Companies that make faucets make many styles and still make the old
fashioned styles but with modern technology. The one my plumber said
to stay away from is American Standard, used to be the best America
offered but now made in China and is a hunka junk. He recommended
Kohler so thats what we bought, been going strong for nearly 20 years
now. We put one in each bathroom, one all chrome, the other with
brass trim. It's single lever and very easy to obtain the desired
water temperature.

They all make what sells. Some like the old fashioned look of
seperate faucets... I find them a pain to adjust water temperture.

My grandparents was like that until a remodel in the 1960s. It was
quite common years ago. it was mostly a PITA using them unless you just
wanted cold water. The hot was too hot to be used alone to wash.

Moen's scare led to a faucet.

I don't mind the faucets with separate knobs for hot and cold. What I
don't like at the basins where there is a hot tap and a separate cold tap.

Old farts will find this new food concept too overwhelming for them. The kids just love this stuff. I'm not sure how this stuff is baked. The crust is super thin and not pre-baked so how they're able to transfer it to the oven is a mystery. The crust comes out crisp and the top comes out relatively unscathed. This thing is done in a few minutes. That's a very good thing.

When you say "kids", do you mean Hawaiian men and women in their early
40s?

Oh, I was thinking of a more motley crew. If they were Germans, I'd
call them Germans, rather than "colonists from central Europe".

I'll leave that to the German language department at your local community college.

My mother used to make one for dessert for our New Years Day dinner.
That would do me for the year. Tarts are another matter because you get
it in smaller doses. She also occasionally made raisin squares. I loved
them, but they were way to rich. As much as I like them I have never
made them or raisin pie. I used to occasionally pick up a couple squares
in a bakery, or get a piece of pie if was available.
