The family kept calm until 7-Up started appearing in the ice cubes. Then they quietly sent Mom off for some R&R, and did their own cooking.

Tarragon (see the earlier whitefish recipe), garlic, crushed peppercorns, ginger, garlic! Perhaps the 7-Up Empire was easing the transition from the NO SEASONINGS era in American cooking to one where it was actually okay to put something other than a gallon drum of salt into that chicken dinner. Maybe sugary soda was supposed to destroy the toxic properties of all those new, weird, exotic flavors...

Duck A La 7-Up. Yeah, I've got to get down to my favorite Dim Sum place and explain to them that they've been doing it wrong all these years...

"Shrimp Aspic Ring" with 7-Up. At that point, wouldn't you at least wonder (just a tad) if the company was messing with you?

It's nice to see the drinks presented so sedately before the entire booklet goes completely off the rails.

I don't know whether to be relieved or puzzled that the "St. Louis Blues Swizzle" isn't actually colored blue.

The illustrator couldn't decide whether they wanted to do a line drawing or a woodcut, so they tried to split the difference. :/

I went with the two colors on the right side of the row. I really wanted that look that says Have Mama's Triple Almond Mocha ready by the time she's in her robe-- or else!

Is that a ring of cherries on top? Great. Instead of Black Forest Cake I get Black Plywood Cake.

Yes, Oregon! Land of adventure and wild, untamed Nature! Still, I remain hopeful that someday we'll have paved streets and fluoridated water...
