Thrifty Finds - July (Week 1) #6 Dinner & A Movie Plus Dayton Hudson Celebrates

TBS Superstation Dinner & a Movie Cookbook, published in 2003. Another book which I previously owned and gave away to a neighbor only to find a replacement, albeit a few years later. Recipes are based on the movie shown during the program with one recipe per film. Many of the names are a play on the film's title &/or characters - i.e. Coal Miner's Daughter is represented by "Butcher Holler Ham Hocks & Collards".

There are probably close to 100 films and recipes total. The 80's are heavily represented along with a few "classics" from 1990's.  The show ran from 1995 to 2011 (which was a surprise to me since I really don't remember seeing the program after the early aughts) and I can admit that I did watch several episodes.

With Warmest Regards - A Celebration of Our Customers' Recipes and Traditions, published in 1995. Recipes were contributed by the customers of Dayton's, Marshall Field's and Hudson's department stores. The book was part of a fund raiser by the company with all proceeds going to United Way.

There are over 200 pages of recipes many with a mid-west vibe since the majority of the stores were in that region. As with many iconic department stores purchased by Macy's, all the remaining stores are re-branded with the Macy's name in 2005.
