Fuzzy memories

The other day when I was pondering whether there were any ChiChi restaurants around (there aren't, by the way), I then started thinking about other defunct places we enjoyed - ones that still have a brand presence around. One of those places is the Kahiki. Their frozen items are still around in stores, evidently. I really should go to Stop and Shop and find some. However the food itself isn't what I remember.

I'm almost sure that it was my 21st birthday where I went there since it was the drinks I remember more. It was one of those places with the big fancy tiki-bar kind of concoctions where on some of them they used dry ice for even further effect aside from the fun cups and little paper umbrellas.
The front of the place:


Miss that quirky place. I don't seem to know many of those types of silly places to go eat anymore.

Soon to torture myself with food

I have a bright green box of Betty Crocker recipe cards circa 1971 and while the recipes inside aren't as the notorious Weight Watchers 1970s recipe cards mocked most wonderfully here, there are a few obnoxious recipes included within.

I dedided not to try to make some of the worst of the worst since one thing is that I intend to actually eat...ok...taste...what I make but I will do a few of the more iffy sounding ones and I have to make at least one recipe including gelatin in some form.

So at some point this week, prepare yourself for fish sticks!
