Growing up in the fifties made me everlastingly grateful for a number of things, such as hot running water, central air conditioning, automatic dishwashers, TV remote control, the internet, personal computers (typewriters really sucked – no backspacing!), There were no dishwashers (other than us kids!). Entertainment.

There were few dishwashers, no garbage disposers, trash compactors, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances or Jenn-air ranges. My parents made do with one for most of their years, even when my brother and I started driving. Even though most families cooked and ate at home back then, kitchens were pretty basic. Need or want?
