It’s getting toasty out there. Luckily, July is National Ice Cream Month and we’ve found a few easy-to-follow recipes for ice cold beverages in the circa 1965 Betty Crocker’s New boys and girls cookbook. It includes recipes for such drinks as a Molasses Soda (molasses, milk, vanilla ice cream, and club soda), Choc-o-Nut milk (peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and milk) and Woodsman’s Refresher (milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon).

I had a copy of this book as a child. The full-color photography is a buzzkill, but the illustrations and all the simple, two- and three-ink print areas are spectacular examples of beautiful mid-century efficiency.

I researched, created, and designed a 200-page book about the history and culture of my alma mater, the Columbus College of Art & Design. Today, I launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund a print run of this very cool, very niche project.

Popping out from my tumblr hibernation to repost this picture of a fantastic workwear smock.
We had fun in Chicago, which was in the upper 70s when we arrived friday afternoon. Our Airbnb was just a few short blocks away from the lake, so we dropped off our bags and then spent some time at the shore. Lake Michigan looked suspiciously like the ocean. We had dinner at a Korean-fusion place called Del Seoul (the kimchi fried rice with spam was fantastic). After Lambchop, Karen and I took a short bus ride to visit Billy Sunday, a cocktail bar with a vast collection of vintage and contemporary amari. This was a beautiful place that surprised me with its lack of pretentiousness.
When we woke up saturday morning, it was pouring down rain and in the low 40s, but we nevertheless had a delightful and leisurely morning, eating a very pleasant brunch then walking around Lincoln Park Zoo and Lincoln Park Conservatory. (The rain kept the crowds away, and I’ll take rain over crowds any day.)
