Curious to know what you're looking at? It's a gigantic pot of beans that's been baked with Ketchup-glazed oranges and topped with a sprinkling of cloves for a surprise crunch. Let's not forget to balance that meal with celery, carrot sticks and a bundle of radishes.
After a long day of work, isn't that what every man hopes to come home to?
Still prepping a bit of the 50s Housewife Experiment. Stay tuned!
My name is Jen and I look like that picture at all times. I am an Associate Creative Director at a Toronto ad agency, but this blog deals with much sillier things than that. I enjoy appetizers as entrees, fountains choreographed to music and television shows intended for teenage girls. Oh - and I really dislike it when people spell it "Jenn"; it's practically a phobia.

Have you ever seen the site "Candyboots"? It's more 70s than 50s, but man, is it hilarious. It's weight watchers recipe cards from that era with incredibly funny commentary from the blogger. I kill myself laughing every single time I look at them. Most look slightly less appetizing than the casserole pictured above.
I'll have to check that out, Sarah! Believe me when I say that the pic I posted was tame compared to some of the monstrosities I've found in these cookbooks (which I'll of course be sharing - and possibly trying to recreate!).
Ah Jen... You were too young to experience "The Kraft Home Theater Show". The commercials were all these wonderful recipes from "The Kraft Kitchens". They ALL contained a bag of marshmallows and a kilo or two of Velveeta "cheese" - oh, and a bottle or two of Miracle Whip just to blend it all together. You would have loved it!
