       All right for #ThrowbackThursday I have a story about my grandmother and the difference between hipster and mid-century culture:I was visiting my grandmother and commented on some liqueur recipes in her personal collection. She tells me a story about the coffee liqueur: they used to be too poor to buy Kahlua and it was expected that you'd serve something when you had guests, so she made her own with this recipe.

       One day her guest says "Dolores, I don't know what it is, but the Kahlua is always so much tastier at your place."My grandmother is HORRIFIED. Her guest must know that she hasn't BOUGHT the liqueur, she made it, from scratch...like a peasant. She will lose social standing over this.I'm dying laughing at this point."Grandmama, if I made my own coffee liqueur now, I'd be insufferable about how homemade it was."

       Long story short, I made the coffee liqueur (it's great, you should do it if you like Kahlua) and I went hunting and found the magazine (thanks ebay) she'd gotten the recipe from. She was tickled that I was interested and, dear reader, let me tell you the magazine is surreal as someone who was born a decade later:How does Governor Reagan deal with inflation? Who the heck is this Betty White chick who is married to megastar Allen Ludden?
