Above are some detail shots from a few of the things I’m working on right now. I’ve been spending a good deal of time looking at images of food and other stuff with physical properties that induce some sort of something in me that probably adds up to more than would make sense if I tried to explain it in words right now so I won’t try. I have a slideshow of mostly food related photos I play in a loop while I’m painting, and foodgawker.com is fast becoming a favorite destination. As an unexpected perk of this image sourcing, I’ve discovered a few wonderful recipes. This tomato sauce/soup is probably my favorite so far. It makes a perfect sauce for so many meals! Hope you’re all happy and well fed this weekend.

Fine confections, not fine art–that’s what I completed this week–two batches of cupcakes to be precise. The first was chocolate with coconut frosting. The second was vanilla almond with coconut frosting. Have I mentioned that I tend to be a fly by the seat of your pants sort in the kitchen? Well yeah, I like to improvise rather than adhere to a strict recipe. So for both batches, I sorta wung it. I looked at alotta recipes from various sources, made some notes and then got to baking. It worked out A-OK. Everyone who came by to stuff their cute little faces with sugary treats reacted with nothing but smiles and yums and thank yous. I was surprised and delighted to find that the vanilla almond cupcakes came out on top in a purely non-scientific taste test. Delighted because I reallyreally wung it with these. Know what else I did? I actually wrote down what I did! Exclamation point because I rarely do that. I think this is only the second time I’ve bothered to record a recipe I came up with. For all you bakers and cupcake junkies I’ll include the winning recipe after the jump.
“But Is It Art?”: the Bacon Cheese Weave
Posted in "But Is It Art?", Food with tags "But Is It Art?", Art, Bacon, Cooking, Food, Recipe on December 18, 2008 by jdhastingsI’ve seen many arguments as to the definition or categorization of art. Different people have different takes, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. I thought it might be fun (or infuriating- same dif) to occasionally examine the issue as it comes up.
Today’s entry?
The Cheese-filled Bacon Blanket (and a separate entity- the Meat Cake), as posted on the excellent (and usually a little healthier) food blog Thought for Food, who found it at Foodproof.
