7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”

7 Classic County Fair Casseroles, With the Full Recipes

County fair cooking competitions have been a fixture of American life since at least the mid-1800s, and the casserole division has long been one of the busiest. Home cooks would spend weeks testing batches, write the recipe down in pencil on an index card, and carry a covered dish to the fairgrounds in late summer knowing the judges were taking notes on appearance, taste, and whether the thing held together when you cut into it.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

7 First-Apartment Dishes Newlyweds Made in the 1950s and 1960s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The kitchen in a first apartment circa 1955 was often a single wall of cabinets, a small gas stove, and a refrigerator that barely held a week's worth of groceries. Young couples married in their early twenties, set up housekeeping on one salary, and figured out dinner mostly by instinct. Cookbooks helped some. Neighbors helped more. The other resource was whatever cost the least at the A&P that week.

Iowa football stock up, stock down from Cy-Hawk victory

Like it always seems to do, the Cy-Hawk game delivered another classic, low-scoring barnburner on Saturday night. When the dust settled, it was Iowa that walked away with a 16-13 win and the Cy-Hawk Trophy. It wasn't a perfect or pretty performance for the Hawkeyes . There are a lot of things for Kirk Ferentz and his coaching staff to work on before Big Ten play starts. But, ultimately, getting the win was the most important thing, and Iowa got it done. In the win, Iowa saw certain players rise to the occasion and make game-winning plays. It also saw some performances that didn't quite meet expectations. Here's a look at the Hawkeyes whose stock rose and dropped after the Cy-Hawk game: Stock up: Special teams Week 1 was a mixed bag for Iowa's special teams unit. That group rebounded and was especially strong in Week 2. Caden Buhr nailed all three of his field goal attempts, including the 42-yard game-winner. Boston Everitt had several decent punts that pinned Iowa State deep. And the return game didn't make a mistake, with Reece Vander Zee providing a steady presence. Hats off to Chris Polizzi for having his units ready to roll.
