50'S EASY ACCESS POINT
Hello and welcome to the 50's party.
The Kray Twin documentary points out how they were all hungry as WW2 rationing hadn't completely gone.
This means no food for the end-of-month slimming day off.
The only thing I could think of was Saturday night go for a meal in a restaurant and then to a bar or nightclub.
Sunday Night is go for a meal in a restaurant.
This year we are in American 50's where they cooked all the time.
Romantic meal for 2 Sunday Dinner option
If you want to cook and can purchase ingredients I discovered the 50's had spaghetti bolognese and spaghetti carbonara. I'd happily make both of those, we had spaghetti carbonara at weekends when we hadn't any money as we were setting up our business. We had that and a bottle of wine for £5 using the penny convertor and clubcard points. You could serve it with full-fat garlic bread and a salad as your one-day off-a-month treat. If you have a starter and dessert it would be maybe more of a treat. Not sure what they had in the 50's so you could just do your favourite Italian dessert and starter I suppose.

Ready meals have got better so you could have pasta ready meals with garlic bread.
We can't get tiramisu anymore.
Takeaway Options for the 50s day off slimming
Chinese takeaway.
Suppose you don't have dessert with Chinese anyway.
or Pizza
or chicken and chips.
or Fish and chips.
This is how I used to do my day off actually. Would go for a meal in a restaurant. I'd rather do that again than be stuck at home. The only problem is all the restaurants we used to go to shut down because of covid restrictions and social distancing ridiculous expectations and the ones near us sell horrible food we don't want. Maybe we will find something. Also, the bar we walked past looked really anti-social. The world is a weird place at the moment.
American 50's Food
Might have more chance with this idea as American women were cooking all the time in the 50's.
I'm trying:
Chicken Thigh Fricassee with Mushrooms and Rosemary
Found they had mashmallows
and bananna cream pie

Hitchcock festival
You could just have a Hitchcock festival as I have found quite a few from the 50s and they are all free.
Never found free versions before so quite pleased with this.
Perfume Junky
Really looking forward to this, I save it up for the event and join in myself. Not sure where it will go this weekend ~ apart from a few favourites. The vendor of the Hollywood blog will get the commission I think ~ so purchasing it through her link.
Saturday night tv
I would recommend the Kray Brothers Film starring the Kemp brothers, (from Spandeaux Ballet).
The Krays
Saturday Gigs
These are modern gigs inspired by the 1950's
Sunday TV
Bell book and candle
Love this film, found a free version, but I already purchased the Youtube one for my collection.
Yield to the night
Never found a free version of this. I purchased it and have watched it a few times. I will watch it in the 50s and nostalgic Christmas. It works as a film you can watch over and over again, so worth purchasing. It could be a bit nostalgic if I'm honest and it is black and white. I'm a film fan now ~ so definitely one for film fans.
2 of my favourite films ~ you can't really have one favourite film.
Sunday Gigs
An evening of 50's Jazz
Just add your favourite dinner and alcohol and enjoy!!!
The next party is an alternative Glastonbury party, been doing that myself for years as I like heels lol!!!
