Table Scraps: How to Keep Down the Holiday Meal-Related Kitchen Waste

Welcome to Table Scraps, a monthly series on the growing problem of food waste and what some eateries, officials, farms, institutes, and everyday people are doing right. This isn’t a guilt trip, just a way to unpack initiatives attempting to reduce kitchen waste and food loss, as more than 40 percent of all food is wasted in the U.S. We’re exploring backyard composting to city programs, restaurant tips to technology, and anything related to this global issue. Heat up those leftovers, and settle in. Writing this, I feel like Barbara Stanwyck in 1945’s Christmas in Connecticut (not the Arnold Schwarzenegger-directed 1992 version). In that delightful holiday comedy, food writer Elizabeth Lane (played by Stanwyck) instructs others how to be the ultimate homemaker during the holidays. Spoiler: She was a fraud not a homemaker but a single gal in a New York City apartment.

Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: Christmas in Connecticut : A Delightful Romp

Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: ‘Christmas in Connecticut’: A Delightful Romp Not Rated | 1h 41min | Comedy, Romance | 11 August 1945 (USA) Before Christmas, why not see a buoyant, breezy comedy film that can be viewed by the entire family? Directed by Peter Godfrey, “Christmas in Connecticut” stars Barbara Stanwyck as Elizabeth Lane, who writes a popular syndicated column called “Diary of a Housewife” for a major magazine. She’s set herself up as the epitome of the perfect housewife: She writes about her devoted husband and their baby, as well as her idyllic farm in Connecticut, complete with livestock. And of course, she’s a marvelous cook who just loves to share her recipes with her readers. The only thing is that she’s a total fraud.

Did Southbury author Gladys Taber inspire the classic film Christmas in Connecticut ?

Did Southbury author Gladys Taber inspire the classic film Christmas in Connecticut ? FacebookTwitterEmail 1of14 Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan are seen in a poster for 1945’s “Christmas in Connecticut.” It’s believed Stanwyck’s character, Elizabeth Lane, was loosely based on Gladys Taber, a popular columnist at the time for magazines such as Ladies’ Home Journal. Taber, who lived at Stillmeadow Farm in Southbury, wrote nearly 60 books and a column in the 1930s and 1940s called “Diary of Domesticity.” Elizabeth Lane’s column is “Diary of a Housewife,” but it’s a sham. She can’t cook and doesn’t live on a farm. The romantic comedy follows what happens when she pretends to be what she isn’t, and falls in love with one of her fans, war hero Jefferson Jones, played by Morgan.LMPC via Getty Images / Contributed photoShow MoreShow Less

Christmas In Connecticut turned gender roles on their head

I grew up on a steady stream of ’80s and ’90s comedies about how hilarious it would be if men had to parent their own kids. So you can imagine my surprise when I flipped on TCM a few years ago and discovered a romantic comedy from the 1940s that featured its dreamy male lead bathing a baby with the confidence of a well-practiced babysitter. There’s humor at play he’s taking over for a woman who’s merely pretending to be a mother and the whole sequence has the high stakes of a false-identity farce. But the laughs come from the goofy situation, rather than at the expense of either of the characters. Instead, his natural nurturing abilities are part of his romantic appeal and her complete incompetence is part of her quirky charm. It’s a subtly progressive scenario that honestly wouldn’t feel out of place in a contemporary rom-com.
