But you are a crafter, and art is art, just different media. Even if your readers don't eat baked goods nor bake, these photos and recipes are works of art, well, dark and sick art that'll make you laugh.<BR/><BR/>I love boingboing.net. I just came across a story I think will appeal to you and some of your readers. boingboing.net links change every day, so here's the permanent link to the article:<BR/><BR/>http://chaoskitty.com/webzen/archive.php?choice=78.27.08<BR/><BR/>06.27.08: baked zen<BR/><BR/>click on the links, but start with the thorax cake or go directly to its site:<BR/><BR/>http://www.theyrecoming.com/extras/pumpkinfest03/<BR/><BR/>Looks like the insides of a burnt corpse, spinal column, ribs, and organs (a Halloween dessert!).<BR/><BR/>Other web zen links on that page: some link to recipes, some to food-related sites. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you've seen the online recipe for a cake that looks like a dirty kitty liter box? I'm surprised he doesn't have a link to that one! It's all over the net, with slight variations:<BR/><BR/>http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Kitty-Litter-Cake/Detail.aspx <BR/><BR/>or<BR/><BR/>http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Cats7/KLCake.htm <BR/><BR/>So for all you crafting bakers or foodies with an offbeat sense of humor, check these out!Jenny Lenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397375840490442351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-30000726537870325642008-06-30T22:05:00.000-07:002008-06-30T22:05:00.000-07:00Alice Bag, you have the metabolism of a young woma...Alice Bag, you have the metabolism of a young woman, you lucky thang! I could never ever eat the way you do, not even when I was taking photos, carrying around heavy camera equipment, running up and down the stairs, jumping up and down all night, dancing and shooting every night for years. The ONLY way I can take off and/or maintain my weight are raw foods, raw foods, raw foods. <BR/><BR/>It's wonderful you do so much and look so great while eating to savor food!<BR/><BR/>As Scarlett O'Hara famously said, "I want people to be pea-green with envy." I sure am at your life!<BR/><BR/>You really have it all: a great family, are a wonderful teacher, traveled, seen tons of art and music, eaten whatever you want, express yourself with music, lyrics, writing (blog), and crafts.<BR/><BR/>Is there anything you can't do?<BR/><BR/>You are a great role model for everyone. I'm loving my raw foods and yoga. I prefer the food in Frida's painting to anything baked. I had a yummy Mexican papaya last night and one today. I could live on those, pears, red grapes (or are those plums?), and other fruit in her painting. I just found out how to pickle squash (not using vinegar nor sugar)! <BR/><BR/>Years ago director Ken Russell emphasized a scene in "Women in Love," based on DH Lawrence's novel. Alan Bates discussed and demonstrated various ways of cutting and eating a fig. It was quite clear to those in the scene, as well as me, he was not talking about food, but various ways of pleasuring a woman via his tongue and her "fruit." It was one of the most memorable scenes I've ever seen, and I am quite a movie buff.<BR/><BR/>Judy Chicago's early paintings, obviously her "Dinner Party" (which I left to take punk photos, although my pre-punk name is on the wall of participants) and references "Through the Flower," are yet more euphemisms, visual and verbal, for female anatomy. <BR/><BR/>Artists, writers, poets and lyricists have traditionally referred to food and flowers in this manner. That is why the exposed squash in Frida's painting was so offensive. It was common knowledge what she was really painting! <BR/><BR/>Oh to live in the tropics and eat a wide variety of fruit and veggies all year long! That's MY dream.<BR/><BR/>Stay well!Jenny Lenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397375840490442351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-39576782979147934662008-06-30T21:23:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:23:00.000-07:00I love pan dulce but have mostly cut it out b/c of...I love pan dulce but have mostly cut it out b/c of my expanding waistline. Growing up, I'd walk across the street after leaving the Boys and Girls Club and buy an elote for 25 cents. My other favorite are the cuernitos. The ones with no sugar, just lots of dough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-68001338055872363232008-06-30T17:15:00.000-07:002008-06-30T17:15:00.000-07:00your a doll Alice!thanks much!your a doll Alice!<BR/><BR/>thanks much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-46575759613986746132008-06-29T10:07:00.000-07:002008-06-29T10:07:00.000-07:00The exhibit was very comprehensive, although one o...The exhibit was very comprehensive, although one or two major pieces were missing. It was the best Frida exhibit I've ever seen, and I've been to the Casa Azul and various exhibits in major cities before. I highly recommend you take the audio tour, as it is well worth it. We went early in the morning and missed the lines, but we saw the line spiraling down the stairs as we were leaving (it's on the fourth floor.)
