Oh NO! Not the dreaded crunchy green-bean casserole!

That strawberry stuff looks kinda yummy, tho…

Have you all seen James Lilek’s (did I spell him right) blog? He collects ephemera, especially weird recipes and interior design from the 1950-1970 eras. He wrote a book titled The Diary of Regrettable Food – - – or something like that, I bought it for my sister, it was hysterical!

“megametablogular” is quite possibly the best word ever invented.

and A.C. Newman is amazing. i’d be sad if you couldn’t appreciate him.

Raise ants and put ‘em in a green bean dish? I hear from various people that ants taste sour or peppery, take your pick.

Ohhh — fire ant bomb the patriarchy!! And have a remote camera, of course, for the blog.

Are those beans with dehydrated French onion soup and slivered almonds? Yum!

OK, it’s called the GALLERY of Regrettable Food. Enough to give any feminists HOURS of giggles, I promise . . .

As is Lileks himself, though not for quite the same reason.

Yeah, Lileks can be sort of a pinhead, politically, but “The Gallery of Regrettable Food” and his book on design excesses of the ’70s -”Interior Desecrations”- really are a hoot. I really do have to wonder what people were thinking back in the 1970s. Has there ever been another decade with such a hyperabundance of truly eye-rending design and color schemes? If so, I don’t know that I want to know about it.

Hey, isn’t “It’s nice to be nice to the nice,” a Frank Burns quote from M*A*S*H?
