Iced Tea

It's really hot today and I wanted an ice tea, but it's s hard to find one that's unsweetened.

1950s Barbecue

We have...definite opinions about charcoal cookery. We believe that it is primarily a man’s job and that a woman, if she’s smart, will keep it that way. Men love it, for it gives them a chance to prove that they are, indeed, fine cooks. The ladies can do the planning and the marketing, the preparation and the hostessing, but the man will do the actual cooking over the coals”

- James A. Beard and Helen Evans Brown, the Complete Book of Outdoor Cookery (1955)

I found this quote, and a wonderful collection of post-war barbecue recipes, on the Recipes From Friends site. Three Bean Salad, Nonna's Potato Salad (with an Italian influence) and Caramel Apple Kebobs look good.
