A Trip to the non-Warren Buffet

And we wandered off to the morning's buffet brunch.

The usual contradictions of buffet brunch.  Fruit, potatoe with an e, pasta with red sauce, rib singular and pasta with white sauce.  And all of it slopping over and into the next item.

This is your bacon before you eat the bacon and this is your brain after you eat the bacon.

And this is the bacon after you've eaten most of it.  Hopefully not your brain before you eat the bacon.

Take this blog with a grain of salt.

Sweet champagne, with humidity.   

Cool cool refreshing glass of water.

Time for dessert: blueberry cream pie.  

A much too delicious oreo crusted non-cheese cake something else pie.

Still Life With Sourpuss or Lemon Scream

If a painting of dead vegetables, fruit and game is a "still life", is a picture of living fruit a "still death" photograph?



These two guys are still hanging on the tree. But I think they don't like it munch.



The two titles are a nod either to Edvard Munch or to Jerome Robbins. Ok. Tom Robbins.

Food Groups

We're all familiar with the usual food groups:
Caffeine,
Cholesterol,
Fat,
Sugar,
Alcohol, and
Chocolate.

But this is not enough to cover all important foods humans eat. I propose several additional food groups, the Florescent foods group, Cold food and the Flat foods. Examples of florescent food include Trix and the multiple-flavored Twizzlers I met yesterday (Blueberry! Strawberry ummm!). Flat food includes pizza and fruit by the foot.

The original op-art movement was really about food diversity. Similarly, the Flat Earth Society was originally an advocacy organization comprised of manufacturers of flat foods like nan, pita bread, flat noodles and sole before getting distracted with the more pressing mission (pun intended) of developing educational materials about geology and the Earth.

The flat food group contains some unusual members. Consider ice cream, which could have belonged to the cholesterol or fat or sugar groups, but instead belongs to the cold food group. But what happens when ice cream melts? If it is in a bowl, not much. But, if you leave the ice cream on a plate or lying out on the counter, then after the ice cream melts, it is no longer cold. Further, it is flat! Melted ice cream belongs to the flat food group!

There are other food groups, you are encouraged to add them to the comments along with examples of those foods.
