I bet that refrigerator is still running.
You better go catch it then.
@@latinolawdog5067😂😂😂
We had the exact same stand mixer at the cottage, a Sunbeam, I scrapped it last year, and a similar fridge from the 1950's.... its time is near, scrap metal
Yeah and my new one is almost done after only 3 years.. worn seals, etc.😢
Appliances made between at least the 40's and 80's will outlive all of us lol. They are eternal.
I love the sound of the crackling in the film. Old films are the best.
I love those appliances! My favorite decade!
I envy these times. Carefree. The majority of the population could live off one income and have zero debt. My mother worked full time, but still managed to be home soon enough and prepare for 6p.m. dinner. She had weekends off and enjoyed baking breads and pies...so did I! Unfortunately, I have no spare time whatsover. Working 7 days a week, to pay for basics.
So do I. I would love a 1940's kitchen, though. Really, an entire vintage house. Not modern retro designed with the past in mind, but rather authentic everything from appliances to radiators from that era. ❤
@Angie-v4r, me too
Polio was awesome! My iron lung is sweet!
@@rachelgreen4510You don’t know what you’re talking about 🤣 The majority of the country didn’t live like Leave It To Beaver.
Sally is a keeper !!!
Sally works for the Soviets comrade.
A real Dish!

And Brian is an old creep
I was able to stay home for the 7 years of my marriage. I was able to work on my time management for meals and meal prepping. I always started my day with cleaning and dusting and so on. Add time to do my schooling, Bible study , ministry and getting dinner ready before my hubby came home.
Then I went back to work in 2000. It was hard at first to work and still do housework, Bible study and make sure dinner and meal prep was done. My grandma and mom helped me to pace myself and write things out what was needed.
Now 31 years later, I think I’m a pro just like grandma and mom was. ❤ . Thank you for the upload.
@lymarie1974 And THANK YOU ma'am for a life well served, sacrifced and lived. Your example of grace and service is remembered in the book of heaven. May your children arise and call you a BLESSING!!! Your legacy lives on well after you are gone.......
I hope you get time just for yourself too 🤍
What caused it to end?
Wait, so why is it fair to still be responsible for all cooking and cleaning when you worked also?
🤣
A decade after WWII this reflected the post war boom. American growth and industry was at its peak. Optimism flourished and you can feel it in these films. No more rationing, plentiful meat and produce, modern appliances. 👨👩👧👦
Produce wasn’t rationed during the war.
Then Carter really worsening everything years later.
@frankrizzo4460
No, that was the Repubs again. George W Bush.
@@terri6854 wow, you must really be asleep to the shenanigans of the deep state.
@@imame1433 Nixon wasn't as terrible as effing Jimmy Carter. And you can't even compare either of them to Reagan's administration 🤦♀️
I’ve never seen a plate shelf like that on the stove. That’s really cool.
I bought a rail hanging stainless dish drainer from ikea, hung it behind the stove, so I can warm plates.
@@nathanjustus6659Did you know that's what the drawer under the oven is for?
That's not for storage - it's a warming drawer. It's deep to fit any kind of food on just about any plate.
You've had a warmer all along!
I prefer to put the plates on the counter and have a pot/pan lid hanger above the stove. It keeps the counter area cleaner.
I raised my son alone as a single dad and ran my business from home. I loved being a stay at home dad, making daily meals and being my son’s best buddy. He’s in college now but I loved being a huge part of his life, we even slept in bunk beds until he was 10! Lol
Awwww 💕
That's awesome 🥰

Sounds gay
That's just gay
Clicked this for the 1950s society, stayed for the sexy appliances! I forget not only cars had style back then!
What an amazing woman, wife and mother! Proud, happy family! ❤
I enjoyed this blast from the past. This was real 50's and not a re-creation, not only with the simple food choices but the whole ambience including the clothing with the big headbows and the pearl necklaces. Things were really "perfect" back, and even if they weren't, they tried to make it seem this way.
That experience entirely depended on who you were.
women on pills like the song ‘mother’s little helper’, pretty sure my grandma was an alcoholic, yes people ‘seemed’ happier but that wasn’t always reality.
@juliabouzan1739 yeah, in these days "mother's little helper" is even worse than that
I was a teen in the 90s, but I was lucky enough to have a mother that was homemaker oriented. She taught me a lot of this firsthand, but I do wish I saw videos like this when I was an older teen or young adult. Common sense in the kitchen has been dying out.
