Burned the roast? Don't know what to make?
Don't worry. I have the 1960 Christmas issue of good housekeeping here. You're going to be just fine.
I mean, you could make cranberry candles. All you need is cranberry sauce, Jell-O, mayonnaise, and some chopped walnuts. Once you have formed them into frightening pink cylinders, you can jam a birthday candle down the middle and light it. And garnish it with more mayonnaise!
I'm not going to tell you all the wonderful things you can do with cling peaches quick, because it's the holidays. You want to take your time. I'm just saying, next time you are making dinner for the family, cling peaches with relish and a chicken patty, baby.
In all seriousness, I never do tire of the cooking articles in mid-20th century magazines. I have to admire the ingenuity of a society that even suggested taking an avocado and jamming it full of toothpicks on which floated "shrimp barges" made of celery and shrimp slop as part of a Christmas spread. Unbelievably, just when I think the food in the articles is bad, along comes the advertisements. Prune pie. A pile of canned ham topped with cream cheese to make a "snow cap" and served with Fritos. And the aforementioned cranberry candles, of course, courtesy of Hellman's mayonnaise.
The cookies could come straight out of a current hip cooking magazine, however. A note for the hungry time traveler. Marty McFly, stick to the cookies.
