Inside of the same leaflet, from the land that seasoning forgot. And don't try to tell me that nobody in Jersey City had ever heard of basil and oregano. I won't believe you.

Outside of a promotional leaflet published by C.F. Mueller Co., Jersey City, NJ. My Mom never used her wedding silver to serve us Mac 'N Cheese. That probably explains a whole lot of things.

Make the kids' footwear double as scarves, paint the storage shed, start an earring business, tithe to the Canadian Empire, con an omnivore into avoiding meat... Wow! It's been a busy day! Clipped from the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

Don't get me wrong. I love me some homemade mac 'n cheese, even when my wallet is full, but this arrangement is almost fatally drab in appearance. (Lima beans-- shudder!) This meal could've used help from the Lavender Patrol back on Page 3.

(L) Remember, America: Dark, leafy greens are only to accompany your salad if they're served on the side, preferably in the next room.

(L) "Dainty enough for a woman, but nut-like enough for a man." Uh, okay. (R) So what are they telling us by placing that meat-infused, manly entree on a lavender plate? [scratches head]

The meat makes it an opulent image, no matter which Great Depression you're in! Front and back covers of a 12-page promo, published by James T. Williams of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I lament the loss of "Nippy" as a catchall descriptor for any cheese product that strove to be more than 10% actual cheese.

Three outer sections of a promotional fold-out published by Kraft Foods Co., Chicago, IL. (The front features "Pinwheel Vegetable Casserole." No, I have no idea what "Pinwheel Biscuits" are, but those really are vegetables struggling for life beneath the swampy cheese product. I know because they're listed in the recipe.)

It's food! It's doorstops! It's all these things-- and so much more!!

Some other recipes included were "Mexican Relish" (?), Noodle Ring, Biscuit Whirls, and Eggplant Souffle' (??). Try 'em all: For SCIENCE!! Front of an advertising fold-out published by Kraft-Phenix Cheese corporation, Chicago, Illinois.

"Good cooks pride themselves on making perfect white sauce-- buttery rich, velvety smooth, seasoned just right-- for it is the base of many favorite dishes... -- Julia Lee Wright" Okay, I'd die before I'd bake a souffle with American cheese or consider chicken "fish sticks" curry. However, the presentation here is great. The handle-less gravy boat condiment whatsits, the mysterious fruit-Sanrio fusion faces on the soup cups? Glorious! (Only those brown "legs" on the macaroni plate look sort of dubious, and anyway they're luncheon meat. So what can you do?) From the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

"Cheemato Soup": A tribute to that former New York senator who my folks couldn't stand. Plus, some of the most amazingly waxen vegetable "life" you're likely to see this week.

Who else learned for the first time today that Texas is legendary for its pasta dishes?

A young Archie Andrews treasured those dinners over at young Betty's house-- except on Thanksgiving. The Turkey MacStuffing was just too weird.

At least the "blankets" help solve the dilemma of hot dogs that come ten to a pack and hot dog buns that come eight to a pack. As for the mac salad... uh, it would make a nice centerpiece. Just add a big white chrysanthemum in the middle.
