Menu Monday ~ 1950s Style
This week we’re going to eat like it’s 1955…or thereabouts. I spent a couple of hours this weekend looking through old cookbooks and family recipes. Let me just say – they ate some weird stuff back then. And they had a strange compulsion to put all manner of food stuffs in gelatin. Still, I think…
