Clark Gable's Favorite Stuffed Burgers - I've been wanting to make these for along time, and yesterday was perfect!

I started with one pound of ground beef for 4 servings. Mixed the meat with salt, pepper, a hint of cayenne and just a few drops of liquid smoke. I didn't want to over-power the burgers with the liquid smoke since it's very strong. Next time I'd just a touch more, because after tasting these, it was hard to find the smoke flavor.

The hint of cayenne pepper was really nice with the contrast of the ooey and delicious center of the burger which kept in very most.

My husband grilled these for the recommended time they looked great coming off the grill.

The taste of the meat was really nice, seasoned perfectly and the stuffed center of American cheese, tomato and sliced onion melted into a nice combination of flavors with the onion flavor standing out the most, but in a great way!

When I assembled the burgers, I divided the meat in the bowl into 4 equal-ish sections. Then I took each 4th and divided it into 2 and made 2 thin round patties for each burger. (you'll have 8 thin patties in all).

Place a round-ish piece of cheese on each of 4 patties, then a thin slice of tomato, and a thin slice of onion. ( I didn't use the whole slice of onion, only about 3 small rings per burger. Then put the top patty on and seal all the edges completely.

I ate mine with just a little lettuce on a toasted sesame bun. I didn't think it needed anything else, plus I wanted to enjoy it Clark's way!

You can add your favorite toppings to this burger and I'm sure it would be really delicious!

Originally, girl scouts baked their own cookies. This is the recipe.

I can post more recipes from the book if others are interested!

Signature Hits: She is best known for the 1963 #1 smash "It's My Party" and its sequel "Judy's Turn to Cry".

Recipe is from Beetons 1893 cookery book. A tasty way to use up bread and jam either at home or on camping trips.

Reviewing the legendary Guacamole recipes of horror masters Boris Karloff and Vincent Price - We wanted side by side taste comparisons for each of these popular guac recipes so we made both. Although they both include the key guacamole ingredients like avocado, tomato and onion, here are the key differences:

Vincent Price's Guac:

• more lemon juice
• fresh green chili. I used jalapeño.
• ground coriander
• mayonnaise
• cayenne or Tabasco, I used Tabasco
• garlic
• lighter in color

Boris Karloff's Guac:

• canned green chilis
• sherry
• cayenne

As for the tastes of each of these, Karloff's Guacamole was more like the traditional delicious guacamole that we all know and love. Very delicious! Price's Guacamole was very creamy and lemony. A nice change of pace. Next time I make it, I will probably add less mayo, as the avocados of the "olden days" were much less creamy than the Haas avocados we eat today.

My husband thought the Price's Guacamole was more like a salad dressing and would be nice used in that way. It was also smoother. He thought Karloff's Guacamole had just the right amount of onion which was minced. Price's Guacamole had grated onion which probably incorporated more with the overall dip.

So that's what we thought! Both were very good. I like both and would probably lean towards Karloff's version as my #1 choice.

P.S. Originally I was going to do a comparison of 5 guacamoles and include:

• Patricia Neal's Avocado Hors D'Oeuvres that has curry in it
• Ramon Navarro's Guac that has Pomegranate Seeds in it
• Greer Garson's Guac that is similar to Prices' but with less mayo and lemon.

Honorable Mention: Beau Bridges Guac that has sour cream, salsa and olives in it.

Let me know if you're interested in any of these!

I loved reading all your comments on the last post!!

You guys have made my day with some of your memories!

I make this recipe every now and then if I want something light and simple. I don't include the olives simply because I'm not too huge on olives in general, but I do love the optional curry powder and raisins that it suggests, especially with a teaspoon of garam masala thrown in to make the flavor a bit more interesting.

A time honoured and versitile recipe from Mrs Beeton's Everyday Cookery 1893. It was popular during WW1, Great Depression, WW2 and remains still popular today when camping or if funds are low.

I made these from this recent post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Old\_Recipes/s/slB02kXdoY

Smaller quantity, no onions. They’re potent little things! Very acidic. I can’t eat more than one or two at a time. Probably won’t make this recipe again but it was fun.

Katharine Hepburn's Peach Summer Salad - I thought the cream cheese and almonds were going to be the star of the show, but the unsweetened whipped cream added on the lettuce as "the dressing" with the peaches was a refreshingly delicious Peaches and Cream Salad!

Although the cream cheese does add a little tiny savory note, it's really a supporting character in this salad. Each bite I took, my eyes widened and widened. Wow! This salad was surprisingly refreshing, thanks to the crisp romaine lettuce, but felt very luxurious at the same time. I would definitely serve this for a girl dinner!

You'd think the whipped cream would be sweet, but of course it's left unsweetened so it's brilliant to dress this salad. The peaches add the only sweetness, so there's a nice balance of fresh flavors and nice crunch from the almonds.

Fresh peaches can't be beat this time of year, so why not indulge in a little salad for one, just to try this fun Kate Hepburn dish?!

Always looked forward to these during Halloween. My grand mother added notes to how my great grandmother made changed the recipe.
