back in the 50's in middle class america almost every housewife strived to be an 'accomplished hostess' meaning you had a perfectly clean house, could whip up a delightful luncheon for a club, and serve such spectacular's as frosted honeydew melon....the june cleaver set....

i've got some cookbooks where there's frosted sandwich loaves!! of course when i dig them out i'll scan them....totally gagable!
