Nothing says "prestige" like wall to wall orange carpeting. From May's issue of Good Housekeeping.

Is it just because of the way the photo's cropped that the loaf of bread in the oven looks big enough to feed forty people?

The pot looks so angry. I'm afraid to turn my back on it. From the May issue of American Home magazine.

No pretty colors, but it's amusing and appalling at the same time to read what a kitchen full of everyday glassware would have run you back then. From the February issue of Ladies Home Journal.

Meanwhile, her neighbor likes to just conjure metal from thin air. This page plus its predecessor comprise about the least subtle cross-marketing in the history of the 20th Century. From Good Housekeeping's Picture Cookery book.

So at some point there must have been an arm-wrestling match between Presto and Prestige to determine which one got to appear first in the book. Obviously Presto was the winner. From Good Housekeeping's Picture Cookery book.

I remember a short story that explained how millions of women dealt with the perpetually late-returning boyfriend/spouse by walking into the kitchen and calmly breaking a few eggs. Which is nicely poetic so far as it goes, but then again there's all that cutlery. Who's for a few bars of "Thin Line Between Love and Hate"? From Good Housekeeping's Picture Cookery.

Guess what's in the blue casserole dish and win a prize! (Hint: this being Lent, it's likely to contain tuna or American cheese. Possibly both.) From the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

I don't know why Mom is serving what appears to be warmed, diluted Pepto in the starry coffee pot. Everything else looks nice, though. (Oh, and happy Mothers Day, especially to the people at Pyrex Love-- since they were the first group I got invited to share pics with on flickr last year.) From the April issue of Ladies Home Journal.
