At least Helen got an actual name. Poor Bride. Also, I don't see or hear any Boss in this story. I bet Groom made him up because he hasn't found work yet and the women are just playing along out of pity.

This Dolly Madison is not to be confused with the snack-cake company that inflated every 1970s Peanuts special with ads for stuff you couldn't even buy where I lived. Bah!

Of course Helen's husband is demanding more pie! It's all she's serving for dinner! Tsk!

I've got a tip for all Lever Sisters: when cooking on-camera, don't pinch up your whole face as if the cat just used its litter box on the other side of the counter and then didn't cover up.

"...The Easy Spry Way!" Since I started re-watching *The Carol Burnett Show*, all I can see when I look at Aunt Jenny is Thelma Harper. o_0 Front and back cover of a 50-page promotional published by Lever Brothers Company, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Originally posted to flickr on January 30, 2011.

All three paints... can be washed again and again." Yeah, with all those birds around, I hope so. o_0 From the November issue of Better Homes & Gardens .

Oh, the tail is facing us! How uncouth!! From the July issue of Family Circle magazine.

[shrug] The kitchen in MST3K's "Young Man's Fancy" was way... fancier. From the May issue of Household magazine.

Working to save for college... [sigh] They start you so early these days. :/ From the May issue of Parents magazine.

This is much more action than I want at dessert. But I guess it's better than the modern-day version which also has things like donuts and gold leaf tossed in. o_0 From the May 17th, 1963 issue of Life magazine.

"Braising: In Key With Hearty Appetites" is skipped. But if anyone reading this is frantic to fix "Liver and Onions-- New Style," you can message me. No problem. Also not shown: history's most poorly-formatted and indifferently-drawn vitamin chart. No wonder the chefs got so irritable.

Or just sprinkle the dregs of a potato chip bag over everything. (Oh, wait. That was an earlier booklet. Sorry.) "Famous Accompaniments" is the following section. Features lots of sauces with butter, cheese, and/or whipped cream with vinegar plus chopped cucumbers. Gah! (Originally posted to flickr on January 31st, 2011.)

"Branburger's." It was a famed supper dish AND a classy N.Y.C. department store!! One of the menus on the next page suggests sauerkraut juice as an aperitif. I wish I was kidding. o_0

Skipping past "Roasting: Modern Symphonies For Mealtime." Features the thrilling sub-chapters: "Meat Loaves are Roasts," and "Calling For An Encore" aka leftovers.
