It's got raisins in it. You like raisins.

Today at work I found a horrifying collection of Betty Crocker recipes circa 1971.  So horrifying... they're awesome.  So, I had to rifle through and take a few shots.

Mmm... nothing says dinner like Crusty Salmon Shortcakes.  The olive garnish on top is an especially nice touch.  This is supposed to be a memorable treat to wow your party guests. I agree that it will certainly leave an impression.

But, what about a nice apertif? Let's look under Men's Favorites...

This is some sort of cocktail called Pow! Yes, the exclamation point really is part of the name.  To make a glass of Pow! requires 2 cans of beef broth, 1 cup water, 1 1/4 teaspoons horseradish and 1/4 teaspoon dill weed.  Add a celery "swizzle stick" for garnish and you've got yourself a nice man pleasing mug of meat juice.

Wow they even manage to make ice cream look revolting...

Stay tuned for Part 2 - Stuff to make with kids...
