Finally got around to getting my weight loss tracker page up to date… Since August 2009 I’ve tried a couple of times to lose 100 lbs in a year and have started off successfully but as anyone knows, who tries to lose weight, it ain’t easy. But at the moment I am VERY VERY motivated [...]

On the 1940s Experiment’s Facebook page earlier today, Mary Duncan said “Have you seen this little gem from 1941?”…. Well I hadn’t, and it IS a gem! Just listen to the voices…. quite wonderful! Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks Mary!

The Home Front Kitchen Radio Show

Mock Goose

This is a WEIRD recipe…  even with my eyes shut, this didn’t taste anything like goose BUT there is one element that could possibly, with some great imagination, remind you of eating stuffed goose.

Weekly weigh in

I’ll give you my update based on my scales at home as I’ve always done on my 1940s Experiment blog… it’s getting confusing though as I also weigh at work, fully clothed, wearing shoes, on Doctor’s scales and the difference in the readings are about 12 lbs! Anyway… the good news for me is that [...]

Eggless Fruit Cake

I made meatloaf last week and it looked like fruitcake… Yesterday I made fruitcake and it looked like meatloaf! Go figure! Despite it looking like meatloaf this was an excellent 1940s recipe… moist and tasty and comforting and more-ish!
