Every now and again we enjoy Retro Food Night. Last time, I cooked Chicken a'la King. This time, we chose Chicken Divan. Started the party with the classic retro dip made with Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Rounded out the meal with Marinated Mushrooms, a typical 60's salad of Iceburg Lettuce and 1,000 Island Dressing and crescent rolls. I wore my favorite Donna Reed style dress complete with bright red lipstick and pearls. Sometimes it's just fun to have fun !
