From a promotional recipe booklet, circa, I'm guessing, 1965-ish. I'm not 100% sure alcohol is the only intoxicant in the mix here...

I would *love* to have that recipe book! :)

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

Because typical American families all have dining space for 200 guests!

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

perhaps this is really "Kahlua for Mormon Extended Families"

Looks like she's playing "Oh! Susanna!" on that see-tar.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

cause I come from Teliwara with a sitar on my knee

[fra-r.livejournal.com]

I cant remember the last time I was playing a sitar by candle light before an abstaract painting.. and drinking kahlua

Man, I have a promotional recipe booklet from Kahlua somewhere, but mine doesn't have any of these rather...special pictures in it. :( I am disappoint!

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

these are the best two ... the rest of it is just recipes, for the most part.

[baron154.livejournal.com]

They're both kind of arch and funny, I like them!

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

I'm a total sucker for advertising that has a sense of humour about itself.

[farranger.livejournal.com]

I like them, too.

[so-low.livejournal.com]

...typical American families have place settings for 50 people?

At any rate, that's a recipe book I'd love to have. Kaluha desserts!

You're the best!! Thanks a lot! :D

Mrs. Harrington remembered the Kahlua, but she was so distracted by Betsy's constant sitar playing that she forgot the forks for the banquet.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

but no matter, the guests had all drunk their fill before they sat down :)

[crabofdoom.livejournal.com]

I somehow always thought that Kahlua was Hawai'ian, or generally Polynesian, at the very least. My whole life has been a lie.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

no no of course not! only the interesting parts.

[whoseline_wlsc]

I really like the candle-in-the-bottle thing. I think my Mom's done that before.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

it was a total clichee of the 60s and 70s

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

I remember most of 'em being done with chianti bottles that had wicker-type stuff wrapped around them though.

As late as the 80s, there were still kits with extra drippy candles to make the things.

[crossfire.livejournal.com]

This is awesome. What's in the recipe booklet? Anything good?

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

"Typical American families"? The KENNEDYS didn't need that much seating space.

(But boy, would I love a look at that recipe book. cough*hint-hint*cough)

[otherjoseph.livejournal.com]

I think that's the point.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

see your lj mail

[stuberyl.livejournal.com]

Can i get in on the 'getting a copy by LJ mail' action?

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

yup

[cactuswren.livejournal.com]

Thankyooooou! (bounces up and down in her seat)

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

are you all Kahlua'd up now? :)

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Well it came down to either a dining room that seats 100 or a bowling alley when they were planning the new mansion. Unfortunately, the Brunswick equipment just didn't match the decor they were going with for the rest of the home.

Kahlua

[sweetmelizza.livejournal.com]

Im going to go buy a bottle of Kaulua and drink the entire thing....just so I can stick a candle in it...anybody know where I can rent a sitar? I also like her strappy sandals! bitterlawngnome, would you mind sending out yet one more copy of the recipes via LJ Mail??? Thank you!!!! Viva Kahlua!
