At my favorite local bookstore, the one that provides me with all the vintage awesomeness I’ve found, I saw this book on the dollar shelf. And because I am five years old, I took a picture of it. Of course I know that it is called “Pieces of a Dream”, but sue me for giggling [ READ MORE ]
The last time I ate bologna was the 1980s. I used to be a picky kid and one of my favorite sandwiches was bologna and mustard on white bread (hold the nutritional value). Ironic that “picky” as a kid is so vastly different from “picky” as an adult. The idea of eating bologna and knowing [ READ MORE ]
Shaun of the Dead is one of my all-time favorite movies and when I read this description of Colonial Cheese (not to be confused with Colonel Cheese, a valiant war hero if ever there was one) it reminded me of - SPOILER ALERT – when Shaun’s mother gets attacked by a zombified neighbor and explains [ READ MORE ]
This introduction to the Dairy Board’s book about how to incorporate more dairy into your life is as ominous as the tiki drinks that accompany it. My favorite part is the one that references the importance of cheese and butter to one’s diet, which I certainly swear by, but I’m also no pillar of health. [ READ MORE ]
Just because I have the visual here, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this Frosted Melon Mold (frosted with plain old cream cheese, mixed with milk) might be one of the grosser things I’ve seen in a while. I also love the casual suggestion to “frost the entire outside of [ READ MORE ]

Condensed tomato soup + condensed pea soup + bits of sausage = Haunted house recipe for fake diarrhea. But you can serve it in mugs![ READ MORE ]
This gem comes courtesy of the Swift’s Premium Meats recipe book. I’d just like to once again harp on the awesome sexism that existed back in the day, which is beautifully illustrated by this dual-toned introduction to the Mastering The Art Of Meat book. The “To the Host” section at the top assures even the [ READ MORE ]
“It was a day like any other, until she walked into my office. She was a dame unlike any other. Her umbrella – could you call it an umbrella? – was thin as paper and soaked through, but behind it, there she was, chilled to the bone. So sweet, so velvety. So rich. Her consistency [ READ MORE ]
Dear Diary: You sure can get a lot accomplished on the 6 train. As I was sitting on the downtown local, a woman sat across from me after entering at 23rd Street. Within moments, she made herself at home – taking off her shoes to reveal bare feet, and eating a stuffed pepper with a [ READ MORE ]
