To cream butter – and other cooking tips from 1949

A barfblog.com fan sent along this film from 1949, but confused the University of Kansas (that’s in Lawrence) with Kansas State University (Manhattan).

They are apparently different places. I don’t care.

This film, produced under the technical supervision of Professor Edna Hill, then chair of the Dept. of Home Economics at the University of Kansas, follows a newlywed through her adventures into cooking and making husband Tim a cake before he comes home for lunch.

It’s sorta the way me and Amy live – except Amy goes off to work and I stay home and struggle with recipes.
