when food was so very bad.

i actually have a collection of old cookbooks and cooking pamplets, chock full of the recipes you'll find here. seriously, i love these old cookbooks because the food is so beautifully displayed - the colors are vibrant, the table settings are oh-so-perfect, the arrangements almost, almost, make you think the actually food produced from these recipes would be delectable. as for the ingredients? well...yes. the ingredients often leave a little something to be desired. but look at how beautiful this brunch spam recipes looks. i'd almost want to try it.

now wouldn't a really great blog trace the trials and tribulations of trying to recreate these vintage-y recipes and serve them to friends...recipes such as grilled spam with stuffed eggs or corn pudding or molded pork loaf
