I was in an antique/junk shop last week, looking for yet another bookcase, and happened upon a silver-plated cradle designed for serving jellied cranberry sauce in all its can-shaped glory. I thought of you.

I admit, I was kind of hoping you'd forgotten, but this could be worse, really.

WTF? Bananas? Marshmallows? In a Waldorf salad? (Try to picture me in full-on spluttering outrage mode a la Basil Fawlty.) That's even worse than the color of the lettuce.

And here I thought those marshmallows were chunks of cheese...

There's no Jerk Chicken in the collection... I will not deviate from my plan... you can't make me.

Lovely. This would be a wonderful side for my mother's receipe for Beef Stroganoff from the Beach Club, Santa Monica. I'll have to break out her old copper chaffing dish to serve it in...oh, and wear pearls!

I didn't realize that Waldorf salad was so involved, with eggs and double boilers and all of that. It sounds too good to be new!

Surly, I am more than a little concerned that this photo is making me hungry. :)

Waldorf salad was one of the first things I ever made in Home Ec. Even then I couldn't believe how bad it was compared to the salads my mother made. The picture is truly puke-worthy.

That's disgusting.

I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but that photograph makes a Waldorf salad look even worse than it actually is in person.

I thought I knew what Waldorf salad was... I was sorely mistaken. This is horrifying. So. Horrifying. Buttercream dressing? Lemony Banana bits? And for God's sake, who invited mini marshmallows?!
