Bad news: A) this is honestly the most interesting part of the booklet/promo, and B) since this is the U.S., no Canning Doc will see you without pricey Canning Insurance anyway. :(

The logo at the bottom left says "Master Chocolate Makers." So... the Easter Bunny sells padlocks the other eleven months of the year, I guess.

Eww... Who put... healthy food in my brandy snifter?

Long-distance relationships are tough on both parties, but the magic of pork-infused mayo will keep us close, always! [snif!] Thank you, Martha Logan! Thank you, Swift!

I'm so relieved that they managed to avoid giving Mrs. China yellow skin. Yeah, I know Chop Suey isn't really Chinese food. But I'm counting my blessings.

Pork is Gone With The Wind AND it's South Pacific ... it's all things to everyone! (Including Cinco De Mayo, German Oompah, the Folies Bergere, and some other stuff I didn't copy because I have a life. Uh, sort of.)

Phantom Phowl: It's What's For Dinner!

"...Here's a collection of pork recipes to call your very own... for flavor-appeal and good eating qualities, the very answer to the request for More Pork, Please!" -- Martha Logan, Home Economist And look! She made a little five-point star-- out of PORK!

Remember, no matter what the culture/era: no one hangs around after dinner to help you with the dishes. :/

You just try finding such great quality color and graphics in that how-to about kale, silly hipsters!

"Crete Girls Dancing." Sent to Paris, France.

"...Basically, it's a device that lets the whole body of the car slide up to as much as ten inches on its chassis." Yeah, yeah. Accept one drink from a guy and then you have to stand there for the rest of the night pretending to be mesmerized by all his "device"-related bragging.

Cynthia does a good job of keeping it under wraps, but you can just tell she's incensed that Marian is late getting there with the Mai Tai fixings-- again!

Yeah, I know. At this point, mocking vintage Lenten concoctions is like shooting empty tuna cans in a recycling bin... But-- Great Dog Almighty! That poor gutted pepper... it looks more like a melted hunk of candle than like any vegetable I've ever seen...

I love how Colonial Jack and Jill are levitating above dessert, don't you?

"Strolling on deck you come across a gay performance of the Hula. (An expert instructor on board will teach you to dance it, also to play the ukelele...)" I can't figure out whether those are small really small pineapples or really big Koi on the red dress. At least it gives better coverage in the ocean breeze than the usual grass skirt.
