Tristan is still stuck in the kitchen - at least in the beginning of the decade - but will have a new cooking guide in the form of Julia Child, who brought gourmet French food, previously solely the domain of swanky restaurants, into the home kitchen. Tristan will also have more help in the form of what she's used to in modern day: processed foods to enable cooking short cuts, including the space aged mashed potato flakes. By mid-decade, Italian became the new food trend with the onset of what is now considered the go to dinners of pasta or pizza. The end result of these food changes is that Tristan will now have more time to spend with the family in more fun pursuits. Fashion and style of the decade is influenced by the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and The Beatles. The Campus kids move from the 1950s hangout of the diner to the 1960s hangout of the coffee house, which was the hotbed of politically charged folk music and protest. Tristan's emergence from the kitchen is in part due to the rise of feminism, with Aaron taking on this first real role in cooking, although his designated cooking appliance, the charcoal barbecue, is a different beast than the gas powered barbecue to which he is used. Celebratory themed meals are served for two milestone occasions: Canada's centennial in 1967 - which has its own emotional issues for Aaron in being part indigenous, that part which was stripped from his mother in marrying a non-indigenous person - and the Apollo 11 moonwalk in 1969.
