I read this book over and over when I was little, until it fell apart and I got yelled at. I wanted to cook like my daddy SO much.

JUNIOR has all sorts of useful recipes, like peas from a can and frozen french fries. But I thought I'd just share a few of the more interesting things:

"Tutti-frutti ice SPARKLE": make ice cubes out of orange, lime, and cherry "summer drink" (made from a mix). Put one cube of each flavor in a glass and poor chilled lemon-lime carbonated beverage over them.

Other beverages include a grape float: grape juice, ginger ale, and lime sherbert. Plus "Circus-Time lemonade": 1 can frozen lemonade concentrate, water, ice cubes, mint.


I don't know what they're using to play the marshmallows, but I have never in my life seen any that looked like that.


"Peter Rabbit salad": lettuce leaves, cloves, canned pear halves, maraschino cherries, marshmallows.

There's also a thing where you disguise canned pears as bunches of grapes.


"Molded fruit salad": banana and canned pineapple suspended in lime gelatin.
