In 1968 I was 12 years old. My mother was ill, and I decided I could make Thanksgiving dinner myself. Soup , 2 salads, a 15 lb turkey, rice dressing, potatos, yams, and apple pie. I set a nice table. No formal training, I learned by spending time in the kitchen with my mother. If you want to do it, more than likely you can. It doesn't matter where in the world, and what era you live in.

You almost certainly mean sweet potatoes. Yams and sweet potatoes are different vegetables. It is highly unlikely that anyone has yams for Thanksgiving or Christmas, as they're hard to find in most places. The gross bright reddish orange things people for some reason eat are always sweet potatoes that they mistakenly call "yams" because the company that sells the canned variety brainwashed people into thinking they're yams because of their logo. But they're not yams, I can promise you that.

But they never dressed that way in public. And cooking with my aunts was a kitchen full of music, loud laughter and whispering things that kids weren't supposed to hear. Sipping liquor in tea cups, and children couldn't run in the house especially when they were making cakes.We also had to stay out of the kitchen. It was gr8! Most of them are gone now and the one's that are left are too elderly to help out but they definitely give orders and suggestions and lots of complaints about the kids, your stove, your seasoning and everything else.

She loved making a nice home and looking pretty for her family. It was a given that we ate together daily, sitting at the table was mandatory and how we looked in on one another and connected. I was taught to help out even as a small child and I learned so much during these times. I remember holidays being a time when you wore your special dressy outfit And you were on your best behavior.I know life was not perfect back then but people actually looked at one another and spoke to one another , they weren’t staring down into their phones ignoring each other. . Yes there was a lot that wasn’t great back then but the way families interacted and spent time together was so much better than what we have now. We have too many distractions and things that keep us from one another to the point where people go online to meet others instead of just talking to someone standing next to them in the grocery store.

My maternal grandmother had to go to work at 38, after my grandpa had a stroke at 44. A second stroke forced my grandpa to go on disability, and close down his business. It was als o around that time that she had to learn how to drive, because she was never taught to drive. Luckily my Aunt Nancy stayed home to help out the family, while she also worked. On my dad's side, my grandparents were poor, that both grandparents had to work. My grandpa was a mechanic, and my step grandma worked a number of jobs, including being a dispatcher for a taxi service, doing over 20 years working as a waitress (with this job, she sometimes brought in more money than my grandpa), working as a cashier at a grocery store, and just before retiring in 1993, she worked at a Walgreens distribution center. Most of her jobs were in the overnight hours, while my grandpa worked during the daytime, and feeding the kids, and getting them ready for school. My step grandma's struggles paid off in the end, because unlike my maternal grandmother, my step grandmother saved up enough for her own retirement, and my grandpa's pension, help her live comfortably in retirement.

The bird was the seasoned well and cooked to a turn. I still miss his Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. His stuffing was so popular with guests that he had to make big trays of it to serve with left over turkey for a cold supper and they would make a bee line for it when it was put on the buffet table.

Even groceries we buy now consist of packaged or pre-made ingredients, which may appear what we must prepare at home to be homemade. But aside from that you have to appreciate the time and effort these women put aside to make this and other delightful feasts occur. Sure it seems all fancy, but for Thanksgiving my parents were cooking 2-3 days prior and everything growing up seemed like a big chore. When we got older they started dining out instead, but to do it all right and keep the tradition was certainly a production. I miss it, but look forward to one day doing it myself when I have a family to keep it going and for that delicious food of course.

Wow, just to think that back then you could have a nice wedding reception (with a home-made turkey) in the home. There was no wedding planners, no bridezillas, no 50k budget that plunged the newlyweds (or their parents) in to debt for years. Just a nice simple wedding to celebrate the pretty bride and handsome groom. Now they can start their life. Simple really is better.

