"Baking Secrets (5)," 1944

I've already done the joke about WWII baking booklets always needing to have an aerial view of the finished food in military formation-- to show those Axis powers what for.

Or have I? Covid Brain is real, I'm afraid. :o

Sometimes Mrs. Barton places a recipe right beneath its corresponding photo. Sometimes she doesn't. Frankly, I think she just likes messing with us.

The breads all cluster together like wallflowers at the prom, hoping desperately for the filling of their dreams to come and request just one dance. It's kind of poignant.

I love this picture. You'd rarely see actual half-eaten food in the fantasy land of old-time advertising. Of course, they're too demure to use such an earthy descriptor. [shrug]

Once again, the rule is that type and animal products should not share a page. This time, the "Combination Dishes and Leftovers" heading appears on the page before the photo. Layout consistency was for Commies, I guess.

There's also recipes for Root Beer and Lemon Pop in the Dessert breads chapter. No, I don't know why, but it's still awesome that they were there. You could apparently get 20 quarts of root beer from 1/2 cake of yeast. Woo!

Yeah, you women better not get too big for your britches, just because we're letting you work in the auto plant for now. Tsk!

I've had multiple additions of this thing lying around the house for years. Only when I laid it out for scanning did I notice the "mirror imagery" on the covers.

Here are the last couple of pages (leaving out the index) from the '41 and a '42 addition. (L) Personally, I have my doubts that there's anything "pleasant" about drinking mashed up yeast in watered down tomato juice. Except for maybe the quart of water you'd need to rinse with afterward.

A really nice image, especially in an era where women's magazines were all about trapping every damn thing in Gelatine Hell. Maybe this ad was on loan from some more "manly" publication of the same year.
