Lunch-Box Favorites, 1963-Style

Now that everyone is safely back to school and work are you already bored with your lunches? Take a trip back in time for some inspiration, courtesy of Better Homes & Gardens Lunches and Brunches (1963)! The cover alone makes me feel like I need to up my lunchtime table-setting game. And that plaid lunchbox and matching thermos! Like I need more things to tote around the city - but I'd make an exception for those. Note that the menu for first graders sounds a lot better than the one for executives on diets. Just one of the many things to love here! Bon appetit!

Rosemary's Baby Recipes

Halloween means horror films and today we have recipes inspired by one of our favorites, "Rosemary's Baby!" We have a Mousse au Chocolat from 1961's New York Times Cook Book, which you know New Yorker Minnie had in her collection, and what has become the definitive recipe for the Vodka Blush, created by our friend and cocktail expert, Peggy Nadramia. Shake up some cocktails, settle in and prepare to be unsettled!
