vintage postcards
You're busted! The jig is up! This is the end of the line for you! Your carrots are cooked? What??
In French 'les carrottes sont cuites' means that it's all over rover. This expression always has me rolling:)

I am going to Germany this morning! I'll be back on line to comment on blogs tonight:)
Oh, my … That brought back all the horrors of the new, fangled "processed foods" of my youth in the 1960s, Marie.
Everybody stopped buying fresh local veggies and started buying intensively farmed crap in tins and jars, full of preservatives.
Ewww!
I'm off to the kitchen to munch a real carrot and get rid of the awful memories.
Have a boffo time in Germany!
Marie, It's hard to believe that with all of the fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables available today that canned fruit and veggies still sell. Hope your travels to Germany go well. David
Umm... What is that laid across the bowl of diced carrots? It's kind of freaking me out. Although Jacob would probably eat it. ;)
I can't wait to use that expression on my kids! "Who painted the t.v.?? Your carrots are cooked!"
Good morning Rebecca! Come on over to the Manor...there's an award waiting for you! :D
Those aren't really postcards, are they?
Another great French saying for me to memorize! It's a bit odd, but I guess so is saying someone's "goose is cooked". I agree with Dive that the thought of canned veggies is pretty horrible. Luckily I never had to eat canned veggies as a kid in the 60s and 70s because my mom had a garden! Hope you had fun in Germany -- were you there hunting postcards?
ha ha, here we say 'your goose is cooked', meaning the same thing.hope you find some interesting cards in germany...btw, would you like me to send you some from england if and when i see them?
Marie, have a nice time in Germany or your goose is cooked :-)
What is that raw goat leg with rubber bands around it doing on that dish of carrots? With food pictures looking as they did back in the 40's and 50's it's a wonder anyone ever bought any advertised food product.
