The firemen put out the fire before the house got fully cooked. Pops

I do wonder: How did the brisket turn out? Did the fibre-glass fed flames impart a special flavour to the meat item? What dies one serve with an item of this nature? I'm thinking a light red wine, or perhaps a subtle malt liquor?

I'm assuming, by the "subtle malt liquor" comment, thatwe are assuming the woman was black - most likely "ghetto trash"?
Until I moved into a mo-bile home, at the age of 32, I had no idea they made bathtubs out of fiberglass. Every place I had ever lived, and at the time that was nine different houses, had a porcelain-coated steel tub.
I would not consider cooking in one, but I would also not consider the bathtub would melt.
Maybe it was the first time she'd ever lived somewhere with a plastic tub.

I'm leaning toward 'white trash' on that story, but that's just me. Who cooks anything in any bathtub?

Chootem, we didn't use bathtubs for cooking, but several were used for water troughs. They lasted far longer than those galvanized things that the co-op sold, and it didn't matter that a leg (leg or two) was missing.

They worked very well and sadly, I bet a few of them would be considered antiques by now and worth quite a bit of money; however, buying/getting one would not be on my list! Of course I have not tried making bathtub gin since I was in college and that was a 100 years ago! *cough, cough*

Gee, we had an old, heavy claw and ball tub that we used to feed the three or four beef cattle. I don't know where it came from, the house I grew up in was built in 1962 and had its original tub!
