She may be a Mad Men woman scorned, but "victim of circumstance" and "dramatic, manipulative, and vindictive child" are not mutually exclusive titles. Put on your crazypants and join me for a modern interpretation of Betty's "Around the World" dinner party from the season two episode, 'A Night to Remember.'

Pour yourself a drink and tuck in to the first course, Gazpacho and Rumaki. Like now, because Betty's got a gun.

Have you ever made rumaki? I thought it would be a type of sushi or some cute little appetizer, but it turns out it's bacon-wrapped chicken liver and water chestnuts. What the fresh hell, Bets? If I wasn't making multiple courses, perhaps I would have tried veganizing chicken liver. But in a pinch, Upton's Naturals bacon-wrapped Gardein chicken tenders did the trick.
