Do you watch Mad Men on AMC?
No?
[Just a second. Let me regroup. I'm kinda off-balance right now because today my doctor took me off dairy for a few weeks. No butter. No brain.]
What?!!! You don't watch Mad Men?
Honey, clear your schedule. Grab a cocktail and the remote. Heat up a TV dinner and pop yourself in front of the TV this Sunday night for the season premiere of Mad Men's 3rd Season.
Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet and I will be. Along with a love of food, baking, and Dorie Greenspan, I discovered that we share a freaking awesome name and a love of Mad Men (and Jon Hamm)!
Jon Hamm. Swoon. He's so Tiger Beat terrific.
Well, sans the excessive drinking, cigarettes, and countless affairs. But damn, he's so hot.
So Mary and I decided to make something in honor of one of our favorite shows! Mary made a cocktail...and I, being a LIBRARIAN and all...went researching!
I went straight to the library's collection of 1963 issues of Sunset Magazine (Mad Men is heading into 1963 this season). After laughing at some of the advertisements, my eyes fell onto this headline:
The Peach with No Fuzz
The nectarine is a fuzzless form of the peach...
Ha ha ha ha. Those were the years...1963. Before the nectarine was on every corner.
Be sure to check out Mary's Mad Men inspired Cocktail in her post. And she is coming up with another cocktail too!
Coming up later...a treat from the New York Times 1963 newspaper (yes, I went researching there too. Oh, stop. Please don't judge my librarian mind. Just set your DVR.)

Yum yum yum = delish! The post & the grilled fruit! Have the remote in hand now...
I love that you went to the 1963 copy of Sunset for recipe ideas. I just started watching the first season this week, so I don't think that I'll be caught up in time for Sunday night. I have to say, though, it's a great show! I'm still trying to figure out what Don Draper is all about.
oops, p.s. broiled nectarine halves sound great!
Oh this grilled fruit looks delicious. Paired with ice cream, even better.
Gotta love the fuzzless peach:) I love that you called him "Tiger Beat terrific"...haha classic:) This recipe looks easy and perfect for the summer.
Oooh, I'll bet that is so good with ice cream. Sigh.
I've never seen Mad Men. Somehow I was thinking it was about guys trying to raise some misfit kids... maybe not.
I had no idea the nectarine was such a recent introduction to our shores!
I've always wanted to try cooked nectarine (I'm not fond of peaches cos of the fuzz) and this just looks yummy! And I've not watched Mad Men... my mum-in-law's bugging me to watch it lol I think I might just have to!
Betty would totally love those! I'm already planning cocktail making for sunday, sooo excited!
Yum...that looks fabulous.....I am getting so excited for the show...warm up the tivo!
I love the new stuff you're doing with your photos!
Yum, that looks terrific! Especially that last photo with of one with ice cream!
Bummer about the no dairy!
Happy Friday!

Mmm, Jon Hamm! I love Mad Men. It's definitely one of the best scripted shows on TV!
Those sound awesome! One of my very first posts was about a Mad Men dinner; I've been trying to come up with an idea for this Sunday's dinner, can't wait to see your next treat.
While I'm not a *major* John Hamm fan, I am a HUGE Don Draper fan!
Great idea going back to 1963 recipes!
I love love love Mad Men. It's my favorite show.
Broiled nectarine halves sound delicious.
this is awesome! i did something similar...tackled RUMAKI. betty serves it up in season 2. can't wait for season 3!
Those look incredible. I am so thrilled that Mad Men is back. I think some of those old Sunset recipes are retro, yet very ahead of their time!
