3. That is certainly enough to keep someone on a diet!
I feel my willpower strengthening by the minute as I look at these pictures! :)

4. It might not be so bad if not for that flesh-colored stuff
Do you think it's sweet or savory? Those wedges sticking up sorta look like cheese.

9. This thread is making me smile.
Remember Perfection Salad?

It's tang and calico colors come to the rescue for distinguished meals.

11. I've always been deeply grateful that my mother, the non cook,
never discovered the Jello mold. I guess slicing olives and chopping veg might have been too much work. Jello only appeared at the table as a light dessert, something it's well suited to.

Her worst was a mercifully brief flirtation with Gayelord Hauser, when she loaded the usual stuff with scoops of wheat germ and bran.

We ate out a lot until it was over.

12. Have you seen the bran section of the gallery?
http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/bran/index.html

I think it actually regards the use of All Bran.

I can cope with the idea of jello and fresh vegetables, maybe...but olives and Dr. Pepper is stretching it a bit far for me.
