RE: Beautiful and Delicious - Wednesday Yellow Colorchallenge
It's funny, these kind of things are high cuisine in city restaurants but for someone living a simple life with an abundant vegetable garden it's simply part of the annual cycle of natural abundance that they receive without thinking about status, money or fashionable cuisine... not that those things are "wrong", but just it's kinda funny that the different types of people who will enjoy these flowers cooked as you describe couldn't be more different in terms of their values and lifestyles. All the people in between don't even know anything about them! ;)
How true! Thanks for your interesting observation ;)
And further, could it be because of the common ground that the two poles align a bit? Like do down-to-earth homesteaders with their dirty dungarees become more foodie because of all the interest the cooking world gives to fresh organic wildcrafted etc produce, and do people floating about the high cuisine world align themselves a bit more with the principles and values of homesteading, foraging and agroecology etc because of the increased attention they give these worlds through their interest in the organic healthy etc food trends?? I think in sociology that is called frame alignment.
Very interesting--I think you could write an entire post about that. Thanks for your insightful comment---Who knew squash blossoms could be so inspirational:)
Well, the truth is I hope to write an entire PhD thesis about that!!
I wish you all the best with your studies----will be an interesting thesis
Errrrr, here's hoping! I have 6 months to write it. Eek
You can do it! Just make each day count and you'll get there
thanks
