1. The Golden Crown Platter may be the most dishonest piece of food in the recipe. You figure, there's tomatoes and long green things, so the Crown has to be meat, right? Or maybe a potato! Potatoes can be golden. And then you discover what it really is. You leave the room immediately.

2. "Five slices of Veveeta cut from a 2-pound loaf" may be the worst instruction in the book. Why does the weight matter? Should the slices constitute the entire loaf? What do I do with the rest of the loaf - ahhh, that's it. A clever ploy to make you buy more than you need. As if there's something special about the 2lb loaf. You don't get the same flavor from your one-pounder, ma'am.
