The Inevitable “About” Page
I collect weird old cookbooks and ephemera, old advertisements, old etiquette books and household guides – and am always on the lookout for strange postwar Jell-O and salad recipes. Ideally, both components in one gelatinized amalgamation of horror.
I’m originally a New Yorker, in my mid-40s, living in Canada, where I write about various historical, genealogical and pop-culture retro-vintagey things.
I write about Brooklyn, New York, genealogy, pop history, old advertisements, and any amusing bits of history that otherwise interest me, over at my other site, http://thevirtualdimemuseum.blogspot.com/
I would absolutely love to hear from you, and I try to answer as many comments as I possibly can.

I just discovered your blog and I think it’s great — I’d love it if I could link to it on my own retro food site. Thanks!

I, too, just discovered your blog, and am in love! Thanks for such great stuff!

Aw, thank you Charlotte! I really love your blog too

I absolutely adore both of your blogs!!!Kitchen Retro is fantastic and the New York blog…well, I want to delete my old Chicago blog and start over. You really put me to shame. Thanks for a good lesson in humility.

Sharon, you are so sweet – but please don’t say that, I love your blog! You are a terrific writer and historian, and I am so glad I found your blog.

Oh sugar honey iced tea…. had I seen your website yesterday, I would have happily snail-mailed you several items that I threw out that you would have adored – a 50’s menu with all the advertising hype among other interesting 50’s food advertisements…
