I've picked and chosen this week's best recipe cards. I'm taking the McCall's route. It's been Better Homes and Gardens and Betty Crocker overload the past few weeks.
As long as I have a gazillion recipe cards, I have a Sunday blog post. I guess from a hypothetical standpoint, as long as I have a gazillion recipe cards, my family won't starve either.
These are from McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection, 1973. I wasn't around to experience this time in our culture.

Nothing like a good beef broth sipper to take your mind off what really matters in the world. You all should try it sometime. And when you do, let me know how that works out. |
And now you all can go about your Sunday. Perhaps it is better enriched knowing about guinea pig back pustules or tartare with raw egg on top of it. Maybe before you go to sleep, you can think of the fruit cake doll watching you..

Could you send me the chocolate chip cookie recipe? I have the collection and hv made these since I was a teen. Unfortunately, my 12 yr old accidentally lost it when cleaning up. I remember what's in it but I think I'm forgetting something. Thank u, Kathleen
