Other recipes included: Hot Fudge Sauce, Chocolate Frosting, Frozen Fudge Bars, Fudge Sundae Pie, assorted frostings, Strawberry Freeze (sort of like what advertisers eventually pitched as "ice milk" in my childhood), and Frozen Fruit dessert (cream cheese + canned milk + marshmallows + fruit cocktail, served in a cupcake paper. Wha--?).

The "Champagne" meets the "Pheasant Under Glass" of fried poultry. Another winner from photographer Gill. From the May issue of Better Living magazine.

I've always been kind of weirded out by old cars that have those giant fins sticking out in the back. (I blame an old Mad magazine which pointed out how easy it would be to fillet yourself if you leaned too close to them while walking around the car.) This, I could handle. (If I had bottomless pockets.)

Don't ask me to explain why A) The TV looks like a microwave B) The toaster looks like a radio C) The porch light is hanging in the kitchen I'm only visiting this decade. :/ From the February issue.

Designed by a "famous illustrator," but we can't tell you their name! Okay then. From the July issue of Sunset magazine.

And the "Smart Buffet Cart" doubles as a gurney for your passed-out party guests!

I've got several of these books. Most of them only cost me a buck or two. It's just a coincidence that I posted the one with the flickr color scheme (almost) first.
