Lets have us a party!!

"The joy of the ‘Joy of Cooking,’ circa 1962
By Bonnie Azab Powell @ 1:56 pm on 14 October 2006.

This posted is rated NV: Not for Vegetarians.

Possum recipeA friend in the book-publishing industry was dining at our house last week and rhapsodizing about old Joy of Cooking editions, particularly the illustrations from the '60s. Lo and behold, on my shelf was a 1962 edition my father had given me.

The book opens with an epigram from Goethe's Faust: "That which thy fathers have bequeathed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it."

I was willing to try, but wow, culinary traditions have changed.

Alan went straight for the opossum recipe. If possible, the home chef is to trap this nocturnal animal and feed it on milk and cereal for 10 days before attempting to parboil, roast, and eat it, perhaps with some turnip greens. Okaaaaaay!"

That's the beauty of that act of contempt for the financially boderline working class family, you just do a Romney, breakup the bill and declare bankruptcy on the Food Stamp part by just not funding it at all. Not quite a sequester but it is fun making sure kids go to school with missed-meal cramps and can't really concentrate. The elderly and less fortunate as well.

Never tried to eat one. Even the vultures around here leave them alone!

Except that the soil left behind is so toxic you can't grow shit in it.

Well, I suppose we could always use the real estate as a dump for toxic wastes created during the manufacturing process of solar panels.

You've plugged for a certain variety of nuke plants which are somewhat different than what is currently the industry standard. Can't remember the difference at the moment, but I'm sure you can.

They sounded very reasonable. Any thoughts as to why they aren't on the public radar?

If you're going to sell someone a carcass, be sure and leave one foot intact...otherwise you'll be suspected of selling cats.

At least that was the way my buddy sold 'em around 45 yrs ago.

Myself, they just don't have the appeal of a highly marbled ribeye.
