Eggs

Crimson Sauce

The unimportant part of this post is the recipe itself: mix one part dry mustard, with one part HEINZ Chili Sauce and two parts HEINZ Tomato Ketchup (the gold standard of ketchups). Serve on cold or hot meats or “grand” on scrambled eggs.

What is positively vital is the manner in which the trio have executed the recipe. Two jolly bachelors and one game gal-about-town have returned from an evening of swilling a collective 33 Manhattans, Martinis and Sidecars, and are in dire need of the curative powers of eggs. And yet, note: ties remain tied, jackets in situ, hair coiffed.  Learn from our forbears.

BRITISH LADIES

Americans have long fostered an interest in well-heeled English people. Here are a few of the most incandescent from1937.

Favor decidedly falls for aviatrix the Duchess of Richmond. She looks the very type to swoop in for a landing in her Sopwith, marry the bashful country vicar/butterfly fancier, and swoop off again across the Channel for a bit of lunch and a smoke.

Cheers!
