Okay..you’ve convinced me..the 50’s were weird,too.
Yes, avocado green...:)
And the wall paper was some kind of orange space flowers?
Search online and make sure it’s not worth big bucks as is.
“There’s a cookbook for that: “Manifold Destiny”.”
There’s one less paper copy of it on e-Bay now! /8^)
Wow! So then, the only moisture for steam is whatever is already in the fish. I confess I’ve never tried it in the dishwasher, but now I want to try it.
I have a huge blue speckled turkey roasting pan from my grandmother who cooked for dozens. It’s so big it can rest on both the front and the back burner of the stove at the same time. I put a rack and a little water in the botttom, lay a big long filet of fish on the rack, put the lid on, set the pan on both the burners, and turn the gas flames on minimum. When I smell a certain degree of fragrance, it’s done, so I put in on a platter, throw on pats of butter and squeeze fresh lemon and sprinkle fresh herbs all over. Mmmm!
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm
can I come over??
I have that exact roaster.
What fish do you poach like that.
Chiefly salmon; but sometimes you can get a really big white fish of some kind— sole or flounder, or a bluefish, which I totally love. I’ve been jonesing for easily available fish cut to order since I moved away from Philly’s Italian Market. Don’t like the supermarket prices at all.

You know it!
“And the wall paper was some kind of orange space flowers?”
Oohh! The alien wallpaper!
And every new house had fluorescent lights in the kitchen and bathroom that buzzed and flickered at odd intervals.
Ugh yes! City chicken...Fat on a stick! I asked my mom a few years ago what the hell that stuff was. She said it was pork. I haven’t seen it in decades thankfully. Don’t know if its even sold any more. It might have been a regional thing, too.
I was a midwest thing.
Ewww! I grew up near Pittsburgh and pork was the chicken. Just read about it on Wikipedia. It was mostly regional in Great Lakes area.
Yup, very regional.
