A Tropical Shortcut Feast, 1969-Style

Today's menu comes to us from 1969's Shortcut Cooking, and I'm 99.9% certain the "Irene" who wrote her name of the cover of this book was my mother-in-law. I would love to be able to ask her if she ever made Easy Perfection Salad and, if she did, how she felt about sauerkraut in lemon Jell-O and whether or not she topped it with the Horseradish Mayonnaise. I'm pretty sure the answers would be no and no, but who's to say? She was an adventurous cook. Fix yourself a Mai Tai and get ready for a speedy dinner straight from "the tropics!"

Bon appetit!

Aunt Sammy's May Menu

Are you looking to mix things up for your May menus? Travel back to May of 1931, publication date of Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes Revised. Aunt Sammy, as you may have guessed, was the wife of Uncle Sam (why they had the same name is a question for another time) and, beginning in 1926, "she" (in truth there were many Aunt Sammys at radio stations throughout the nation) began offering household tips, including recipes, on her "Housekeepers' Chats" radio program. Here are her Dinner Menus for May. Some of these dishes may sound downright unappealing by today's standards, but it was the Great Depression and there was food on the table. And dessert! So, without further ado:

Bon appetit!
