Thrift Shop Find: Dining at Versailles – French Haute Cuisine

Most of the thrift shops in Fresno have terrible cassette collections (if they have them at all). It’s mostly bad country and Christian music. But sometimes some oddities pop up that are worth checking out.

That’s why I bought “Dining At Versailles” for just $1, the other day.

Best I could figure out is that it’s a cooking book on tape…or maybe just a recipe album. Kinda interesting. Then I saw that it was voiced by Vincent Price and I had to get it.

So yeah, it is an album or a cookbook on tape. At least a short version of a cookbook on tape. I would think an actual book would have more recipes.

It’s interesting to listen and makes me want to fix a French dish for someone.

If you want to hear what it sounds like, I was lucky enough to find it on YouTube:

I Am In Love With Physical Copies [Creem Mag edition]

An issue of the rock magazine "Creem" with their mascot (a bottle of cream) zapping various drawn characters living amongst a map of the United States.

No, it’s not a cassette tape but it’s fucking analog.

I just want to acknowledge receiving my first-ever issue of Creem magazine. I drunk-bought it the other night because I had a little room on a credit card and now it’s here, in glorious rock mag detail.

I am sadly broke AF and can’t afford to be subscribing to things right now, but I am happy with my one-time purchase.

One day I hope to be so financially stable that I have tons of magazines, tapes, books, newspapers, and stuff coming to the house on a daily basis. #goals

Others dream of Lambos in the driveway, I dream of a new issue of something in my mailbox.
