I always figured people made pretty good food before electrical gadgets were invented.
Very true. But when I watch Olivia and Grandma Walton kneading bread, my arms tingle just thinking about it.
I think Not only was the food better but people were a lot healthier kneading their own bread, wringing their own laundry, beating rugs, Etc.
Growing up we never had an electric mixer, only an egg beater.
I remember cake mix boxes with how many hand beats or how long to beat in minutes with an electric mixer.
