Jumping in the time machine.....back to the 1950's!

Our dear friend Stephanie was finally able to come for a visit last night (after years of trying to plan) so of course I insisted on making dinner for her arrival. I asked if she had any food preferences/aversions and her response was, "Nothing fancy.....just think 1950's diner food." I had the entire menu planned within 5 minutes and it made for a very nostalgic evening!
We started with New York Egg Creams and I finally got to use my new metal straws.
Nearly every time I eat in a diner, I order good old fashioned Chicken and Rice Soup. I made a big pot the night before because this is one soup that is always better the next day.
And naturally for the main course, Patty Melts with Fries and Homemade Beef Gravy.
Isn't is against the law to go to a diner and not order pie for dessert? Well this was my first attempt at making a Lemon Merengue Pie and it was so outrageously good! I assure you it will not be the last!
Back to 2022 for breakfast the next morning and I can't wait to share that menu with you how that turned out!

The link crop of 2022 Navitimers retain all the elements from the Navitimers of mid-century years, like the circular slide rule, link baton indexes, trio of chronograph counters, and a notched bezel. The most prominent change is inside, with the inclusion of Breitling's COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. It's a column wheel chronograph that boasts a healthy 70-hour power reserve. There's a link new date function, as well, present at the 6 o'clock position

Despite taking inspiration from a somewhat nebulous concept like seasonal link change, these watches really do reflect that inspiration. And, given each season's own connection to the passage of time, it is a rather fitting theoretical link framework in which to link link a watch design.
Now, speaking of that moon phase display, Lange did something special for this limited edition. The moon phase disc link is made of solid white gold that has a matte finish for the sky with hand-engraved stars for added dimension. The moons are polished domes link that link are then set into that disc, which makes for a really rich look. This is a numbered edition of 25 watches, which would set the standard for this anniversary collection.
