I figure it's all just part of the game. Most of those sites take in ad revenue while I don't, so on that score it's a little bothersome. But my whole point in the first place is to turn a spotlight on lesser-known people and projects, so at least there's that. Thanks for commenting and for delving into The Underworld further. I'm really glad you've tried and enjoyed the recipe (and in finding this post, now have many more options if you so choose!) :-) Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-55966858650221744432022-02-14T04:55:27.725-05:002022-02-14T04:55:27.725-05:00I've been making the Cherballs quite often sin...I've been making the Cherballs quite often since I found an image of her recipe (story in link)--they are surprisingly good. Because she copied the recipe from Betty Crocker. Heh!<br /><br />Thank you so much for solving the mystery of where the image came from! I also enjoy vintage movies and television, so I've spent hours clicking on your sidebar. I really appreciate your work here.<br /><br />https://radishthegreat.com/blog/2021/01/18/meatballmonday-cherballs/Radishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874715474300972336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-13380489945231929082021-03-21T18:24:57.442-04:002021-03-21T18:24:57.442-04:00These kinds of cookbooks are always fun. Some of ...These kinds of cookbooks are always fun. Some of those terse captions! Judy Lewis Tinney: "Attractive blonde performer." OK, she was, but it's like referring to Claude Debussy as "Most famous French composer." And why is surly, gruff-looking William Conrad the stand-out face on the cover? Was "Cannon" that big a hit?<br /><br />If you ever come across the 1996 "Feast for Life," an AIDS charity celebrity cookbook, do pick it up. It's extremely elaborate; every page has a unique designs, and it's loaded with recipes ranging from the extremely simple (David Letterman's is "Nachos Imperiales Especial de David." It calls for a bag of tortilla chips and a jar of salsa - the instructions are, "Dip chips in salsa to taste.") to the very complex (some of the celebrities here are French chefs whose recipe ingredients alone take up a whole page.)<br />Mark R.Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13477108436907995362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-62930623493062379522013-03-07T08:50:10.593-05:002013-03-07T08:50:10.593-05:00Awww... what a shame that you followed the recipe ...Awww... what a shame that you followed the recipe and it didn't work out. I think I would have gone ahead and used (if you didn't) the INSTANT brown rice they sell that cooks five minutes then sits five minutes. I bet that baking that type slowly would have worked out better, though I find brown rice (virtually the only kind I eat these days) is always less tender than white. I hope it at least had okay taste to it!! :-) Thanks for the report back.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-81766309774246691862013-03-07T08:15:59.705-05:002013-03-07T08:15:59.705-05:00I used yesterday's (almost) snow day as the op...I used yesterday's (almost) snow day as the opportunity to cook. Well, Ms Walters' southwestern cassarole recipe probably needs a bit of adjusting. After an hour and 10 minutes in the oven, the brown rice was still not tender. I wonder if I should have cooked the rice first? I thought it would steam in the oven given how much liquid was added. Anyway, good flavor but it either needs to cook waaay longer or one could use white rice which generally cooks faster.Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874254346853382934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-89083222993528882462013-03-01T08:22:27.035-05:002013-03-01T08:22:27.035-05:00PPS: I often forget how pretty Cloris Leachman wa...PPS: I often forget how pretty Cloris Leachman was in her prime. My exposure to her was always in less than glamorous roles - the harpy, Phyllis or as Frau Blucher in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (that's FronkenSTEEN).

In that (relatively new) photo viewer that is part of Google Blogger, there is often distortion depending on your browser. I personally HATE what it does to some of the pictures I put up here. But, yes, if you open them in a new tab or window, it's much better. I don't repeat this in all my posts because, you know... broken record, but this is especially helpful when there is text, too. Thanks!

And it is obvious that his 'take it easy, enjoy every simple thing and food as you get it" helped him to be a long living and philosophical wise man.Ana Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15254592284833176658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-54584168003437852752013-02-27T21:50:31.388-05:002013-02-27T21:50:31.388-05:00LOLOL!

Yes, this is an astonishingly random collection of people, many of whom I simply had to leave out because scanning and resizing and fixing and cropping is so time consuming!! I also had to snicker at Hugh Hefner submitting a recipe (not for rabbit - heh heh!) and his apparently demanding that the head shot be noted as copyright of Playboy. It's that way in the book and also on the cover next to his face in the montage! Fascinating kitsch.......Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-40295468421305049782013-02-27T14:18:11.268-05:002013-02-27T14:18:11.268-05:00Oh my God...the total randomness of the celebritie...Oh my God...the total randomness of the celebrities assembled for this cookbook reminds me of the days of 70s variety shows. Talk about recipes: just throw any number of names into a hat and let the viewers struggle to find a linking thread. I have to say I loved Patty Duke's liquor-soaked, Neely O'Hara-esque hamburger recipe the best. To paraphrase Ann Marie's father on "That Girl" - "From a meal like that you could end up on skid row!"<br />I also liked Richard Anderson's meat (I'm not sure exactly why, but all my life I've had a crush on him. He was such a babe in "I Love Melvin").<br />Lastly, I howled at Samantha Eggar ("my dress is blue, my hair is red, my eyes are vivid green")and her being credited with a "pathetic" role in "The Collector"! Nice catch! A very fun and funny post! Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.com
