Way Back Wednesday: Home Ec 101


Imagine yourself as a young woman in 1962 attending college at the University of Tennessee. You wake up early in the morning, remove your pin curls, put on your most stylish floral pillbox hat and head out to Home Economics class...where you'll watch attentively as your instructor demonstrates how to create the perfect triple-layer cake with 7 minute frosting. And we wonder what's wrong with young people today!

  1. Oh Kate . . . what a fascinating "journey" the photo and your description took me on . . . I adore pondering other points in time. This was such fun. I thank you! BTW, last week, I was pondering the creation of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) and the excitement of bring electricity to farms across America. Sigh . . . it's fun to ponder.
