Actually I preferred to see the chemistry (explosive mixture?) with Johnnie Cradock her 'husband' - he of the monocle. Just a period piece ...

it was one of my earlier memories along with Eileen Fowler ... any one rememerb her although that ws not cookery ::)
 
I have seen clips of Fanny and Johnnie, I would love to see a hole program of them. I don't suppose that would be allowed nowa days, what with all the drinking and no swearing and all ;)

Have you ever seen the "NEW TRICKS" episode where the wife was accused of murdering her husband while on a tv cooking show? That appeared to have been loosely based on Fanny and Johnny(wife doing all the cooking ,he just passing things and drinking wine). ???

I also recall Muffin prancing around on the highly polished top of a grand piano: it stopped about 1955 if I recall correctly. But then I first watched TV in 1951 ....
 
If we are reminiscing childrens tv from the 50s was Muffin on the same programme as Mexican Pete and Hank?? . I think they are the same era but my memory could be faulty ::) ::)
 
Dick

Mexican Pete and Hank were from Whirligig, early 1950s. Muffin the Mule was early afternoon if I recall and Whirligig was Saturdays.

Ess I note we share the same birthday - although you are possibly a little older than myself .... but I am pre NHS.
 
I have the feeling I may be the oldest member here, not sure if this is good or bad.

We are both retired, but I always feel that retirement is wasted on us oldies. I could have done with it ten years ago.
 
My cousin has an original Muffin the Mule toy. It's the ugliest thing I ever saw. She's 61 now and loves the rotten thing like it was a pet! Actually I think their cat gets less attention than the mule!

I was given a plastic Muffin the Mule toy in the 1950s; my Mother still keeps it in case I "break it" - I think. It has a carrot with a magnet in which means his mouth opens as you place the carrot above his head. Mint condition as I was never allowed to play with it as it was breakable! Rather liek my first electric train set - my father played with it. I could watch.
 
My cousin played with that mule til it was threadbare. Shocking state on the thing these days!

I've not seen that one but I used to watch Ace of Cakes with Duff Goldman. I liked watching the different techniques but couldn't imagine eating something that had been handled so much :P

I like: Pioneer Woman, Barefoot Contessa and Everyday Italian with Giada.
 
I also like Barefoot Contessa. I e-mailed the shows website one time and you know, I got a reply from Ina herself! How kind was that?
 
I have never seen the Barefoot Contessa. Could someone tell me what channel she was on? Also are we talking about years ago before my time????? LOL
