GE Kitchens Are Next To Godliness

The cover of God In My Kitchen: Fifty-Two Thoughts For Homemakers, by Dorothy C. Haskin. (I’m giving one away in this contest! Or you can find it on Amazon.)

In the acknowledgements:

The kitchen shown on the cover was designed by Home Guide Inc., using General Electric appliances. We are indebted to these organizations for the picture.

Personally, I never got over that documentary we were shown in collage. Ever since then, whenever someone says “GE” or “General Electric,” I scream, “Babies born without skulls!” …I guess that’s one type of atomic kitchen.

“Dead. Wrapped in plastic.”

Mitch O’Connell presents these vintage ads presenting babies wrapped in plastic. Can’t help but think of Twin Peaks; I’m that old. Bonus points for the contradictory use of storks.
