This one inspired those medallions that everyone's divorced dads wore to Studio 54 in the mid-1970s. (Originally posted to flickr on Feburary 3rd, 2011.)

I guess you sprinkle on the vitamins at the end, like croutons. (Originally posted to flickr on Feburary 3rd, 2011.)

Yum! Every fruit salad should start life looking like a pinball game. (Originally posted to flickr on Feburary 3rd, 2011.)

One year left to enjoy fresh food before The Great Depression hits. o_0

All 36 pages are die-cut so they're round at the bottom. (Did this make it hard to prop the instructions up while fixing the dressing?) Published by Corn Products Refining Company, New York, NY. (Originally posted to flickr on Feburary 3rd, 2011.)

I'd really like to go back in time and talk to whoever thought "Mutation" was a great name for a house of fashion. Also, I'm pretty sure the real reason Dad swooned is because he was about to fly to Paris by himself and they caught him. From the September issue of Good Housekeeping .

Nowadays, all the ships are named after different virus variants. :/ From the March 31st issue of The New Yorker .

Not quite as lifelike as those beauty salon-bust play sets from my childhood. Close, though. From the March issue of Good Housekeeping .

"Coffee-Pot Coffee"... as opposed to what? "Golf-Bag Coffee"? "Paint-Bucket Coffee"? [sigh] From the October issue of Sunset magazine.

I left out numerous other pages, including the finale where either Sound or Sure is weeping over a collapsed cake. I hate to end sweet things on a sour note.

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 (Originally posted to flickr on January 29th, 2011)

The Farming Cherubs didn't make it in to work today. I fear for the lives of everyone in that field.

...Perhaps it's because nobody wants most of a stranger's bare flesh this close to their food? Seems risky for the chefs, and unsanitary for the diners.

"So here are baking secrets, sound and sure..." Maybe Sound and Sure were the baking cherubs' real names. They never caught on like the Campbell Kids did. I wonder why...

I hope that backdrop's just strawberry jam. o_0 Front cover of a 36-page promotional published by General Foods, Inc.

Once everyone's chugged at least three bottles, it's off to church! From Sunset magazine.

Same author and publisher as previous photo. "Elmwood, H. 103 (261.5) Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y., USA Photo the artist" Many more versions and lots more history at The Tate .

From A Concise History Of Modern Sculpture by Herbert Read, 1964, Published by Frederick A. Praeger, Inc. "Bronze. H. 64 1/2 " (163.5) Collection W. J. Keswick, Glenkiln, Scotland Photo the artist" Sorry for the distortion at left. This is a thick, heavy book. Not easy to press flat on the scanner. But I really wanted this photo online, because it's an unusual view. There's something special about seeing what the sculptor himself wanted us to see when he arranged a picture. The Tate's website has lots more to see and learn for anyone who's interested.
