Going back to this post in June 2012 I had warned of the thousands upon thousands of recipe cards I have in my possession. Talk about an untapped resource. I did start this crazy blog and retro food "thing" because I bought a box of Betty Crocker recipe cards.
Sorry Betty. Today's just not your day for your chafing dish to shine. |
McCall's Great American Recipe Collection, 1973. This box alone can keep me blogging for a month. |

It really does not get more self explanatory than this. Except maybe to call it a corn dog. |

Veal Kidneys Monticello with toast points! Is this before or after the digestive process has been completed? |

Normally, I pass on Moussaka postings. Like sukiyaki, there is some variation of moussaka in every cookbook I have. But because this is covered with cheese soup, it deserved some attention. |

Canned ham, canned pork and beans, and canned pineapple does not a "Hawaiian" meal make. This is barracks food. |

Or we can just call it vomit with undigested bird beaks and a parsley toupee. Look close enough you can see a face. |

A pork roast just isn't a pork roast unless it is stuffed with prunes and encased in a gelatin mixture. Did anybody else feel their sigmoid colon lurch in protest? |

When I got me some of them thar bakin' taters, the I can't think of anything better than to top 'em with tuna and cheddar cheese soup. That's a shur thang! Dear Baked-Tuna Stuffed Potatoes: The Veal Goulash called and said it would like its parsley toupee back ASAP. |

Mais non, you do not have to travel all the way to France to get your hands on a 75 euro omelet. You can do it from the comfort of your own home and for about $5.00 |

Cut the faux sophistication and just call them peas. |

ReplyDeleteDo you have the mccalls recipe for crab cakes
ReplyDeleteI found a recipe card for Alaskan Crab Cakes. Is that the one you are looking for? If so, can you send me a PM on my Facebook page and I will forward screenshots.
DeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteMy Mum bought me this set in the 70's and I cherished it, not only because she gave it to me but also because all recipes I made from it were a big hit. I have since lost them in a move and have been searching all over to purchase them again. In the meantime, would you be kind enough to give me the recipe for Bread Pudding with Brandy Sauce?
Thank you so much.
Joanne
Believe it or not where I grew up in the late 70's, those tuna/olive/cheese/egg sandwiches were all the rage at birthday parties. Only the really cool moms made them (mine didn't!) & we did ask for seconds! They were yummy back when we didn't worry about our arteries exploding. Great site you have! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe information and the aspect were just wonderful. I think that your viewpoint is deep, it’s just well thought out and truly incredible to see someone who knows how to put these thoughts so well. Good job! 3d virtual animation
