LOL had me LOL! Okay, a bit of an explanation here! In the past LOL meant 'Little Old Lady' and now it is also short for 'Laughing Out Loud' so when I came across Little Old Lady Recipes: Comfort Food and Kitchen Table Wisdom, by Meg Favreau with photographs by Michael Reali, I just couldn't resist making that connection. ;-) Great old 'standards' of the kitchen, with advice from grandmother as well (it will make more sense to those of us of that 'certain age' I think)! Don't miss the introduction, it's a hoot.

Ever wonder what happened to some of the toys, foods, games and so on from your childhood? Actually, I was not thinking anything like this when I cam across Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s & 80s, by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper and Brain Bellmont. I am a bit older than the age group here, but nevertheless, plucked this book of the shelf and found it to be a fun read! Find out which are gone for good, are still around, or have returned in an updated version.

When did vintage come to mean 1978??
