I think it was supposedly invented by a chef at the Watergate Hotel back in the 70's but I really don't know.Watergate salad? Why on earth is it called that?

Yeh, I had second thoughts about that salad...TALK to us, carb man!
Yes, it was.I think it was supposedly invented by a chef at the Watergate Hotel back in the 70's but I really don't know.
This quiche recipe from the folks at French's is another 70s flashback recipe that I have to make once or twice a year.You know, I used to use the large pearl tapioca, but now don't bother. Hub actually likes the regular better. I do whip the egg white separately sometimes and fold it into the hot tapioca to make a more "fluffy" version.
Love the dilly bread. Going to try just making it without the herbs to see if its a good bread. Its so light - that's what we love about it.
Do you have other favorites from the 60's and 70's?
I like quiche. It freezes and reheats well. Makes a complete dinner with a salad on the side.This quiche recipe from the folks at French's is another 70s flashback recipe that I have to make once or twice a year.

After discovering what it is I’m not so concerned about why it’s called Watergate salad but why it’s even called salad?
Pistachio pudding
Miniature marshmallows
I can pineapple with juices
Chopped Pecans
Cool whip

I picked up the stuff to make meatloaf and a baked cauliflower/spinach/bacon/cheese casserole tonight. Gonna be busy in the kitchen tonight. Of course, I had to pick the first day of the year to hit 90' out to fire up my oven.I had mashed avocado on whole grain toast for lunch. Dinner will be the promised meatloaf sandwiches; I'm giving myself a day off of kitchen duty.
Well all your labor will be worth it. I like to make creamed cauliflower but the casserole sounds yummy.I picked up the stuff to make meatloaf and a baked cauliflower/spinach/bacon/cheese casserole tonight.

I wanted a turnip to munch on to get away from the other stuff I've been eating, but they had none. Lizzie called me "Carb man," and when I went back and looked at what I ate the other day when it was all written out, I was not happy. I gotta get back to crudités to munch on.
Interesting.Well all your labor will be worth it. I like to make creamed cauliflower but the casserole sounds yummy.
I have a countertop Breville oven that I use every single day. It bakes evenly and actually better than my gas ovens, and does not heat up the entire house. It was pricey but worth every penny, and when it finally dies I will buy another one. Of course, it has limited capacity so I can usually only bake one thing at a time.
Exactly why I'm having cucumber and carrot sticks right now. It's too easy to fill up with carbs these days..I wanted a turnip to munch on to get away from the other stuff I've been eating, but they had none.

I highly recommend the Breville; they heat evenly and are a far cry from a typical toaster oven. Mine has a pizza shelf and came with a stone; there is a slight extended area in the back of the oven to accommodate it. I use the oven almost exclusively since my gas ovens have never been properly calibrated so results are "iffy." I've owned the Breville for at least 5 years and use it daily.Interesting.
They look like higher-quality toaster ovens. I use my cheap Black & Decker toaster oven a lot for baking and roasting. I only fire up my oven for those apple cobbler things or to broil the occasional lamb chops. I'll have to check out a Breville...I'm always up for a new kitchen gadget. And Amazon buyers seem to like them.
We love our Breville toaster oven, and do all our baking in it. One of the best choices we've ever made.I highly recommend the Breville; they heat evenly and are a far cry from a typical toaster oven.

Ooohhhh....I like it coming with a stone. I've looked for one for my cheap toaster oven but can't find the right dimensions/quality. I have one for my gas oven that I use for pizzas and breads, would love one for my toaster oven.I highly recommend the Breville; they heat evenly and are a far cry from a typical toaster oven.

Can you tell me which one you got? Did you get the larger one you can cook a 13" pizza in?We love our Breville toaster oven, and do all our baking in it. One of the best choices we've ever made.
Ambroisa was popular here too, years ago. I liked the one with Mandarin orange sections and not too many marshmallows.About the Watergate Salad, here in Canada we had a similar version of that called Ambrosia Salad using sour cream I think. Used to make it for company coming. Some of those old recipes were quite good.
Lunch, roast beef sandwich and dill pickle
Dinner, no idea yet, shopping trip to buy a whole chicken on sale, Beer Butt Chicken if it stops raining.
Yes, it is .. as I type this, there is a pizza heating up in it Ours did not come with a pizza stone. Don't really need it.Can you tell me which one you got? Did you get the larger one you can cook a 13" pizza in?
From the internet:Breville was made in Australia, is it still? It's top of the line in practically everything. Very expensive, too.
Looks like it still is. The accent of the woman pitching it in the video confirms a "Down Under" point of origin.Breville was made in Australia, is it still? It's top of the line in practically everything. Very expensive, too.