My sweet mom passed away a few years ago and took great offense of anyone who called her "Oppressed". She took her role as mother and home maker very seriously and she missed it terribly when all of us grew up and went off to college or got married. If you didn't grow up in the 50s or 60s, you don't have a clue of the joy she admitted to me of running our household while my dad worked many hours a week and part of the weekend. Parents had a bond of love in those days that many today would never understand. When you see these wonderful women feeding their families or serving their husband, they did this out of love not oppression. We would help where we would permitted but she would rather we focus on homework, yard work and encouraged our social life. Also, folks forget that the father (in addition to being the bread winner) kept up the car himself and handled the home repairs as well as yard work in most cases. All of us were a team and a family. You should not judge others but if you are inclined to do so, at least know the whole story. Most who grew up in this era feel very fortunate.

hammerfilmbuff - If your mother or any wife chooses this life, I agree she should not be called oppressed. However, keep in mind not all women want this style of life. My mother hated it when she was first married, and wanted to work and have a career. She did so and still raised her children, and luckily had a husband who was fine with it and also enjoyed helping around the house. As a matter of fact, my father preferred to be the chef of the family because he loved to cook, and we ate very well. My mother liked cooking, just didn't do it as often, more around the holidays or for parties, etc., or to feed us breakfast. I think most of the criticism comes from the angle that many women were required to do this and had no choice. There was also the stuffiness of how they are portrayed living. We didn't live around the house in dresses and suits. Seriously, who cooks in heels, or has dinner in formal wear that is not party related. Yes, dad repaired cars or did house work, but so did my mother. In fact she's great at plumbing. She also loves to sew for some reason, even though not required. She just like making things with the sewing machine. She also liked to clean the house because she found it relaxing, and liked to paint walls, etc. when she wanted to redecorate, but my father, and us kids, did our part too. Not as a requirement, but as a choice. We had some duties, like washing dishes, helping with laundry or keeping our rooms clean, but that was more to teach us responsibility or earn an allowance. Oppression comes when it's expected or demanded, which is the one thing these videos always seem to hint at.
@ladymaiden23085 жыл бұрын
hammerfilmbuff dude I totally get the joy of running a household. I don't have a husband, but I work for myself, from my house, enabling me to be my own house wife between work and sleep. There is great satisfaction in homemaking. walking through a clean and tidy house full of abundant Good Foods in both fridge and freezer gives me joy. someday when I have a husband, I will bring used toys to him as well because I enjoy doing it anyways. so long as he's not a total slob LOL. somebody told me that made me oppressed, I'd have to laugh. as a feminist, I believe women should not be judged for their choices. That includes wanting to be a Homemaker, even if I have a job. Nuff said.

@@joltjolt5060 The issues of modern day are largely an issue of late stage capitalism. 1950s still had pretty substantial poverty rates among Black America. Lots of people are so stressed in modern day between excessively high rents due to the rich buying out properties to rent the nanosecond they open. Businesses who squeeze out as much labor from their employees as possible with as low wages as they can possibly return. Healthcare that is completely unaffordable for significant portions of the population. A climate disaster that gets worse every year as corporations continue to pollute the planet. It is not that majority of people have gotten better or worse; the people who were already shitty just latched onto more power and wealth. In many ways, life has improved. Technology has gotten a lot better, people have more access to a variety of resources and luxuries, and even mental healthcare has improved in quality. So while economically certain people may have found the 1950s less frustrating, it still had its host of issues too. Redlining and the White flight ensured that Black families could not take out mortgages for homes, leaving them to rent. Racism was still rampant, and LGBTQ+ people were subject to harsh discrimination and criticism in response to the Lavender Scare. Communists and socialists were heavily persecuted during the Red Scare. Housewives commonly took drugs to alleviate the depression and boredom that ensued from their position in life. Disabled people had less options for medicine and were a lot more stigmatized. So the 1950s may have been for some in certain aspects, but they were pretty awful for a range of minorities. Every generation has its share of problems, and someday people will look back at the 2020s in a romanticized light.

I can only speak from the standpoint of chicken processing, but there are so many factors that go into poultry these days. Smaller family farms have given way to bigger factory farms, specialty breeding, feed, and changes in processing habits as well. Many birds you buy are injected with a flavored brine that also helps to keep the meat moist during cooking. The domestic oven has also evolved greatly over the decades along with other cooking techniques. I'm curious about what the next 30 years might bring.
