"Cheemato Soup": A tribute to that former New York senator who my folks couldn't stand. Plus, some of the most amazingly waxen vegetable "life" you're likely to see this week.

Food-wise, none of this is really doing it for me, but the "Corn Casserole" dish is pretty adorable.

On the right, a beginner's guide to a swingin' cocktail array. Remember to practice with Original Cheez Whiz first, before you upgrade to the awesomeness that is Pimento.

Cheese, with its happy faculty for making other foods resemble close-ups of various unfortunate skin conditions, may be consumed with glee so long as you keep the dining room lights turned down low...

Three outer sections of a promotional fold-out published by Kraft Foods Co., Chicago, IL.

(The front features "Pinwheel Vegetable Casserole." No, I have no idea what "Pinwheel Biscuits" are, but those really are vegetables struggling for life beneath the swampy cheese product. I know because they're listed in the recipe.)

Just having a bit of fun with Photoshop. I know it's a big image, but I wanted to get the full "wallpaper" effect. See the uncredited illustration on the front of the Kraft booklet.

There was probably enough sodium in most of these snacks to kill the entire armed forces of a mid-sized nation in Europe. Luckily, the half-dozen highballs or martinis you'd be throwing back between nibbles would wash that all away.

I wasn't really raised to think of processed cheese as something you served to impress guests. But who cares? It's all so damn cute!