Let's get married.
What happen the day the husband find a new woman? No money no house nothing
I LOVED the way homemakers were appreciated in these videos. They were pro! There was such honor and dignity in the women who gave it all for their families.
I respect the career woman too, but there's a special place in my heart for the homemaker. ❤
I never understood why they only wore half aprons. When you're cooking, you're more likely to get something on your shirt.
I love my half aprons!
Most of the work is done "low", on a table, the stove, etc. So the top half should be at least risk, unless you're splattering.
I did make a full apron in 8th grade in Home Ec class. That was in the mid 70s, and I still have it and use it. Depends on which one is in the laundry at the moment.
My great-grandma always wore an apron in the kitchen. If she needed to wipe her hands, she’d just use her apron. I suppose it saved a little bit on laundry if you didnt have many hand towels.
In case you don’t have a towel and you need to wipe your hands
@@kelf114I dislike half aprons for two reasons..One, I’m short and most issues are above my waist, and two, those issues do include splattering or bacon grease, etc popping.
@@darkshinexoLikely no paper towels then-
I'm not sure what I just watched.
It just popped up on auto play.
But as a Greek I can say..
it certainly was pro lamb with great recipes from my childhood.
Opa!!!
Don't have coitus with things you eat. Then you're Turkish.
That white enamel kitchen with the window over the sink and the large gas range bring back wonderful memories of my Mother's kichen! My Mom would have loved the lazy susan/rotating shelves inside the lower corner cabinet!
Lamb, the modern meat? That’s too funny, I’ve never been a lamb fan but your video makes it look delicious. Thank you for sharing Rebecca.
Lamb is delish. Give it a go. Simple lamb chops easy to make if you can find a good local source.
I love lamb, especially leg of lamb.
@frothe42 On Greek and Serbian culture especially bit in Serb culture it's pork and lamb second
I never could eat lamb, it has an odd sourness to me. Not gamey like deer or moose, just a different taste. These dishes look good though. Great video.
We eat lamburgers all the time. They're delicious if you mix a good seasoning into the meat before cooking.
MOM?! IS THAT YOU?
Oh mom I miss you so much. 💞

The character Sally Gasco also appears in the 1950 short Let's Make a Sandwich.

I'm pretty sure she also appears as Daughter/Sister in MST3K's "A Date with Your Family"
Nice catch! I'm a huge MST3K fan and I loved these types of clips the most. They should be in the Smithsonian. You're move.

Sally's a real trooper.
She really likes meat.
You used to be able to graduate high school, pick a random factory job as you walked around outside, and have Sally at home in a house raising a large family on your one income. We’ve been fucking robbed
You still can in some midwestern towns.
@@Psychiatricnerd please do share which ones! Will gladly move there from Canada
Trump trying to bring that back
I moved to Kansas a couple years ago and while it’s not an exciting area, I’ve never met so moms who stay home with their kids.
The baby boomers fvcked everything up. Theyre the worst generation and the bastards wont go away.
Meat loaf=1 lb Ground meat, 1 minced onion, bread crumbs, a little evaporated milk, and seasoning. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and shape into 4 rectangular loafs and bake. Add mozzarella cheese, my choice. Bake for 40 minutes.
Spaghetti sauce=meat, tomato, garlic, onion, and oregano. Simmer for 40 minutes.
I’m 65 - I remember these type of infomercials at the drive in. Even the music.
Y'all had a full 12 minute mini movie before your movies???
@ yep!
I love how the women are complimented on their "creativity," "skills," "technique," and "practice" - as homemakers! I have a really hard time with this job. It made me feel really good to see the skills appreciated.
Same😊
Somehow I think she is and is simply is doing dinner for the family to assist mom or to share her excellent home economics skills. ❤
The average age of Marriage for Women/Girls in the 1950''s was 17. So very different from contemporary society.
Yep, for sure!! Let's shack up. Marriage is "too complicated" (cop out for no commitment, no work, get out whenever I want to, etc., etc) no kids (me, myself and I) so I can live like I want to with no hassel, and a big dream career with lots of money and stuff!! Yep....MY WAY or the highway, baby!!

Back when you didn't get a wife already ran thru.
