I read an article called Have Yourself a Very Vintage Christmas today.  (It is no longer online so I have removed the link.

The Pita Bread Christmas Trees mentioned in the article  are adorable.  And, will be featuring in my Christmas menus.

The article mentioned Susan’s Party Loaf which is this gorgeous looking thing

However, if you are going down that route you could also try this very pretty version from Betty Crocker.  You really know you’re taking a ride on the way-back machine when you have a completely gratuitous use of food colouring!

And the Madras Cocktail ?  Take a look at this piece of awesomeness…

Don’t drink them all they say?  Who are they kidding?   The recipe which is here

put me in mind of the old Dorothy Parker quote:

“I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I’m under the table,
after four I’m under the  host.”

This thing might not just knock your socks off, it could take your ankles with it.

I  can’t wait to try it!

So what retro treats are you all planning for Christmas?
