Mid Century Food – Yummy!

If you have your head in a mid-century fog, you might have missed Mid-Century Menu a category/feature on “No Pattern Required”, where Ruth makes the long-suffering Tom try a myriad of fabulous (ahem, see the picture in the post? maybe not?) dishes!  The feature got so popular that Ruth has spun off a separate blog where she can abuse (oops, I meant “test”) more recipes on poor Tom.