@@AmisH-q4h disgusting

Sally's a real Doll and as someone said in the comments below "a keeper"
The ideal wife! Young, thin, virgin homemaker with no debt!
@@kevinnorris6157No tattoos either. I married a Sally 36 years ago. Awesome girls. With this attitude and management it makes the whole family lift their standards.
@kevinnorris6157 🤣🤣 Love it! I met a young, thin, Marlboro red box cigarette smoker/jack and coke drinker at 16 and married her at 18! She definitely rocked! 42 years later, she still rocks! And man, can she cook!! 😍🤗 (not so thin anymore 🤓)
It's funny how lamb was such a kick then. I've never cared for it but my mom loves it and used to cook it all the time.
I am am Australian lamb producer. I believe lamb is a much more consistent meat than beef. It is difficult to judge quality beef but lamb is rarely not good. I believe it has more flavour. But I am a sheep man.
Women had it so good back then being the homemakers and nurturing ones, then the feminist movement came which pushed women out the home to provide like men, and there went the nuclear family down the drain. Modern women today are lonely, overworked and stressed all so they can say anything a man can do so can we… but why? The roles are set for a reason.
@@CurlyBoyChuck LOL
Exactly. Now the government collects more taxes from incomes.
Yes I agree
Looking at your profile picture, you'd probably be the victim of a hate crime in the 50s...curly boy chuck (sounds like a jail princess btw)
Totally AGREE!!! I work with professional women, and once they have babies, 90% hate returning to work. I'll take yesteryear in a quick second......
Quick meal AND dessert. What a homemaker! 🤗
Well, when both came in a can, that's not *that* difficult.
@@robforrester3727haha exactly! I was like well dang it was easier to be a stay at home mom in the 50s then now!
I swear appliances from 65 years ago were 10x FUNCTIONAL than now !!! No lie. WTF, happened to us as a society? We literally went backwards. I want that kitchen! 😒
Cheap crap made in China is what happened. Trump trying to fix it so manufacturing comes back to the US
❤I love all the old school videos!
The original title was Let's Make a Meal in 20 Minutes not How to Be a Housewife. It mentioned "mother" keeping cleaners in the cupboard, meaning Sally's mother. She is a teenager making dinner between a football game she just got home from and a movie she's going to after dinner.
She reheated leftovers pkg’d up
In a nuker it would have taken 1.5-2 min for her plate
@@courtneycaswell1628 Exactly!
I remember women always with a cigarette and being a Little bit more grouchy then men. Now i understand. Taking care of kids and the house is no easy task at all. She was underappreciated. She was a nurse, driver, referee, cook and on top of that a wife and a mom. A little vodka and some " i love lucy" helped her get through the day. Ty ladies.
@@mattmc5069 yes I think many were miserable and drank a lot or were addicted to prescription pills. My maternal grandma was. She was the quintessential 1950s housewife,
what do u think women do today?!
exactly we work and do all that also
@cgworldbesta2024 yes women still are underappreciated you all do so much
@@mattmc5069 thank you i honestly think we do a lot more life was way simpler then now it’s go go go
Beautiful kitchen. Costs you an arm and a couple of legs to get something like that these days. Solid wood, appliances that last for more than 5 years…
I wish I could time travel and just stay there!!!
Noooooo no no no no noooooooooo
Yes. The only missing is the insane Internet and social media. Perfecto. It ruined the world.
Yes
It amazes me how many people have rose colored glasses on for the ‘50’s
@@imame1433better than the crappy time we are in now. I would give up my right to vote to be a housewife
If there are any single women who have been inspired by this video, please contact me today. 😅
Me a 90s brat thinking it was a crime to use canned food for a meal😩 . Grandma grew up on a farm. Traditionally, I'm still going to make all the food from scratch for my husband when I get married. Trust me. It's for the best and he will get plenty to eat😄❤❤💖
Exactly. No canned food for my family. We aren’t perfect by any stretch but canned food just is not happening.
Believe me, our predecessors used LOTS of canned food.
They just canned it themselves.
Yeah, you can freeze, dehydrate, and can your own food so you know exactly what's in it (never any junk!). But as a woman 20+ years married, 15 of those without an office job, those convenience items are VERY helpful! Even if you do make them yourself. 😊
@@Psychiatricnerd Basically because of the fact, I rather grow it from the garden.
