No. Thinking that Green Goddess is something different. This contains
whipping cream, confectioner's sugar, avocado, orange rind and lemon
juice. Not quite certain why it's orange rind rather than lemon rind.

NOnonononono! This is wonderfully weird. Macaroni and cheese with wheat
germ and a salad made of raspberry gelatine, raspberries (frozen),
whipping cream, cream cheese and marshmallows.

There was another book 'The Southern Cook Book'. Lacking any such tome,
picked that up too. Some edible recipes in there.
