\"Click<\/a>Here is a cookbook that’s been in my wife’s family since circa 1957 – Betty Crocker’s Cook Book for Boys and Girls. It’s really interesting to thumb through this and wax nostalgic over the good ol’ days, when you would make hamburgers<\/a> by adding a half cup of evaporated milk and a teaspoon of salt, or ‘Saucy Hamburger Crumble’<\/a> starting with a tablespoon of ‘fat.’ <\/p>\n

And last, but not least, here is the obligatory link to Google’s year-end Zeitgiest<\/a> – it was worth looking into this if only to figure out why Yuko Ogura<\/a> was the number one Japanese search for ‘popular women.’ Pretty cute<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
