CEE’S BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO CHALLENGE – In the Kitchen

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge

Then

The feature image is included in this gallery as well. I’ve provided you with some then (back in the day) and now kitchen item. These items from yesteryear are on display in the Fort Christmas, Florida museum. The thing is, many of these items were in my grandmother’s kitchen and still in use in the 70’s when I was a kid. She did have a gas stove as far as I can remember, but her old stove was in the smokehouse out back out of commission. My grandmother was a big canner. She canned all kinds of vegetables from their 1 acre garden to get them through the winter.

An old wood burning stove with enamel cookware.

Many kitchens had a baking station with wooden rolling pins & a pastry cutter.

Canning was a means of survival back in the day. I can Strawberry Freezer Jam every year.

Of course I have a bird toothpick holder! Would you expect anything less? You may be wondering why my engraved cutting board has a big “G”. It’s because Frank’s last name is Good. I never changed my last name when we got married. We are coming up on our 4th wedding anniversary as you can see. The other photos is my bowl of onions and our grains & nuts in the background.
