Aqua Blue Heaven Friday: Happy Meal.

We're cookin' up an especially delicious Aqua Blue Heaven Friday today! (That'll make more sense and be a lot more amusing in a minute. OK, it'll at least make sense. Amusing? Ehh, probably not so much.)

Today's vintage aqua treat is this Vintage Mid Century Recipe Binder, available on Etsy from seller Cocktails at Six:

How can you not love the kicky font of "Recipe Book"? (Notice how the "O's" in "Book" look like hard boiled eggs?! No, really. Do you see it?...How about now?) I know alot of my lovely readers are big fans of vintage kitchen stuff AND I know alot of you dig old-fashioned "tried and true" recipes. Me too! But you know what else I really love? I love when stuff comes with other stuff!...Oh come on, you do too know what I mean. I'll explain: Not only is this a pretty cute binder for holding your recipes and whatnot, but it comes with a few recipes attached inside already! See? Free stuff that comes with your stuff! It makes total sense now, I'm sure.

Observe! It comes with a recipe for "Rolled Molasses Cookies" (excuse me a moment while I busy entertaining myself with how it sounds like "rolled my ass". Carry on):

As a super spectacular added bonus, it even comes with a recipe for "Ham Loaf." You heard me: Ham. Loaf. I bet it has something jellied in it. You're welcome, I'm sure.

  2. Reminiscent of my sweet grandmother's kitchen. Bless her heart. She's only updated the fridge and stove over the years but left everything else the same from 1952.
