What a cool piece of history! I have eaten thousands of those Totino frozen pizzas in my life! They aren't fancy or expensive but they are filling and you know they will always taste good for a quick something to eat!
cool photo.......I like that her dress and the table clthes match........My mom made matching jumpers out of old curtains for my room mate and I when I was in boarding school ( I think it was around 6th grade) we thought it was kind of funny because that was the same year we watched Sound of Music for the first time and we loved the part where Maria made the kids clothes out of the curtains.......made our jumpers all the more special. THe curtains were a brown velvet..........the really funny part?.......well when the storms came through and took out one of my dad's barns a few weeks ago.....we found a barrel that had the clothes from when I was in sixth grade in it........I am not sure why my mother brought them back to the United States ( she is a bit of a pac rat) but my sister finally pursuaded her that we needed to pitch most of it. Ish and I had a good laugh remembering though.....I even found the green maxi that my mother made me for my 6th grade graduation.
This is a photo from the History Museum. Rose Totino brought pizza to Minnesota. Notice she is wearing a dress that matched her table cloths. She wanted to start a restaurant for pizza. The city counsel in Minneapolis never heard of it and never heard of a restaurant selling only ONE dish. So Rose went to city hall and made them pizza. She got her restaurant. My DH and I had our first date at her first pizza place. As Rose aged she sold the restaurants and unfortunately also sold the name to a frozen food company who made the first frozen pizzas (Totino's Pizza of course) they were NOT so good but sold well. This was in the 1940s and by the time I met my DH to be hers was a favorite place to eat and had been for years.
