I guess it's good that gelatin is starting to relax its iron grip on U.S. salads at this point. But they're still overthinking it. Just set out some sliced pears with some nice cheese and move on. Yeesh! Slightly enlarged to show detail. (Originally posted to flickr on February 13th, 2011.)

It's either the upscale or downscale version of Melmac. I'm not sure which. From June's Good Housekeeping.

Going counter-clockwise from the left: From the May 1936 issue of American Home magazine. From the October 1945 issue of House & Garden. From the November 1960 issue of House Beautiful (enlarged to show detail). Finally, from the July 1962 issue of Everywoman's/Family Circle. That first one was originally posted to Flickr on June 11th, 2011. Since then, I've actually acquired some of those pie plates for myself, but I still haven't tried the double-up piecrust trick. I use 'em mostly for roasting vegetables.

Some clippings from the recipe section (enlarged to show detail), because everyone needs more floating heads and casserole dishes stuck to clock faces.

Who else was bummed out when they got their Space Saver home, only to find out that its lid didn't actually defy gravity? [grumble] From the June issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

"But, Mom! This coat's too hot for summertime!" "Just hush and worship the magic plastic discs, Susie!" (And, from the last three pics featuring humans, do you get the feeling that one woman did all the modeling for every ad that appeared in the Fifties? Yeah, me too.) Clipped from the June issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

I don't understand why Melmac-tossing never made it as an Olympic event. [sigh] From the May issue of Better Homes & Gardens.

Oh, just a few crumbs of painted plaster cherub and a tiny bit of silk fern for me, please. I had a big lunch. Really! From the April issue of House Beautiful magazine.

Nah. What she's really wishing for is a family member who'd load and unload the dishwasher without constant prodding. From the November 30th issue of Life magazine.
