Subtitle being: for the Hostess & Host of tomorrow.
Picked up a hardback copy of this yesterday, but it has less recipes and my father's version is easier to scan.
I read this book over and over when I was little, until it fell apart and I got yelled at. I wanted to cook like my daddy SO much.
JUNIOR has all sorts of useful recipes, like peas from a can, frozen french fries and macaroni and cheese from a box. But I thought I'd share a few of the more interesting things:
"Tutti-frutti ice SPARKLE": make ice cubes out of orange, lime, and cherry "summer drink" (made from a mix). Put one cube of each flavor in a glass and poor chilled lemon-lime carbonated beverage over them.
Other beverages include a grape float: grape juice, ginger ale, and lime sherbert. Plus "Circus-Time lemonade": 1 can frozen lemonade concentrate, water, ice cubes, mint.
I don't know what they're using to play the marshmallows, but I have never in my life seen any that looked like that.
"Peter Rabbit salad": lettuce leaves, cloves, canned pear halves, maraschino cherries, marshmallows.
There's also a thing where you disguise canned pears as bunches of grapes.
"Molded fruit salad": banana and canned pineapple suspended in lime gelatin.
This got me thinking about food. I am probably a pain in the ass for some people to feed, as I don't drink milk, and I hate rice. I also dislike carrots, peppers, and spinach. The texture of scallops and onions makes me heave, and I steer clear of shellfish. I also don't like lamb, pineapple, and kiwi, and will get very vocal about things in the fungus family.
What are your food hang-ups?
