Hiliarous collection of "recipes" from old cooking booklets that shamelessly advertise specific products (none of which I was necessarily old enough to deal with, not that I would have). I'm not associated with this guy, he's just funny. Be sure you to read his commentaries. http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/ Laugh and enjoy information about gelatin cooking; preparing cocktails and snacks for the late evening party, etc. Be sure to include your cats; they would probably love some of these items when your guests politely spit them out!

Okay, up top we have another entry in the interminable Fun with Molds series, this being “Cottage Cheese – Cranberry Salad.” This dish is useful only if a guest has a sudden attack of hemorroids, and needs to lower himself into something that sooths and cools.

Jill >Hiliarous collection of "recipes" from old cooking booklets that shamelessly >advertise specific products Because they were published by the companies that made the prodicts. I distinctly remember a Crisco cookbook in my mom's kitchen. And she of course had the huge, and gaudily illustrated Betty Crocker compendium. I will never forget the look of those pictures. And I didn't understand why my mother never made all this crap with frilly toothpicks sticking out of them. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War >> Hiliarous collection of "recipes" from old cooking booklets that >> shamelessly advertise specific products [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > of course had the huge, and gaudily illustrated Betty Crocker > compendium. You mean one of the old Betty Crocker ring-binder type cookbooks? My mom bought one when she got married in 1951. She didn't know how to cook *anything*. I always thought girls/women raised in the 1930's and '40's were *expected* to know that stuff. Mom got rid of hers, which forced me to buy one exactly like it (in excellent condition) on eBay a couple of years ago. Just because :) I will never forget the look of those pictures.

My mom did use those for hors' doeuvres when she and Dad had people over for "cocktails" or the military wives over for a luncheon. I don't think they were drinking tea ;) Jill > You mean one of the old Betty Crocker ring-binder type cookbooks? My mom > bought one when she got married in 1951.

Just because :) I've got one of the Betty Crocker ring-binder type cookbooks. It was a wedding gift back in 1975. My favorites cookbooks in my collection are a Fanny Farmer and a Boston Cooking School written in the 1940's. I *love* the recipes for cooking opossum..."First catch an opossum and put it in a cage. Feed it persimmons for a month"...or something like that. Lately I've been collecting old community cookbooks. I have some great Junior League and school and/or church fund raiser cookbooks from around the country. Julie Many girls/women who were raised in the twenties, thirties, and forties could not cook by current standards. They simply didn't have much variety of food to work with. They usually could bake a good loaf of bread, roll a perfect piecrust and "put up" fruit and vegetables for winter. When sugar was rationed, that really took the fun out of things. My mother was considered an excellent cook by all family and friends, but that was a result of her working as household help for a wealthy family for a year after she left West Virginia. That and the fact that she made the best apple pie on the planet. She grew up on an apple orchard. I still remember our introduction to hors d'oeuvres. A saltine cracker, toped with a spoonful of Cheese Whiz, topped with a Bread and Butter pickle.

I couldnt' help but burst into laugter at this one : http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/coffee/3.html "She's had enough, I think. Enough coffee ice cream. Enough coffee-toffee topping. Enough coffee. She's looking at that coffee-flavored ice cream as if she can't decide which orifice to jam it into." Isabelle >> Hiliarous collection of "recipes" from old cooking booklets that >> shamelessly advertise specific products (none of which I was [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Isabelle Yep, that's funny! But coffee ice cream is my favourite! I even have coffee syrup (from Rhode Island) to put in milk to make 'coffee milk'. I don't care for chocolate milk, but I adore 'coffee milk'! The odd thing is when I drink hot coffee it's always black and strong. No sugar, no sweet, no cream. Go figure. Jill > Yep, that's funny! But coffee ice cream is my favourite!

The odd thing is > when I drink hot coffee it's always black and strong. No sugar, no sweet, Sounds like something I used to love as a kid, "CoffeeTime" was kinda syrupy although it was marketed IIRC as a soda. LOve coffee-clavored anything. Norm > no cream. Go figure. SignatureX-No-Archive: Yes -- "In 2005, the refining margin...has exceeded $20 per barrel, far above the long-term average of $6.

LOL Can you imagine having made a living (not that it's all he's done, not by a long shot) collecting old weird "cookbooks" and writing funny commentary about what he sees on the pages? We should all be so lucky! I love his writing!

We > should all be so lucky! I love his writing! I totally enjoyed reading it, thanks for posting it. After clicking a link about the Knudsen's Empire to see what became of the dairy king, I wasn't surprised to find myself at Kraftfoods.com. ;) And, I see they're still up to the same ol' tricks: http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=recipe&m=recipe/knet_recipe_display&recipe _id=65453 Pimping "Comet Cups" this time. Hehe Cool cake, though!

Brand loyalty. I've been in California for 34 years now, and Knudsen cottage cheese and sour cream have always been available. And usually the best quality brand available. Jo |
