About the museum: Waaaaay back in the early 90's when the internet was just beginning to explode into every household, I was still trying to to figure out what the right mouse button was for, had no idea what a "modem" was for, and paid way too much to be kicked off of AOL via long distance telephone every night. Ahh, reminiscing. My favorite web site way back then was a great site that featured old cookbooks from the world war II era kitchen, with all of the shimmer of a salmon-gelatin aspic and gleam of of a bland parslied potato sitting among its peers of washed out carrots and turnips. A housewife, with her hair clipped in a smart helmet-head 'do, cheerfully whips up man-pleasing meals in her full skirt and pumps, whirling around her ultra modern Eames styled kitchen. This directory of sun faded pictures of sensible protein rich concoctions, though now gone, hasn't left my memory. Here is my tribute page...

"...here have all these images slumbered, lo these many decades? In small faded books, shoved in the back of some Mom's pantry. They're collector's items now - but of course, eventually, everything is a collector item..."

~"The Gallery of Regrettable Food"

(Upon researching this site I finally came across the new improved version of the site I referred to above; the guy even wrote a book!) The Gallery of Regrettable Food `3.0` version
