Turnip and face and fall fair is a lot of elements. I think Lynn just opened up one of collection books and decided to "borrow" one of her own stories.
Also, we have to remember that without a 'real' April to be oppressed by living a life she didn't approve of and having friends who she didn't like, the choices were
a) recycling Liz's storylines
b) fretting idiotically about dangerous information.
c) ignorant bleating about fame, friends, fun and Alan being more loved.
and
d) free-floating anger about Elly being tied down.
Strips like this remind us that the scatterbrained fright running off to the bookstore to hide from her children exhibits her loving, creative side by wasting hours in the kitchen perpetrating stodgy, bad tasting meals:

I notice they just use the generic word "casserole" in this strip A LOT instead of saying lasagna or chicken noodle bake or Frito pie or mac and cheese or something else people actually LIKE.
My parents never stood behind me and criticized the way I ate, and I've never seen my niece stand behind either of my godchildren and criticize the way that they were eating- you know why? Because the adults are sitting at the table, eating with the kids, modeling the way eating should be done. We are talking to the children, asking them about things they are interested in, not sitting them down with a plate and then going off to do something else. Why is Elly eating on a different schedule? Why isn't she capable of sitting down and interacting with her child while they both eat?
Why are the children in this family always so freaking free-range?

Given the soft of recipes she does share, I think it's a blessing she doesn't tell us what she's disguising.
