Really, everything about this booklet rocks. The chipper typefaces, the colors... Not to mention the recurring demand for Granny's ghost to pop in and thank you and Standard for showing her up...

Without any silverware to give it scale, that pink plaster heart looks menacingly huge.

Just a few more hearts before we bid the month a fond farewell. (I think I'll skip the Cranberry Crunch and just have a nice cup of tea, thanks.) From the February issue of Good Housekeeping .

"...Many of the berries from this plantation are sent to the two nearby Ocean Spray canning plants where they are made into delicious jelly, sauce, cranberry juice cocktails, and a thousand other concoctions that were dreamed up to tickle the palates of those who really appreciate delicious tasting food. Others go directly to market as fresh berries under the Eatmor label... "Until I see you again, 'So long.'"

"...Like other projects that ever amounted to anything, the cranberry industry has provided many headaches to those interested in it. Scientific research, much of which has been conducted right here, has produced amazing advances and far better types of fruit. Say, some of the berries I saw were as big as marbles..."

"...People have come from all over the United States and from several foreign countries just to ride the Edaville [train]. Everyone of them was as pleasantly surprised as I to learn of the many other treats that were in store for them. In the autumn season they get a firsthand look-see at cranberry harvesting which, I understand, is one of the most colorful events in agriculture. Most harvest hands are natives of the Cape Verde Islands... Put thirty or forty of them in them in a bog which at that time of year has turned a pretty red, stack a few boxes of berries near them and you have a carnival of color that's hard to beat." Well, sort of. :/

So... the "waiting room" is a parking lot. Okay. "...The cranberry game does have its exciting moments, though, for it provides an element of suspense seldom found in other agricultural pursuits..." It does look exciting, doesn't it?

"Ever taste a cranberry frappe? What? You haven't? Well, let me tell you, you've really missed something in life. I know because I just smacked my lips over one and can truthfully testify that it's about the tastiest concoction that ever slid over my palate..."

"1. Choose a light dessert to serve after a hearty meal. 2. Serve cold desserts thoroughly chilled; hot desserts very hot..."

The farmer looks like he'd rather be fishing, and who can blame him? Looks like a gorgeous day in scenic N.J. (The land of my birth.) :D

This is probably a good time to mention that I'm gonna' miss the communities on flickr like "Gee, That Food Looks Terrible." But I'll always have the "You cooked WHAT?!" tag to remind me of those happy (?) days gone by.

Kind of confusing to see "Hot Breads" mentioned in the lower right corner. Until you remember that it's meant as a coming attraction. Quick! Move on from lemon aspic with cranberry mush, and its sad ring of mystery meat.

Most of us would labor for decades to get a ring of berry with such a perfect satiny sheen. Also, on the pages I didn't scan, Chef Cran has done a lot of living: partied with squirrels, skated on cake frosting, fenced, made movies, played guitar, etc. They're an inspiration to us all.

Who wouldn't want to do The Eatmor knowing it'd give them the raw sex appeal of Chef Cranberry here?

Beautiful dish, but you just know that every time you had to wash it in the sink, one of those damn glass beads would snap off. Front and back covers of a 40-page booklet published by the American Cranberry Exchange, New York, N.Y.

Floating pancakes, disembodied gams, the Thanksgiving ad appearing after Thanksgiving, AND the decidedly unregimented appearance of those tart shells! It's chaos, I tell you! Chaos!
