Cloilde did sell liquid Mrs. Stewart's Bluing; I haven't seen a catalog in a couple years, so don't know if it's still for sale. I'd seen it in the stores up till a few years ago, but never used it. Emily
Huh? I thought Sole was white...

Black. You haven't seen me cook.
The Apex is very similar to the Maytag I grew up doing wash in -- it would occasionally go mad and swing the wringer around and around, and if you weren't fast enough, it could break your arm. Got my fingers pinched in the wringer more than once, too -- you quickly learned to keep one hand free to hit the release lever. Zinc washtubs in our house, on a stand.
My grandmother, however, had an automatic washer with "suds saver" feature... it pumped the wash water out into a laundry sink, rinsed the clothes in clean water and spun them. Then you re-used the wash water on the next load.
There are times I wouldn't mind having a wringer washer again -- but for level dyeing, not for doing the wash. Still, even a wringer washer beats a scrub board and tub or beating your clothes on a rock, both of which I've also done...

Thank you, Alan. We had one of the ones on the right when I was young. Emily
After a fire damaged my childhood home, my parents used the insurance proceeds to do a major remodel and upgrade, including moving the laundry upstairs. They had an extension built onto the house with an entirely new kitchen. My mother had a *deep* sink installed in the kitchen (for washing dishes, no DW yet), with the washer and dryer right next to it. That first washer had the "suds-saver" feature. It was sometimes a race to be sure dishes were not in the sink when the washer emptied into it. And it did no good at all if one forgot to put in the stopper. ;-}
It no doubt saved lots of water, and some soap, but I often wonder how clean the subsequent loads got? Mom washed my Dad's work clothes and towels - he ran several gasoline service stations - those were always the last load in, and I think soap was added for those last loads. I suspect the wash water was pretty cold by the time four or five loads were done.

You do Cajun Blackened Sole??? What spices do you use?
B
Spices? You're supposed to use spices?

Ohhhh! My recipe is simpler. Put the fish in the skillet. Check email, play game until smoke alarm sounds. Turn fish over and repeat.
ROTFLMAO!
