Seashores Icosahedron


Spent last night constructing a Regular Icosahedron from a beat-up copy of A Golden Guide: Seashores. There are some lovely bivalve diagrams.
The instructions were in Unit Polyhedron Origami by Tomoko Fuse.
I have a falling apart Essential Fantastic Four Volume One
that is just screaming to be turned into a 90 unit Truncated Icosahedron.

Pigs in Blankets



Got this recipe from the 1957 Betty Crocker's Cook Book for Boys and Girls. If I had seen this image as a child I might have never eaten Pigs in Blankets again. Too bad there's no Chicken a la King recipe. I would love to see the drawing for that.

I wonder if tofu dogs fall into the weiner or the frankfurter family?


Pigs in Blankets + Potato Salad = Yum.
