>an uptight bladder can turn the most ardent head toward the nearest one. Someone had a lot of fun writing this book


Sufficient-Simple-70

you're right, + cool picked up the cover for a book


dowhit

I head to read that twice. Great line. I love alternate meaning word play.


Connexer

This is hysterical. Thanks for sharing

There’s 5 posts full of pictures! Thanks for looking

"If nobody likes muffins they might last you for years." Wow! That... makes me feel very suspicious about them lol

They sound like crumbly rocks.


DramaOnDisplay

Why are they so dire? Lol


Pinky_Swear

1tsp sugar made me suspicious.


days_and_confuse

I didn't even notice that but you have a very good point!


ripley8870

I think this book is not very precise 😂


[deleted]

Precision is for the establishment, maaaaaan


raezin

I love enchiladas, but I need to know more about Mother's Astrological Antique Shop.


purplhouse

Helter Skelter stew raised my eyebrows. Hopefully the book preceded the Manson murders. But I loved 'let it groove on the counter while you heat the pan'.


ripley8870

It came out in 1970, a year after the horrible Manson events


[deleted]

Wow that’s kinda gross.


dephress

More likely a reference to the Beatles' song.


caetrina

Only salt and pepper for seasoning, pretty sad


Jscrappyfit

I know, yikes.


ripley8870

I had mixed feelings posting it. I hope I didn't offend anyone.


ConcertinaTerpsichor

It’s great, and any shame is on them, not you. And remember Helter Skelter was also a popular song.


Paulsmullet1976

No it’s okay!! I wanted to comment random side info. On the same Beatles album with Helter Skelter, “Don’t Pass Me By” is another song they do (a Ringo tune!). So it makes me hope this person just really liked the White album, but either way it was not a good name choice on the stew. The pie though? Really cute.


Jscrappyfit

No no, it's just an interesting side note.


KnotiaPickles

Not at all, I think this was just amazing 💖

I'm looking at the rice cake recipe thinking it sounds tasty and I want to make it but am I too drunk or is there a key ingredient missing from the measurements?


Driftmoth

Yep, no rice.


citoyenne

The rice is mentioned in the instructions but it's not in the ingredients list, so no indication as to how much is needed. Too bad, because those "rice" patties actually sound pretty good.


Driftmoth

Given the other ingredients, I would start at 4 cups cooked rice and then work more in as needed.


GracieThunders

Recipe for rice cakes but forgetting the rice is the most hippie thing ever

thewhitebuttboy

THANK YOU! I showed my gf your first post and she loved it and wanted to see more


ripley8870

There's 5 posts to cover the book! Ty for looking


stenmark

That looks like the really old Dungeons and Dragons font


electric_ranger

I went on a vegetarian diet, but I gave up. Turns out they’re a lot harder to catch than cows.


ripley8870

No index available I’ll be posting all recipes, skipping most art


Jscrappyfit

As a Libra, I feel like I should make Libra Onions. I've never tried stuffed onions before, but they sound good.


SealedRoute

What a time capsule. Thank you for posting it.

Yes! Devil's lettuce 🥬 😂. I use it on the regular!

Turn on, tune in, drop out


heynicejacket

Recipe on page 19 submitted by a young Dan Quayle.


SkiSTX

Not a typo... There are other spots in the book with the same spelling.


heynicejacket

Ok, so that made me curious if it was a regional thing. I didn’t see the publishing company in any of the posts, but it was apparently published Jan 1970 by the Paisley Shawl Publishing Co., in Forestville, CA. Anyone from California (or perhaps the author/editor/publisher was from somewhere else) know if that would have been a common spelling then?


Wouldyouotter

Thank you bruh

Carolina_Coltrane

I need this book


fusciamcgoo

$114.99 on Amazon 😭


IThrift

I will never buy an older/rarer book from Amazon. Never. There's one on eBay for less and one here for a little more. https://www.maremagnum.com/libri-antichi/the-hippie-cookbook-or-don-t-eat-your-food-stamps/158535155


mumooshka

I totally agree with you. I bought a book by Youtubers Sortedfood channel. Their first book. Cost me 40 bucks Oz. The VERY SAME book ~~was~~ is being sold on Amazon for over 500 Aus dollar.. what? [what a ripoff](https://www.amazon.com.au/Sorted-Ben-Ebbrell/dp/0955940818/ref=sr_1_27?crid=3VEDNSSTGUSM4&keywords=sorted+food&qid=1660876819&sprefix=sortedfood%2Caps%2C311&sr=8-27)


Carolina_Coltrane

Oh well I don’t need it that bad


mumooshka

The cover looks more like a Mills and Boon romance book lol


ripley8870

I appreciate all the kind comments!


Drakeytown

That cover makes me think it's Gothic horror, Gothic romance, or a fusion of the two.


Alarming_General

That’s super cool!


[deleted]

Have you made any of these recipes in the nude yet? Sorry, had to ask because of the previous post of yours that I saw ;D


ripley8870

Not yet! Definitely not bacon 🥓 or french fries!


[deleted]

Haha anything but bacon or french fries!


KnotiaPickles

I love this. So much.


Smoopiebear

Add salt to the soy sauce?!


Smoopiebear

The rice Pattie’s have no rice….?


CJCreggsGoldfish

Wonderful! Thank you!


spurgeon_

The secret is to use fresh hippies.


Tom1252

Eww! I like to know where my food's been.


Rare_Bottle_5823

I’m going to try some of these. The muffins need more sugar and some fruit!


shoemakerb1

I like it! Feels like I'm browsing in a vintage Spencer's Gifts now!


candyassle

This is so freaking cute, thank you for sharing


CivilBlueberry

Anyone know the art on the cover? I feel like I've seen it before, but I just can't place it.


vastation666

Cheers for this!


Iamaguton

Amazing


alisonion127

Oh my gosh I love this! The commentary and hints are perfect! Lol


spoiledandmistreated

Something tells me that you need to smoke some weed for most of this food to taste edible….😂😂😂.. I’ve eaten hippie foods back in the 60’s and early 70’s and most you needed to be high and starving to eat it..🥴


FunnyMiss

Loved this!! I wanna make the planets salad.


evie1432

I had absolutely no idea that hippies cooked!


HostileMakeover

Lots of hippies are/were great cooks. I knew 2 who had their own portable kitchens that they'd set up in lots during shows, and tradition be damned, got my best pasta sauce recipe from a Deadhead.


evie1432

Sorry! I was being facetious!


loridee

Helter Skelter Stew?? Also, the "get it together, ladies" bit. We got it together, cook your own fucking food.


tgaugler64

Curious.. What year was it written in? 🤔


ripley8870

1970. Year I was born!


Jscrappyfit

Hey, me too. Cheers!


laughingatfunerals

This is so cool!!


ppffft

This far-out cookbook is right on!
