Food Art Death

No, you didn't read that wrong. Food, art & death - what could they all have in common. Food & art - sure, any great chef will tell you food is art. Food & death - sure, any great poisoner will tell you food can lead to death. Come to think of it, a lot of doctors will tell you the same thing. But all three together...

Tasha Marks, a food historian makes edible art. The piece that caught my attention was a chocolate skull. There you have it, food, art & death.

Not that she limits herself to death, she makes marzipan bees and frankincense sweets, ambergris lozenge and...  well you get the idea. Ms Marks runs a boutique food company called Animal Vegetable Mineral.

She talks about using food as art as combining the silly with the cerebral. To see more about her food adventure check out the BBC interview with her.

Food inventions

Food, glorious food!  
What wouldn't we give for  
That extra bit more -- That's all that we live for  
Why should we be fated to  
Do nothing but brood  
On food, Magical food,
Wonderful food,
Marvelous food,  
Fabulous food. -- Oliver (musical)

You guessed it the topic for today is food inventions :)

I know Mythbusters has tested the ice bullet - but what about the chocolate one?

 Then what about this for breakfast? One little robot that does it all. (link this this & rest)

Naturally after breakfast you're going to need a cup of coffee, but the last thing you want is for that to interfere with Twitter or your latest text. Trying to balance them all with out help could be disastrous.

 Then lunchtime rolls around - too busy to stop work, here's the answer. This one I want. The number of times I have to turn my keyboard upside down & shake out the crumbs (sigh)

 At last time for dinner. Want to talk, watch a movie, read... whatever, now you don't have to worry about holding your phone, your crockery can do it for you.

Finally, after all that, it's time for dental hygiene. Can't take the time to brush your teeth, why not wear one of these - it's not creepy at all.
