Dinner!
A much better, non-razor photo of our meats and veggies can be found here on Sarah's blog. Thanks Sarah for cooking the steak!
I love working at Six Apart
Show us a photo that makes you cringe.
Utilizing the gentle dichotomy between the nostalgic and the carnivorous, Nicolas Lampert makes viewers look twice in his collection of collages he's classified as 'Meatscapes'. A fan of over-sized meat in public spaces (see his 'Attention Chicken!' installations), Lampert creates visual mash-ups of landscapes and what seems to be large portions of meat sampled from vintage food ads. The result is an almost seamless composition that may cause you to cringe, but in a meaty sort of way.
(this may seem entirely concurrent to anything I'd normally post about, but frankly beef has never been made easy for me before this poster. also, meat is fun to look at. in a gross way. i think.)
For whatever reason, one day I decided that steak was too difficult to eat and I hated it. One time my mom forced me to eat it even after it had gotten cold and chewy, and believe me, as enticing as a steak sounds, a cold steak that's been chewed too much (out of spite) mixed with mouthfuls of milk is definitely not a treat. For a long time, on steak nights, I'd opt for a microwaved burrito instead.
After that came the highschool 'I guess I'm vegetarian' period. I think that vegetarianism was/is a popular movement for teenagers, and I didn't mind tofu and beans all that much. Then I went to China, and since I wanted to have the full experience I ate everything they put in front me (without asking what it was before I ate it of course.) That meant goose lung, fish eyes, pig..things...and other lovely snacks! So, I sort of lost my vegitarian card at that point.
But. Now I eat everything. Meat too.
Except mayonaise and sour cream. Nasttttty. But condiments are another story...
