mixing bowls. I don't think I've ever seen a set in such perfect condition. I've heard there are salt and pepper shakers, but I've never seen them in real life. The shakers were sometimes sold with a matching lidded grease jar in a grouping called a "Range Set."
