12/365 : Homage to Betty Crocker - 08.16.09
I've been reading this crazy interesting book about Betty Crocker. I'm planning a detailed paper/blog post on the subject, but let me tell you: I'm sort of falling in love.
Still, I do share the sentiment of Louisette Bertholle's character's chagrin in the movie, Julie and Julia. When encountering a recipe from the very book in my hand, she exclaimed, "What eez Marshmallow Fluff?!"
My grandmother owned a copy of Betty Crocker's Illustrated Cookbook, and many of my favorite recipes came from it: Swedish Tea Rings, for instance, and glazed carrots. When they re-released the book I immediately bought a copy, and then bought a copy of the illustrated cookie cookbook, too.
As a vegetarian and a woman of the modern age, I don't use many of the recipes, but I am one to appreciate the importance of history. I like to keep a little bit of it alive with my reinterpretation some recipes from this book.
Betty set out to assist the modern young wife in the 1920s. Here's my homage to her with my (poor) impersonation of the modern young wife of the 1950s.
Of course, given it's 2009, I'm not defined as somebody's wife. No man expects me to keep him and his stomach happy. I work long hours and live with my boyfriend. Betty doesn't help me keep a man faithful, but she does occasionally save me time and money. Saving time and money, that will never lose its relevance.
#5 Gradually Make it So Your Cat Must Leap through the "Ring of Fire" Hoop to Get the Reward
This is the 5th one in a short series of five photos. If you are starting here, you are starting at the end and might want to seee the whole little set of 5, instead. I made a "ring of fire" with an embroidery hoop and some red cellophane.
I increased the distance between the two chairs, and it may not look like it, but he is a little bit airborne in this picture. I'm going to go see if I can find an even better one, but it is hard to hold the "ring of fire" and set up the trick, and get him squared away, and then catch the action with my camera.

For the What's in the Background (group), there are all kinds of things. Compact Discs, a Pillsbury Poppin'Fresh Dough Cookie Jar Box, an old Betty Crocker Cook Book, a Memory Box from 35 years ago, a Japanese Metal Lantern made into a hanging lamp (but not hanging right now) and a picture of my granddaughter, Anna Leigh, not even one day old at the time.
