Stainless, yes, but!
I am furious, I have been using a Pfalzgraf set of Stainless, that I bought years a ago and I love it, but:
Bear with me for an explanation.......
It is well known that aluminum causes Alzheimer's disease, or so I have read.
I was reading my dishwasher manual, and it states, "do not put aluminum pans in the dishwasher, as it will spot the dinnerware.,
Okay, I don't have any aluminum pans, I got rid of them when I learned about the Alzheimer's, so where are the spots coming from?
Okay again, I bought new dinnerware, and shortly after, I noticed in the bottom of the cups and bowls, there was a nasty, dark, ring pattern in a metallic grey color. It got worse and then I noticed it in my Corning Ware, especially the one I use for my salads, because I like a large serving. I never bothered too much and then as I used it more and more, it got darker and darker, so am I going to get Alzheimer's or maybe I have it already.
So, where is the culprit? What can it be but my flatware, or as a common term, stainless.
What !!!! Stainless?? No it is not stainless, it does stain and worse than that, is the fact that, when I checked the back of the spoons and forks, it said stainless. Okay, I can live with a stained knife.
I grew up in a time when Oneida was a trusted name, made by a company that originated in Oneida, pronounce O - n -i -da. That is where my Greatgrandmother lived, in Oneida Township in mid 1800s. They also made silverware. Then later in the mid 1900s, during the war they made flatware out of stainless steel. Perfect, here is a superior product. Many use Stainless Steel for a cooking surface, thus, the use for cookware, which is, so far, the choice of the best of Chefs, like Emiril, and All-Clad, which is a local company.
Getting to the point now: My flatware reads: "Oneida Stainless, but not stainless steel, like in the 'old days', so what is going on here? I am scammed! Here, I am thinking I am doing my family a favor by buying good flatware, and now, I think it is made of aluminum. Aluminum, that is etching/spotting/ruining my bowls, cups and dishes. I have been fooled to think a company is fooling me by using the word "STAINLESS making me think that, " Oh, this is good quailty stainless steel, no, I realize now I was fooled to think that.
I am feeding my family and myself, and my guest with aluminum flatware, knives, spoons and forks, made of aluminum. I am contributing to their possible un-healthy, horrible situation that could ruin their lives as well as their families.
Now my gripe is, so many of us, unknowing, are using this same flatware and with the China scare, what else are we using???
Imagine how often we crunch, lick, chew, and otherwise use this product. What is it? What are they using in China?
Check your flatware. Now!

So, where is it?
Where in the world is the finer things in life? What are they, you ask? Well, for one, to spend quality time with family, a picnic by the river, a drive through the park, wading in the creek, playing tennis again, softball pick up game, good food in a basket, good hot coffee and home made danish or poppyseed roll and just fun stuff.
Okay, it is more than one, but you get the drift.

This day in my history.
While fires consume the west coast and the Republicans try to consume Pennsylvania, us public continue to live a normal life, working hard and doing our duties each day. It is not enough, we have to fight everyday to keep stable financially. The cost of living is horrendous, seeing the stock market continue to fall and the price of gas to increase.
Personally, I just like to unwind with my work of preserving history in any way I can. I continue to swamp the family with old photos reproduced and enlarged, as that is all we have of our progenitors and our close relatives who have passed away. I realize how precious these photos are, since I am so short of ancestor's photos. I have to imagine how Grandpap Joseph looked, he would be tall, as I see his brother's photo as a tall man with broad shoulders, a little heavy, but then, he is retired here in the snapshot. Grandpap Joe Derouin never made it to retirement, he died just 7 days after his 44th birthday in 1921, in the prime of his life. So, he had blue eyes, according to his WWI Registration Card, brown hair and of medium build and height.
