Tuesday 4: Sandwiches and Housewives day

  Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4!

November 3rd is both national sandwich day and national housewife's day.
In the 1950s working married women outnumbered working single women , In a US  population of a little over 161 million, over  9 million married women worked, while only 5 million single women had jobs.
The Dagwood sandwich  based on the Chic Young comic 
" Dagwood", became very popular and men made them for themselves, the bigger the better.  


Dagwood made his own sandwiches!


1. What is your favorite sandwich ?                                                                                                               as far as homemade I am going to have to say egg sandwiches

2. Do you have a favorite Sandwich shop?  We all know that soup and a sandwich is a great lunch but do you ever eat sandwiches for breakfast or supper?                                                                          Yes,  many times during the hot summer we had this year.  Favorite Sandwich Shop Firehouse subs, all their proceeds go back to the fire departments

3. Growing up did your mother , grandmother, aunts have a job as well as being a housekeeper?           No both my mother and grandmother worked only as a housekeeper, mom raised 3 kids, moms mom raise 6 children and dads mom raised 9,

4. According to the United Nations, unpaid domestic labor is the number one most important driver of the entire global economy. 
78% of women shoulder all the domestic and child caring labor as well as holding down full or part tme jobs.  Without women the global economy would fail.
Did you juggle a family and a job ?                                                                                                           I never had children, however I worked full time outside the home plus did 99% of all house hold chores.
