Small, little cast-iron skillets.  See the Pez dispenser?  That's how small the skillets were. Strange yah?

It's a bed warmer. Back in the day (even before my day), they used to put hot coals in um and put um under the bed. It was $10.

I'm not sure, but I think this is a Wolf grill.  It was $300!!

You got some cool movies. I love "Rent" and "The Terminal".

I got Terminal 'cause Landon always says, "Medicine for goat." and he got it from that movie. I haven't seen Rent yet. I'll watch it next.

OMG..I love those earrings on the cover of that book...oh and those little cast iron skillets...a chef friend of mine in Chicago uses similar ones to make his signature "individual" cornbread ...ono...PICKLED MANGO SHAVE ICE !!!

I wonder if I can make those earrings for you. I got the tools, just need the material. Soooo looks like next time we go swap meet we gotta go try that shave ice again. Maybe you can figure out the ingredients.

Wow! That was a fun trip for me. Thank you! I like those stamps. The small cast iron skillets are fun! I wonder people eat less back then? I love to have them so that I could make individual 'cornbread' or better yet I could make individual oyako donburi.

Ooooh, individual oyako donburi!! What a great idea, Akemi!
