The tagged book is one I gave my mom years ago. In her attempts to downsize, she recently gave it back to me. Filled with gruesome examples from old cookbooks (jello salads with salmon inside, anyone??), its hilarious! It does have the occasional salty language.
But what‘s really funny (or sad) is that this recipe for 7-Up guacamole actually showed up in a grocery store flyer! *Yesterday*. Just when I was re-reading this book! 🤢

dragondrool Can you imagine someone hosting a potluck where every dish had to come from a recipe in this book? 5y

ValerieAndBooks @tournevis old food advertisements are fun, too! 5y
ValerieAndBooks @Reggie Still better than 7Up guacamole 😆!! 5y
ValerieAndBooks @dragondrool it‘s not really a cookbook (discusses pictures/recipes) but I‘m sure if someone tried hosting something “retro” like this, everyone would go away hungry 🤭!! 5y
tournevis @ValerieAndBooks They are great! From the 1950s especially. 5y
