This page was more age-darkened than they usually are. Sorry for the poor quality of the "recipe card" typeface in particular. But you can just feel the enduring authentic French-ness of this still well-known delicacy. Totally worth the trouble, right?! :P From the April issue of Family Circle magazine.

Yeah, I know I missed Shrove Tuesday. I was busy. [shrug] From the September issue of Family Circle magazine.

Make the kids' footwear double as scarves, paint the storage shed, start an earring business, tithe to the Canadian Empire, con an omnivore into avoiding meat... Wow! It's been a busy day! Clipped from the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

It's kind of impressive that they kept those Soviet onion-top bottles alive during the height of the Cold War.

Featuring the Tang jar that didn't accompany any astronauts during the 1970s. Also, I had never heard of canned "rice dinner" until today. Live and learn.

I'm thankful that there's no illustration of the Chili Omelet. In my imagination, it's scary enough.

"...Waffles may be plain or the fancier variety suitable for dessert. For a delicious main luncheon or supper dish, try serving creamed chicken, fish, or eggs over hot waffle quarters!"
