Turkey and Cranberry Meatloaf Recipe

I bought this retro cook book a while ago at a pretty unexpected place, Marshall's!  But it's one of the absolute best things I've ever bought there.  I've made a few recipes from this book, all recipes inspired by the 1950's and 60's, and so far they've all been great.  
I've found that recipes back then were a bit simpler then some more modern day recipes.  Whether it was simpler ingredients or just simple instructions, they appear to be more straight forward.  
Here's one recipe I made the other night for dinner, turkey and cranberry meatloaf.
Ingredients:
10 slices of prosciutto
1 large onion
2 green scallions
2 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 pounded ground turkey
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup stale breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup homemade cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Oil 6" by 8" loaf pan.  Line base and sides of pan with prosciutto, slightly overlapping the slices and allowing them to overhang off the sides of the pan.
Combine onions, garlic, turkey, sauces, egg yolk, breadcrumbs, and parsley in large bowl.  
Press into pan.  
Fold prosciutto over turkey mixture until it's covered.
Place pan on oven tray and bake for 45 minutes.  
While meatloaf is cooking combine cranberries, juice, and a bit of water into small pan over low heat on stove.
Remove meatloaf from oven, and drain juices from pan, and carefully invert meatloaf onto wire rack.
Place rack over oven tray, and brush meatloaf with cranberry mixture.  
Return to oven for about 15 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
I saved from cranberry mixture to put on top once the meatloaf was ready.

Breaking Bad: Homemade Rock Candy Recipe

Homemade Rock Candy, you will need: 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup light corn syrup 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons flavoring extract blue gel food coloring candy thermometer Instructions: Line sheet pan with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray/spray butter. In a saucepan combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring.  Insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 285°F on the thermometer. Do not overcook it, or it will start to take on a caramel color. Once at 285°F, take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a few moments, until bubbles stop breaking on the surface. Add the flavoring, I used raspberry extract and food coloring, I used Neon blue by McCormick, and stir everything together. Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet; tilt the sheet pan back and fo...

"The Rainbow Comes ad Goes" by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt I started reading this book while in line to meet Anderson Cooper at a book signing in Madison, Connecticut.  This was truly an excellent and interesting read.  Gloria Vanderbilt had such an insane and thrilling life, and Anderson Cooper was perfect at interviewing his mother.  I definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether a fan of Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt, or just someone interested in pop culture and biographies.  This was a fast read.     "The Starboard Sea" by Amber Dermont I bought this book because it was on sale and it was inexpensive.  However, I ended up loving it, and I'm so happy it was on sale that day in Barnes and Noble, for if it wasn't, I probably would have never read it or picked it up.   This book is about the lives of very wealthy teenagers at boarding school, but the main character, Jason, is spilling the secrets on ...
