He's baaaack

No, Pillsbury wasn't offering a 100K reward for the head of Arthur Godfrey because he shot an old woman in the chest. It's just another Pillsbury Bakeoff--this one advertised in the September 1954 Good Housekeeping.

In 1953, Lois Kanago won $25,000 for a cake recipe featuring Pillsbury flour. It's a white cake layered with chocolate and pecans.

This year's winner of the 42nd Pillsbury Bakeoff lives in Austin Texas. She won a cool million bucks for a chicken recipe using frozen waffles for stuffing.

Now tell me again how awful 50's cooking was.
