I ran across this advertisement on flickr.com today -
It's for Swift's Premium Table Ready Meats and it tells the story of Bill coming home for furlough. This inspires Mom to whip up a batch of Furlough Fixin's, which, ultimately is a plate of cold meat arranged about a grouping of "carrot flowers" which has been added to "glamorize the meat platter". Mmm - meat platter and carrot flowers. No wonder sis enlists as well before the end of the story. You should click here to see and read the large version - LARGE version
One very odd addition to the ad is this:
What the hell does that mean? Perhaps this is something that only folks who lived through WWII can relate to. It seems macabre to me.
In any event, I would like to post more here on several other topics, but I must get back into the studio. I finished this work yesterday -

Now people on the West Coast can freak out about drones too