@@Jami-vm1zv I definitely believe you. I bet it was fresher than anything store brought.
As an Australian, Lamb is my for all time favourite to have for dinner! We say here ‘You just aren’t Australian if you don’t like Lamb’! Also we have an entire season we’re we all just eat and love lamb! Hajajaja
As am Australian lamb grower I endorse your comment completely. Lamb is a staple food group on its own. So is potato.
I'm a work from home Dad and am house bound (husband). I made teriyaki chicken and steamed rice last night. Yes, that's right, I had time for fancy sauce.
So sorry to hear about your modern day broken home.
@JerryCalvert-x9u how is it broken? my wife works for me and she drives the dump truck
Ciao and thank you for this great Video, personally i love all History and Vintage, so many greetings from brunswick in Germany and please stay safe 🙏❤️
My dad said he couldn’t tolerate lamb after eating it while serving it WWII.
Yo pappy said a heap of ignunt thangs
My dad was US Corps of Engineers under British command for a spell--that was MUTTON!
I know a lot of people may look at this and think it's pretty regressive and it perhaps is in the sense that Sally's brother Bobby was probably never expected to do this, but putting that aside the possibility of quick meals was pretty awesome for someone like Sally. She could spend a lot more time focused on school, or hobbies, or friends than might've been the case before.
I don’t keep cleaning supplies with my food 🤣🤣
AJAX *then* asparagus, I organize alphabetically
I caught that too!❤😂
If it’s all canned it’s fine
Just in case you have to poison the King Baby. Ooopsie! 🤣🤣🤣
No need to. It’s already in today’s food so you don’t have to add it.
I'm a 51 year-old trucker. Tryna' figure out why TH-cam recommended I watch this. But now I'm like, yeah man, if I was a housewife, I wouldn't have to run these routes anymore. Hmmm ...
Thank you ❤
Can you tell me where you found these? I've been looking for the original videos FOREVER
America needs this now more than ever
The history of industrial food processing, preserving, and packaging during WWII is actually quite fascinating. They got REALLY good at it. After the war was over, these companies had to use the infrastructure and technology developed during WWII and market their products to the public. SPAM is probably the most notable. But sooooooooo many family "old time" recipes came out of this era. It was all about, "a package of this and two cans of that." And as a kid from the 80s, i truly thought "real" mac and cheese came out of a blue box. Lol! And i think very few people today know what it's like to prepare and eat a real cured and aged Ham where you have to cut through a rind to get to the preserved meat below.
My wife and I bought a can of Spam a couple of months ago, just for the hell of it. Neither of us had eaten it since we were little kids. Anyways, we hated it! I don't know why we ever liked it. Oh well.
@KevinMaxwell-o3t The original is too salty for me. I go for the low sodium option. But yeah, I eat it only with eggs. I think spam and eggs is great. But I'm sure out in the middle of nowhere fighting a war in the bitter cold of winter, Spam was welcome to a hungry and cold soldier.
I would have been in so much love with Sally Gasco way back then but being born in 1964 would have made me way too early to even wish to have a relationship with her!
I can't help it but Sally Gasco was very beautiful back then and as she has grown older, there was a very lucky man that was in her life! I know beauty when I see it and Sally Gasco was very hot back then! 😊
chill
I was born in 1958 so I was raised how to make casseroles out of anything ,haha
I can make a skillet dish out of anything too
Or a soup
@@merrysmith3638 I know, my mom would never have wasted money on Hamburger Helper! Can of soup and noodles or rice can be prepared in lots of different ways and CHEAP
I have an emergency shelf!, But I have not seen lamb in my stores for 10 years!
Maybe it depends where you live? I live in FL and it's a perfectly normal thing to find year-round, although it's absolutely everywhere during Easter and Lent.
yeah it's probably different in every state, i live in ky, i barely see any lamb as well where i dont see much of bison meat either.
Lamb is in every store lol
Lamb holdouts everywhere despite BigBeef’s efforts to run them out. Why can’t we eat BOTH? I would love to afford lamb again. Even get ppl used to mutton & goat (too bad there’s no nice word for goat meat like venison, beef, poultry, veal…)
Ppl eat veal & beef they could learn to like lamb AND mutton
Venison might rule over all tho 😊
@@YeshuaKingMessiahLamb isn’t always easy to come by. It really depends where you are. I know of one store where you had to order ahead if you wanted a Lamb roast for Easter. I’ve never seen Mutton in a supermarket and I doubt you could even get it from most butchers.
