Does anyone remember 60's/70's Clam Sticks?
Comments (24)IngredientsVegetable oil, for frying 2 lb clam strips 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup cornstarch ½ cup cornmeal ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp curry powder ½ tsp celery salt ½ tsp cayenne ½ tsp salt Instructions Start by heating the canola oil in a pot over moderate heat until it reaches 380 degrees F. While the oil is being heated, rinse and drain the clam strips in a colander. Stir the clam strips together with buttermilk in a large bowl. Drain the clam strips well in a colander. Let them set over a bowl for at least 5 minutes. In another bowl stir together the cornstarch, cornmeal, flour, curry powder, celery salt, cayenne, and salt. Dredge a handful of drained clams in the flour mixture then shake in a large sieve to remove excess flour. Transfer the clams one by one in a baking sheet and then shake them again to remove any excess flour mixture. Fry the coated clams until they're crisp and golden for about 1 ½ minutes. Then, transfer them onto some paper towels with a slotted spoon for draining. Afterward, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Serve with some potato fries and your desired dipping sauce, and enjoy! should be close...See Morewhat goes with birch blond cabs in a 60s ranch?
Comments (4)I'm no expert on the material, but cork seems pretty soft and easily damaged for a home with busy cooks and young children? That's why we eliminated it. Instead we went for Marmoleum Click, which would also be mid-century appropriate, and has a cork backing for the resiliency. It's very family-tough. It comes in a variety of colors, and would help avoid the wood-tone joining wood-tone challenge. Is the honey colored wood in the dining room you're referring to the flooring? Have you brought home something from the IKEA line to check the color with the existing wood? So far, it seems like you have a fairly mild and neutral palette with which any colors might look nice, depending on the look you'd like. Do you want dramatic and strong? Lots of contrast? Bright? Calm? Energetic? Elegant? Will you have few or many uppers? Will you be adding good lighting? Will you have undercabinet lighting? Do you have a backsplash in mind? All of those things will affect what colors might work best, and how light the kitchen feels. We need to know more about your plans and preferences. :-)...See MoreAwkward 60's ranch floor plan, HELP!
Comments (16)Agree that the "official" names of,the rooms mean nothing, notice how the PO used the first room as a home office! We rarely see people want to gather in a formal LR, but in the cozier room. You could do as I have seen done by many families: the dining room becomes a playroom (handy to the kitchen, toddlers love to watch the cars and bikes and dog walkers go by, and look at that wonderful windowseat you have, just toddler-height!). Then the room to the left of your front door is the dining room. Between playroom and dining you could put in a door or, more easily, hang a curtain (I'm picturing a drop-cloth curtain). As baby gets older, like school and teen years, you might even turn this into your own sitting room/mom central/"butler pantry". The cozy room is for family tv and reading time. I'd put the TV next to the fireplace so you can see it from the kitchen. And the sunroom is for everything, reading, gathering, playing. My friends' boys had all their Lego bricks in the sunroom, they loved the light, and there was no furniture to get in their way! The flat floor was good for building, spilling, rolling trucks. And when moms gathered, the kids played happily in the sunroom while we chatted in the connecting family room. I,really expect that even if you want to entertain in the LR, you will be shooing people out of the FR and kitchen, so why fight it?...See More60's Kitchen in Need of Update - please help!
Comments (22)I could recommend a few tweaks to the layout, if these were individually-built box cabinets. From what I can see, though, they are very solid job-built custom cabinets. These are so much nicer and better quality than the standard builder grade cabinets used most of the time now. I agree with those who say just change the minor things for now, and save up for a total renovation after you live with it for awhile....See Moreruthanna_gw
