I'm 72 and remember Parade Magazine and the funny papers (comics) from the Sunday newspaper. My brothers and I fought over who got to read them first. I wish there was still advice columns somewhere like "Ask Jack Sun" and Ann Landers. I think my mother used the same pineapple upside down cake recipe and she also used a cast iron skillet to make it.

Thanks for the memories and the recipe, Chef Bear!

I would like to know more about the startling story of the wife with two husbands, please.

Zero PolyBear and America's Test Kitchen are where I go to for all things cooking.

Great gift to all of us Bear.

8:22, I remember reading as a little boy in the late 70’s Erma Bombeck’s column, Reader’s Digest, Dear Abby and listening to Paul Harvey. Erma was funny but my parents didn’t know I was reading Abby. I miss the innocence of those days. I inherited my Mother’s 70’s Tupperware and Revereware and an early 60’s sunbeam electric mixer in pale pink that I make mashed potatoes with today.

I still have my mother's 1940s and 1950s cookbooks, which are wonderful. And I have many recipes cut from the newspaper. I cherish them and they are good too. And 12:28, you made me giggle because I still have my mom's hand mixer. That thing rocks, and it outlasted the one that I had! Oh I just love all the memories. Thanks Bear and everyone.

Thank you. Thank you. My family loved Parade. I saved all of Julia Child’s recipes from there in a notebook. I saw it recently and of course put it in the “Keep” pile.
