Yard Saling Saturday ~ Entertaining, Teen Time & Onion Dip

The Calvert Party Encyclopedia - Your Complete Guide to Home Entertaining, published in 1968.  This time around the drink recipes - all 242 of them - use one form or another of Calvert products. Besides the recipes involving alcohol , there are party menus (42 in all), party ideas and even hints on party planning. Some the products offered by Calvert at the time of publication include Canadian Lord Calvert (whiskey), Leilani Hawaiian Rum, Passport Scotch, Mariachi Tequila , and of course Gin.

Teen-Time Cooking with Carnation, published in 1959.  Slim booklet put out by Carnation Evaporated Milk to ease teens into learning to cook. There are only 11 recipes, all using Carnation Milk as an ingredient. The tone of the booklet is very outdated and pretty much assumes the only role a female would have is that of homemaker/cook.

Soup Lovers Guide to Lipton, no publication date, but definitely dates from the mid 1960's.  Tiny (size-wise) booklet with recipes featuring Lipton Soup mixes. Along side the obvious soup recipes, there are also main dishes, stews, salads, appetizers and much more! Besides the ubiquitous Onion Soup mix, Lipton also made  Chicken Noodle, Tomato Vegetable, Beef, Green Pea, Chicken Rice and Mushroom soup mixes.
