Is it too late?

In a dark dusty bin, passed down to a family member, a bunch of recipe cards arrived.  The color scheme of the pictures, and the types of recipes made it clear, This is the taste of the 70s. 

My one year old son discovered them in the corner, and started tossing the cards into the air.  I decided it was harmless fun, and enjoyed thinking he was leaving his energy on the recipe cards, helping his top picks land on top. 

I thought, "Is it too late to do a Julia and Julia with these cards?"  Yes, probably so. 

Yet I did still make a cool carrot, spinach, rice, cheese casserole, that I'm certain would not land in a modern cookbook.  It was so good, that even my carrot adverse husband said it was good.  I also made crepes, and they have been a fun way to package up anything, including above mentioned casserole for my kiddos, and thus making them into a meal.  Brilliant!!  Thank you nameless 70's recipe card author.

Side note, I decided the mandolin is not worth the space in the kitchen.  Yes, I did slice the edge of my thumb off last week, even though I had 3 inches left on my zuccinii.  That's the reason I think the tool is not necessary...  I think you can do the cuts safely with a food processor, and that's a good thing.  Safety first!!
