Happy New Year to all! I did it. I have made it to my 100th post. Compared to my very first post there is no way I would have made it to 100 posts if I kept that format going. I'm almost embarrassed but that shows how comfortable I have become with my writing since I started this. It's almost like I just showed off my myspace page or something.
I could have done a compilation or Best of 2012 post, but really how could I have chosen what is best or in the case of the subject matter at hand, the worst? I'm just going to close out the 1974 Weight Watchers recipe card collection and stack it among the rest of my recipe card boxes.
The future of The Bad and Ugly of Retro Food in 2013 will remain the same. I might tighten things up and add some tabs in my layout. Other than that, I have plenty of material to keep me going for months.
Thanks for a good year. Even if I started it in May. I took a baby step approach. I started small and found my niche. That's what is important to me. I'm not looking at this as a money making opportunity or anything like that. It's just fun and as long as it stays fun then I will continue to obsess over maggot rice, roundworms, diseases, turds, and any other juvenile description!
Again, Happy New Year! I am not going to be lame and say "see you next year!"

This has been featured dozens of times on retro food blogs. But the biggest wonder is still what this pâté en masque hiding beneath the radishes and greens and gentle glaze? |

Few things are as cavalier as spinach and tuna. Really. I can't think of too many. |

Put that damn lid back on that! Nobody wants to see it or smell it! |

Wow this saps all of my energy. At least add some radish slices or something. |

Which will it be? The Skinny Devil or the Slim Student? |

There's no way to make veal look like anything but a sad and depressing reason to want to never eat again. Even with the dominoes. |

The pineapple on the left gives the surprise away. It's a chowder with pineapple in it. Clutch my pearls! I'm shocked. I think I would not be pleasantly surprised by this at all. |

There's that pink again. Only this time it was so bright, my scanner could not compete with the awesome hue. |
Again, Happy New Year! I am not going to be lame and say "see you next year!"
