29 Faces - Super Sandwich

True story - having two boys there has always been a lot of superhero talk in our house which would ultimately lead to one of them asking which Superhero was my favorite or which Superhero would I be - My usual answer was "Super Sandwich" or "Super Salad" (get it??  like on a lunch menu - "would you like soup or salad with that entree") which would make the boys roll their eyes when they were older and make them shout, "there is no such thing" when they were little.

When I found this old recipe card featuring more "Super Sandwiches" I just had to make my version of a superhero.  She is a mom superhero and spends her days running errands, taking care of her family, washing clothes, cooking dinner, etc. and therefore has resorted to wearing a comfy pullover sweater.  As a tribute to her superhero days she occasionally straps on her headgear when she needs a boost.

BTW - how gross looking is that sandwich on the card?  Looks a bit like it has already been chewed up and redeposited on the plate.  If that sandwich isn't to your liking perhaps you'd rather try the Peanut-Bacon-Pickle Sandwich.  

Check out all the fun with 29 Faces!

Anyone up for fish??

It is January now and often people decide to eat healthier at the beginning of a new year so I thought I'd assist you with a delicious recipe from 1971 featuring fish.  You are so welcome!!

"A whisper of curry and a dash of ginger give distinction to this economical luncheon casserole."  

Does that seductive food talk make you want to rush out and buy some frozen peas to be able to make this "casserole"?

While the recipe calls for different aquatic wildlife I'm going to use my stunted salmon/rainbow trout fish.

Jellied Chicken Salad

Can't say that I've ever drawn a chicken before but I ran across these old recipe cards that I had stashed away in a drawer and couldn't resist.  How unappetizing does Jellied Chicken Salad sound - about as disgusting as it looks, huh?  Don't you love the snazzy strips of pimiento to dress it up? 

I remember mom putting celery and carrots in fruit jello when we were kids but, thank heavens, she stopped before the jellied main course!!  My favorite part is the claim that it would be "perfect for a hot summer evening!" 

I have a few more 1971 recipe cards stashed away - who knows what amazing treat I will reveal next!!