LOVED the 50’s-best decade ever!!
LOVED our tutorials!!
The lamb was the star of this video😂😆🤣😂😆🤣
50's appliances were beautiful and built to last.
When my father walked in the door at 5:00 PM, he expected dinner to be on the table. And, if it wasn't all hell would break loose. Great times.
Please can I travel back in time
🍄🍄🍄
If they ever invent a time machine I'm setting it for 1946 and never coming back
Or just learn how to cook?
great! Thanks!
The stove is beautiful 😍
My over-scheduled brain can't process that rhe first one bothered with dessert when the whole purpose of the quick dinner was because of events scheduled before and after dinner. 😂😂
Dessert was mandatory at dinner for middle class for many families
No snacking tho
We didn’t have desserts but couple times a week and pop would go flat before getting finished. Chips & such too lol
We did always have fruit bowl on counter and juice for brkfst. My parents drank pots of straight black coffee too
Growing up in the 60's, my mother would cook mutton once a week. Mutton is grown up lamb, or sheep. Mutton was very cheap meat. Today, mutton doesn't exist in any stores around here. I wish it was available, it's my favorite meat. There's lamb, but it's from New Zealand and is the most expensive meat in the store. I can't afford it. I long for the good old days of my childhood.
Butcher shops? None?
Try going to an Indian grocery store. Indians still eat mutton & goat. Lots of great spices too!
Finding a woman that dresses modestly in today's society is nearly non existent. If I seen a woman dressed like her I would marry her in a second.
I used to love a lamb chop until I watched lambs romping in the green fields of England.
🙄
I watched your mum romp around the pub last night.
They're still delicious.
Good grief, she's not dumb. She has watched her mom make dinner loads of time and she probably took Home Ec at school.
Home Ec needs to come back. So does Charm School.
She didn’t make dinner
She reheated food up
If she had a nuker, it would have taken 1.5-2 min to heat her plate.
I graduated in 2014 and we still had home ec
The table clock @0.03 is nice.
Thank you for this
She looks like she’s a teenager
She is 16-17 back in 1950. Would be 90 or so if she were still alive.
Women married earlier in the 1950's.
Dude I know…. I always knew that women and men in general usually got married younger back then.. but she really surprised me. She looks 15! Maybe 16! It might just be her outfit making her look younger.
Might be the daughter. Only because the narration said "she is new to homemaking", like she is just now being responsible for dinner, and "here is where mother keeps her cleansers" comments.
@@Musicmusic-777 yes
“The frozen food storage compartment of the refrigerator”. Some may call it “the freezer”.
I am so proud of her. I have cans of beans of tomatoes.
Back in the day when 1 income was doable… today, not so much
She's moving a little slow because her mother's little helper is kicking in.
Anyone know if you can get the over the range plate holder today? How convenient! Never seen that
I know ! I love it too
Wow! Life was really good before the Internets!
Polio was great! So was chickenpox! Yay!
Go get your booster baby cakes.
We need this today.
Lamb never caught on in the U.S. Beef is still king.
It was huge
Beef won out tho
Boostered by govt subsidies
My mother never used frozen veggies or canned hash
We did
Hamburger Helper too
Frozen danish & desserts like Sara Lee & Pepperidge Farms
Store bought bread, buns and rolls only
Pots of coffee a day
1.5-2 packs cigs a day
Therapists, meds, beer, some Scotch
Adultery, divorce
The mid70s thru mid80s were great fun
Ppl wonder why we had the 90s lol
@@YeshuaKingMessiah well this comment took a turn that I wasn't expecting. 😆
@@anneshirley95 yeah
Some ppl lived in a diff dimension from others
I guess…
Supermarket "fresh" vegetables are not worth buying in my opinion. If you get from a supermarket get frozen as they're picked ripe and not early and left to ripen on the way to the store. If you get fresh from a farmer's market or roadside vendor then yes, by all means use those over frozen.
Good for her Sally only had twenty minutes
I want all those lamb dishes! Please take me there! To the 60's and those dinners!
