tortillas, margarine, ibuprofen, nag champa

it is with great glee that I cancelled my auto insurance yesterday. I'm giving the car an indefinite break. I've been wanting to do this for years, but working hostile hours and commuting to far-flung jobs prohibited that. now? I work days, it's faster on the bus, and I get to prelude every outing with a luscious stroll!

why the FUCK didn't I do this sooner?

The Glamour Magazine Party Book (published 1965) lists these as examples of good party menus:

chicken consommé
crab meat au gratin
roast mutton chops
tomatoes stuffed with peas
green salad + avocado and grapefruit
crème brûlée

or!

bouquet of shrimp on lettuce + herbed mayonnaise
clear turtle soup
roast chicken + string beans
green salad + Camembert
souffle Grand Marnier

serve crackers with the soup, bread throughout the meal, and have bowls of nuts handily placed near the snifters of complimentary cigarettes!
