re: An American kitchen in the 1970s

A fricking fridge or washing machine shouldn’t need to be connected to the internet to function

We sold my grandparents house 4-5 years ago. When we did a final walk through I realized everything in that kitchen was from the 80s or older and it all still worked.

This was my grandmother's kitchen in the Redemptorist neighborhood. Tile was green/white marbled, and fridge was behind the photographer (microwave was where the fridge is). Brown cabinets, two ovens on top of each other, just a stove-top. She had an island to the left, with two barstools. One spun very fast and I am pretty sure I drove her crazy spinning around like that. Good memories of eating roast, rice & gravy after Mass every Sunday.

Golden Rod and Avocado, youngster.

You sneak in and take a picture of my maw maws kitchen? She used to make the best root beer and gumbo!

Ah, avocado appliances

And don’t forget the California poppy color.

In ‘77, the old man came home with an tabletop Amana Radarange Microwave

Looks like this and was built like a bank vault.

My dad ran out and bought a microwave when they came out. It cost something like $600 and my mom was not pleased.

My mom did the same thing. Still got it. Still works.

There is plenty of adjectives you could use to describe that kitchen but austere and functional are two I wouldn't use because they aren't really accurate.
