Four years and a big award to boot! Congratulations! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the interview with you and learning about your philosophy on life. It shines through you.

The photograph of the two ladies hauling ice in 1918 struck me because of the many kinds of work that women did when the men went off to war and there was a labor shortage. My grandmother, for example, who lived in Hyde Park worked on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley.

As usual, your column brought up a few sentimental memories. I don't think my mother every stopped calling the refridgerator the "icebox." Secondly, I fondly remember those delicious chocolate wafers. There was nothing else like them.

Thanks for another great column and again, heartiest congratulations.

Congratulations! 🍾

That kitchen was such a gem. I can just feel that particular type of cabinet when you open it.

And I love that you have the cutting board.

For years my mother painted all her kitchens bright yellow. So cheery!

(Inexplicably she shifted to purple for her last kitchen—I can’t say I was a fan 😂).

Thank you so much, Gabrielle! I love yellow in a kitchen (I added the lemon 🍋 wallpaper) SO cheerful! I would have been sad if I couldn’t take the cutting board with me, so glad I could!

I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of this 1927 kitchen but it is stunning in its own way. Ice box cakes were one of my early posts, so I’m glad to see the food world is still excited about them. Here’s to year 5 🥂
