Jae Steele: domestic affair: redefining domesticity. How Sweet It Is. James) Gallery of Regrettable Food 2.0. Hat were they thinking? How did they eat this bilge? Good questions, but you won't find them answered here. This is a simple introduction to poorly photographed foodstuffs and horrid recipes. It's a wonder anyone in the 40s, 50s and 60s gained any weight; it's a miracle that people didn't put down their issue of Life magazine with a slight queasy list to their gut, and decide to sup on a nice bowl of shredded wheat and nothing else. It wasn't that the food was inedible; it was merely dull. Everything was geared for a timid palate fearful of spice. Here have all these images slumbered, lo these many decades? A collector item. But why? Perhaps the main reason people buy these books is the Mom factor.

They're not really recipe books. Enjoy. --J. PS: The entire Gallery hais been resized and redesigned. Alcenia's Southern Style Cuisine. Food Network.

Butajiru is basically miso soup, but with one special ingredient: pork. The key thing here, though, is to go beyond just pork and add a lot of vegetables: enough to take it up a notch from the light broth you associate with Miso soup and turn it into the centerpiece of a meal. What’s great about butajiru is that, once you chop all those vegetables, you don’t have to work a lot to make a really substantial meal. White rice, Butajiru and one small side dish (if you like) would make a perfect, well-balanced meal. So when cook is feeling a bit lazy, it’s a great solution: an easy warming dish for a cold winter day.

Because one thing I guarantee: Butajiru warms you up!
