   Over 1200 wonderful vintage recipes are listed.  Our most recent request, from   
   Melissa N., asked for vintage recipes that can be served at a "vintage"   
   Halloween party where everyone was dressing up in costumes from the 20's,   
   30's, 40's, 50's & 60's.  We received the following recipe:   
      
   "Hi Phil, this isn't a recipe per se, but my Mom used to do this for us every   
   Halloween.  She'd take cooked frankfurters and break them in half (she   
   wouldn't cut them, she'd break them so they'd have a bit of a shredded end).    
   Then, I think, she'd use a knife to make them look like severed fingers-she'd   
   cut out where the nail bed would be and then cut little lines for the   
   knuckles.  Then she'd lay them on a plate with ketchup in a puddle at the end   
   of each jagged end to make it look like blood.  Kim P."   
      
   "Here is a recipe for a Halloween sangria.  If it comes out right it will look   
   like a hand is floating in the sangria ingredients 3 Latex gloves Filtered   
   water (enough to fill latex gloves)   
      
   3 cups Sparkling water   
   2 bottles Dry red wine   
   3 cups orange juice   
   3 oz Brandy   
   3 tbsp Brown sugar   
   2 Fresh oranges, thinly sliced   
   2 Fresh pink grapefruit,thinly sliced 2 Fresh lemons, thinly sliced   
   2 Fresh limes, thinly sliced   
   1 cup natural sour cherries in syrup   
      
   The night before the party, fill the latex gloves with some filtered water and   
   put a rubber band around the end so the water can't escape and then put them   
   in the freezer to freeze overnight.  Before the party begins, combine all of   
   the ingredients (except for the latex gloves and filtered water) in a large   
   punchbowl.  Take the latex glove off of the "ice hand" and lay it in the   
   punchbowl so it looks like a hand is floating.  Dory"

   10.  A vintage recipe request from a reader:   
      
   "Hi Phil, My husband's mother used to make homemade mayonnaise but he lost the   
   recipe during the many moves he made while in the Air Force. The ones we've   
   tried from cookbooks just aren't what he remembers. Would your readers have   
   any vintage recipe(s) that may work for him? Thanks much, Carol A.  Green   
   Valley Az."
