...And apart from a big, stomping, quivery tomato ring, nothing says "Love! Love! Love!" like cranberry gelatine hearts.

A couple more pages from inside the booklet.

I'm glad I never heard the fairy tale about bubbling wine as a kid. I would've absolutely tried it with my Mom's pearls and then... [shudder]

Did you know before today that Martha Washington served Pineapple Cherry Sundaes on George's birthday, or that Lincoln's birthday faves included Cream of Tomato Soup with Cheese Popcorn?

Me neither.

Mrs. Reynolds' neck is weirdly elongated and she also looks about twelve years old, but she's relatively calm. It won't last, though.

They should have gone all out and had the pancake wailing on an entire stick of margarine, harmonica-style.

Clippings from inside the fold-out. Clockwise: Almond Cranberry Punch, Christmas Cranberry Punch (love the Bugles™ cameo!), Sparkling Red Punch (which also has cranberries in it!), and Pink Lemonade Punch (which has the romantic motif, but no cranberries).

There's a message in all this which eludes me...

The Feminine Touch, 1953

nobody@ipernity.com (amylsacks) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 06:06:41 +0000

amylsacks has posted:

"Here are five illustrious ladies, all of whom are in the class known as Peerless Performers. All are so expert at 'tickling the ivories' that they have won important places in the honor roll of American jazz. They are, to put it concisely, Queens of the Keyboard. Each one has her distinctive style, yet all of them have that pianistic manner which is characteristic and non-masculine..." Blah, blah, blah...

Seriously, the whole back cover of this Decca 10"/EP drips with reassurance that women aren't stealing away Men's Sacred Manly Magic by daring to play jazz. Gah.

Anyway, it's a lovely design, though it has diddly to do with the styles of music actually on the record. YouTube can help you hear what these talented women sounded like, all except Ann Jenkins. Sadly, there seems to be nothing readily available about her on the 'net. More details about the record can be found here.

"Roast Stuffed Pork Shoulder."

With puffed wheat cereal stuffing. I'm really sorry.

At first glance, I was sure the pink and red bits were Fruity Ring™ cereal, but no. They're actually real fruit. (Apple and prune.)

amylsacks has posted:

What explains the look of deep calm on the faces of Our Heroes? Is it:

A) The pesky tourists are all whooping it up on some other island this week.

B) Their pomade was paid for by the photographer.

C) That giant mutant pineapple will feed all their families for at least two months.

D) Thanks to Canoe-Makers Local 56, cross-marketers were not allowed to make them set sail in a boat made from old cardboard boxes (see page 18).

E) All of the above.

"The Heart of Milk"... Uh, pretty surreal as slogans go. Or weirdly reminiscent of Dorothy Parker's story "The Custard Heart." Either way, not exactly conducive to warm romantic fuzzies at mealtime.
