In my neverending search for more recipes. (MORE recipes), I have been spending some time with a 1968 Better Homes and Gardens publication entitled "Casserole Cookbook". Some of the things they have are actually pretty good, and will be cooked by me. Some of them...
Well, take the Oriental Beef Skillet mentioned above. If I asked you to guess its ingredients, how long would you have had to guess before you came up with '10-ounce can of cream of mushroom soup'? Yeah, me too.
I have discovered the real reason you can't mix poultry and dairy. It's not to create a further fence around the law. It's to prevent Jews from eating the 'Chicken Pecan Waffles'. Or the 'Black Magic Luncheon'.
And did you know that tamales come from cans? I didn't know this.
Old recipe books are strange, strange things.

I particularly like the ones that list things like "avocado*" or "lotus root*" and at the bottom it says "* available at some specialty stores." Heh - or the regular produce aisle of many supermarkets nowadays.
