 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.

Recipes for this option:

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

marshmallows

and bananna cream pie

Here is a link to all the recipes for you to browse

allrecipes.com/gallery/the-most-popular-recipes-of-the-1950s/

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

50s-party/saturday-gigs

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.

50s-party/sunday-tv

Sunday Gigs

An evening of 50's Jazz

50s-party/sunday-gigs

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!!!

 A SUMMER HOLIDAY PARTY ABROAD This idea is something just about everyone wants I would guess.  The dream destinations will obviously vary, but it is one of the reasons we work hard so we can travel to sunnier climes than Britain and have well-earned rest and luxury. Saturday Food The idea is either: 70's buffet party, which could include Swedish food.    Not sure if Ikea is back fully yet, but when it is there are loads of party ideas available.  I actually once impressed a snobby foody by making  hors d'œuvre  from Ikea products, shocked myself but it did.  Suppose I did get Home Economics at school.  Until Ikea is back you can just get whatever there is at the supermarket. Then serve with a 70's alcohol like Mateus or Cinzano or of course Swedish vodka.  Found two beers at Ikea so maybe it will be back soon.  We used to buy a lot of their alcohol. pinterest.com/saphireblack/homemaker-tips/an-august-summer-holiday-abroad-party/ or...

A September Island Holiday I got this idea from Japanology. Then thought of Island Holidays around the world. I find this subject a challenge as someone like me isn't supposed to dream of holidaying beyond designated holiday destinations within my class or status. I moved from working class to middle class and not sure what I am now. Have studied this one as for instance Japan is classed as an Island which I didn't know. Britain is an Island but I did that with British June. Ireland is an Island independent of Britain. Decided to feature this instead. Another place I'd like to visit.  A tarot friend of yore recommended Dublin and The Crowley deck ~ she was right about the Tarot deck. Also, we love Irish coffee ~ you can also make calypso coffee. Saturday food Japanese or Hawaiin Japanese  I would recommend Wagamma, which is a Japanese restaurant or Hawaiin https://uk.pinterest.com/saphireblack/a-september-island-holiday/saturday-hawaiin/ If you are struggling to get food yo...
