29 Casseroles


Scalloped potatoes partnered with salmon loaf in the matching Pyrex dishes.
Opaque, gelatinous tomato aspic sat beside the crusted silent mound of macaroni and cheese.


Every entrée had it corresponding side-dish. Exotic and foreign Italian Delight shared a plate with Iceberg lettuce and Italian dressing.

Sunday's magnificent roast took center state at the card table in front of Walter Conkite's The 20th Century.

The white glass cookie jar with generic floral design was never without its chocolate chip, oatmeal, or icebox kin fresh from the oven. 

Flaky Crisco crusts embraced apples, coconut, chocolate, and banana cream, pumpkin, and the detested rhubarb.

Avocados and enchiladas were introduced on the patio to endless Midwestern friends and relatives making the sojourn to Disneyland.

Soups made from humble legumes, summer and winter vegetables, were Saturday lunch, accompanied by their obligatory saltines and Wheat Thins topped by the odd duo of cheddar cheese and kippered herring.

Tuesday’s hash took up the slack of roast, potatoes and gravy.
Highbrow, 16-ingredient Chicken Gertrude made its appearance at the Ladies Lunch.
