I have a bright green box of Betty Crocker recipe cards circa 1971 and while the recipes inside aren't as the notorious Weight Watchers 1970s recipe cards mocked most wonderfully here, there are a few obnoxious recipes included within.

I dedided not to try to make some of the worst of the worst since one thing is that I intend to actually eat...ok...taste...what I make but I will do a few of the more iffy sounding ones and I have to make at least one recipe including gelatin in some form.

So at some point this week, prepare yourself for fish sticks

OMG, that website. I needed that laugh. Now I just have to restrain myself from looking at all of them instead of studying.

This one though: http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards/beanmushroom.html I lost it at "bad little mushrooms". And it doesn't help that that . . . thing . . . looks distinctly like something I've seen (and smelled) in the pathology lab.

Must resist temptation! Actually, I think I have a 1970's cookbook kicking around here somewhere. I wonder if it is also this bad. I'll have to dig it out after finals.

This has inspired me to create a website of hilarious pathology = food pictures, and vice versa. Surprisingly there does not seem to be one in existence. Pathologists compare EVERYTHING to food. It's gotten to the point where I routinely get texts from friends that say things like "Does my soup look like necrosis to you?" XD

Yikes! Well I could definitely use your website as a diet tactic since I'd certainly lose my appetite! LOL

I used to have one but I guess I got rid of it - bummer!

Mom and Dad still have the old Better Homes and Gardens series of 1960s cookbooks and another series from back then which I don't remember the name. However it has the BEST recipe for making hollandaise sauce in a blender

Those cards are funny! I love the Gallery of Regretable Food.

I want to make vegan versions of some old gelatin dishes. My mom still has jell-o molds.

That would be super cool! I don't have any jell-o molds, myself

All I can think is that someone some day will look back on some of our stuff and wonder what we were thinking!

This looks like a LOT of fun. I hope you do it, might help to raise your spirits despite the work insanity.
