• Martha Esersky Lorden recalls the cake-mix desserts of the 1950s.
• What’s it like to revisit an Israeli commune where you once spent an idealistic summer?

• Netflix Instant Choice: “Lord Love a Duck.” A black-comedy/satire of teen America (as well as a spoof of American teen movies) circa the early ’60s — think “Dr. Strangelove” meets “How to Stuff a Wild Bikini” — George Axelrod’s comedy holds a special place in many viewers’ hearts.  At its worst, it’s frenetic and scattershot; at its nutty best it’s high comedy of a very dizzy sort. Tuesday Weld is perfectly amazing as the sexy-banal girl at its center.
