There was a familiar song by Dusty Springfield played at the end of last Sunday's episode of Mad Men. It's called You Don't Have To Say You Love Me and here it is -

Hope you enjoy hearing it again as much as I did. They always have good songs on the show.

A Little Kiss
Hope everyone was able to watch the two hour season 5 premiere of Mad Men last Sunday night. I thought it was great!! Here are some videos from AMC's webpage -

You might want to watch these videos after you've seen the episodes in case you are worried about spoilers. You can watch the entire premiere episode online from the AMC website for a limited time.
The video about the costumes is interesting - the show has a wonderful costume designer named Janie Bryant.

Seek ye first, the Kingdom of God
I had posted the video for this song from the Cosby Show a long time ago and I noticed today that it's now marked "private." Here it is again (although I don't know if it will be allowed to stay on here) -

Mad Men Cookbook
There is an unofficial Mad Men cookbook called The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook: Dine like Draper and Drink like Sterling: Recipes to Satisfy a Mad Men Appetite written by Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin.
Here is the review from goodreads-
The appeal of AMC's award-winning period drama Mad Men, shortly to begin its fifth season, lies as much in its painstaking portrait of 1960s America as in the emotional lives of its characters. In The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook, Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin explore the show's culinary backdrop, from the food we see on the table at Sterling Cooper power lunches to the dishes Betty serves at Draper dinner parties. With more than 60 recipes, photos, and other images all drawn from the period in which Mad Men is set, The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook is perfect for appreciating the role food and drink play in the hit series or for throwing your own historically accurate Mad Men-inspired cocktail party.
* Find out why Betty might have chosen her "Around the World" dinner party theme; plus why Don’s Heineken ad campaign would have been so well-received by the public; and try a gazpacho from Spain, using a recipe Betty herself might have.
*Learn why Sardi’s, the restaurant where Bobbi Barret and Don celebrate selling her husband’s new pilot, was a likely location for post-TV deal celebration, and make Sardi's famous steak tartar for yourself.
Includes a color photo insert of 16 dishes, plus additional black and white photos and other images of bars, restaurants, and food advertisements from the 1960s.
Looks like it's worth checking out. I wonder if my library has a copy.
