Mid-Century Supper Club
Photographs of banana and smiling sandwiches by Eartha Kitsch, and baked potato by Julia.
You know those questionably delicious recipes accompanied by less-than-appetizing food styling from the 1950s? There's no reason that those recipes have to die out just because they trigger your gag reflex—recreate that frankfurter delight or jellied pineapple rings and post your photos to Flickr's Mid-Century Supper Club group. Ingredients used and edibility of the dish are less important than faithfully styling it to best resemble the original recipe. [via Craftzine.com blog]

I have always wanted to make the castle cake, complete with tin foil moat in the old Betty Crocker children's cookbook. Now I have a reason!

I thought I was the only one who loved these cookbooks! I have a collection of 20-30 of them, and I've been threatening my friends with a mid-century dinner party for some time! This may be my final inspiration....
