Food Sculptures
Well, the sun is shining here in Texas and beginning to warm things up a bit. Soon it will be time to think about Easter goodies and what to serve for a festive dinner. To give you some ideas on the festive side, here are a couple of clips from the archives of British Pathé News. The first, from 1957, features easy food decorations by Fanny and John Craddock:
The second, from 1968, features some more elaborate creations by chefs in a Japanese restaurant in London:
And here's Chef John Mitzewich from 2010 with a delightful apple swan - my best friend M.P. made one of these a while back, and it's a really cute table decoration, if you have the patience and the fine motor skills to fool with it, which I'm afraid I don't:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
.
We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.
and welcome to the Blue Truck, a blog for mature gay men with news and views on gay rights, history, art, humor, and whatever comes to mind. Plus a few hot men. The truck's all washed and gassed up, so hop in buddy, let's go.
Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
