Dad is very excited to get cake. But not TOO excited. Mom wisely doled out only one martini per course.

It figures. Forgot to add the insignia last year. Now admitting my mistake has thrown my entire filing system into chaos! :P

But it's a really nice back cover image, isn't it?

Other sections not blessed with cute little paintings: Chowders, Beverages, Vegetables, Hot and Cold Puddings, Custards, Freezer Ice Creams, Cakes and Cookies, Sour Cream Cakes, and Candies.

The illustration for Entrees and Main Dishes isn't posted, because it's nowhere near as good as these others.

Less work for me, at least. ;)

This chapter has nearly identical recipes for Pumpkin Pie and for Squash Pie. Even in the 1930s, every home cook worked diligently to trick kids into eating more vegetables. :D

Yeah, be sure to leave your wedding ring on while oiling up the bird. No way could this end with it accidentally roasting in the bottom of the pan and then getting crunched on by an unsuspecting guest. o_0

Kudos to the artist for debunking the myth that your tiny mob of fat chefs also has to be jolly.

"Braising: In Key With Hearty Appetites" is skipped. But if anyone reading this is frantic to fix "Liver and Onions-- New Style," you can message me. No problem.

Also not shown: history's most poorly-formatted and indifferently-drawn vitamin chart. No wonder the chefs got so irritable.

Or just sprinkle the dregs of a potato chip bag over everything. (Oh, wait. That was an earlier booklet. Sorry.)

"Famous Accompaniments" is the following section. Features lots of sauces with butter, cheese, and/or whipped cream with vinegar plus chopped cucumbers. Gah!

"Branburger's." It was a famed supper dish AND a classy N.Y.C. department store!!

One of the menus on the next page suggests sauerkraut juice as an aperitif. I wish I was kidding. o_0

"A vast amound of knowledge and skill lies behind the making of this marvelous chocolate. Behind the fine old formula, always so rigidly adhered to. Behind the expert selection, perfect curing and roasting, and the exact blending of choice *cacao* beans, and behind the careful extraction of that delicious ruddy-brown liquid which comes from hot, rolling crushers, satin-smooth, rich with cocoa butter..."

[sigh] Y'know... I think I'm just gonna' to walk to the pharmacy and buy a Whitman's Sampler™. I can't work under this kind of pressure. :o

Okay, I admit it. The main reason I posted this is because they used the word "Tunaroom." This is my new favorite word of all time.