I need someone to please tell me what the cubes are that she stuck into the top of the lamb loaf, please? I thought it was ice cubes but they were exactly the same at the end. EXPLAIN. PLEASE. I’M SO CONFUSED.
I know when I grill burgers, I like to grill indoors over carpet. It gives it such a delightful smoky flavour.
Mary Chapin Carpenter would love this!! 😂
The way I remember my mother making supper is by firing up the wood stove and then chopping a chicken's head off, and then going to the garden and selecting fresh vegetables and washing them from the water she carried from the pump house.
I was waiting for her to warm the canned food in the microwave and then I remembered...
Take the label off first
Me too. Lol
Seeing as she didn’t cook anything
Just reheated leftover pkg’d food
These shows were watched during Home Economics class. I swore I would never BE HER.
I wasn’t I never wanted a husband!! No man was going to boss me around.
Hit the 70s and hit the road and from then on was my own person
I wasn’t going to follow the rest. I’m 73 this year and still doing My thing and never looked back and said. Gosh I missed that. Not one time 😊😊😊
Happiest in my life. Now.
It's amazing how young women today don't give a damn about being a housewife. Most can't cook, but they want ALL the high-end appliances available . I know I sold kitchen appliances (ranges, ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, grills)for over 20 years.
Most families can't afford toive on one income. Even if a man makes enough money to feed the family, there may be nothing left for retirement, nothing to save in case it's needed to provide for his wife and children in case something happens to him.
Both of my DILs are worthless in the kitchen.Good thing one of my sons was a cook.
You’re right. The ones that cook the least have top of line appliances. Meanwhile, the real home chefs have stock appliances.
Yeah, sad how we'd rather have a career than be trapped in a house all day. Why don't you cook dinner every night for your wife? Why is that her "job"? Can YOU cook?
Cook for yourself and become a housewife if you like it so much, why do you care if they can cook?
I need a Sally. Where can I get one?
I showed this to my wife so she see how things are done properly. Now I have my own sofa to sleep on.
I was half waiting all the time for a vault tec logo to appear from somewhere.
Yum!!
And the fashions! 😊 👏
Marvelous kitchen 😊😊
I tried lamb and it was nasty. Yuk.
Man this kid looks so much like Reese Witherspoon!!! In some angles she really looks
like Dana Barron who played the Original Audrey in the Vacation movies!
All of this could have been yours for $7k on a single income providing for your entire family. Boomers can sit down and shut up about how hard their life was nobody had it easier than them.
She kind of looks like Reese Witherspoon in Pleasantville
Now I have a few easy lamb recipes. That girl looks about 16 how can she be a housewife? different times I suppose.
She’s the daughter showing off her home economics skills. The give away is her Bobby socks and saddle shoes. A housewife would have been wearing stockings and high heels! It was the 50’s and we don’t want to go back to that 😮
@@RebeccaStowell-o5dThe average age for women/girls to marry in the 1950's was roughly 17.6. So very different from contemporary society.
@@RebeccaStowell-o5dfeminism is garbage

It was like wearing sneakers now. Women wear high heels but also sneakers. Saddle shoes were just HUGE.
I am a progressive liberal who is very much in favor of women rights.. and their desire to be a successful professional.. I however, relate very much to this video as i decided to be a stay at home mom. I love cooking and cleaning and having a hot meal for my hubby when he gets home! I would have loved the 50’s…
I’m a libertarian in favor of human rights
The first wife with the ribbon in hair is so cute and dinner to boot! A man can only dream in today's modern society
Daughter not wife
@@maryannfiebelkorn743 Kinda underscores his point indirectly. How many daughters/sons step up and make dinner for the parents or even be willing to cleanup after? Not many.
Plus... the 'Daughter' is an actress who played in more than one film of this type at the time and was in her 20s so don't shame the commentor.
@@IRgEEKI saw to my parents for years as they aged including their meals and cleaning Anyway I will say what I please
@maryannfiebelkorn743
Many women were wives at 20 years old and running a household. They were educated by their mothers on how to do so. Modern women seem to have a dislike for a young woman who would like to be a wife today. A symptom of a femist education.
She's a child. Not a wife.
Why is my wife playing on her phone when I come in?
Because the attention you give her can’t compete with the attention from social media. Social media will destroy your marriage. Good luck.
I would love an oven like that 😭😭😭
good times....
