From good wife, to kitchen goddess?
I’ve been thinking about the Colorado Chapter of the Women’s Caucus for Art Call for entries for the Kitchen Goddess Exhibition to hang in January 2007 in Lakewood, CO. In my head, I know what I want it to look like, most likely a fiber collage…maybe even a self portrait. However, I am still working out the details.
In the meantime, I was looking for a book from the 1950’s that my mother had given me. While I was in PA helping my mother move this past summer, we were going through some of her cookbooks…many of them decades old. She saved one for me that had an excerpt of how to be a good wife or something to that effect from the 1950’s. I searched high and low and I can’t seem to find the book. I did find a 1950’s Better Homes and Garden Decorating Book that begins…”Dear Homemaker,” that I’ll share with you another day.
In my frustration in not locating the “good wife” book, I turned to the internet and found this image. It is such a hoot to read the tips of the day! After reading the good wife guidelines, I most definitely fail as a good wife and I am pretty sure that I am not a kitchen goddess. Anyone else pass?
