I like food. I like making things. I like to cook so I went to a class on food culture(s) at the Common Ground Food Co-op in Urbana.
The guy giving the presentation worked at Blue Moon Farms and was cute as a bug's ear. He was really into it. Sour dough, porridge, and kombucha were all explained and demo'ed. To finish up the demo for porridge, he cooked the fermented grains. When it was done, he said we could all have samples to taste. Just as I started to get ready to get up he grabbed his mixing spoon and stirred the pot, then put the spoon to his mouth to taste it. Then, it went back into the pot. I instantly visualized of one of my favorite film scenes. Check out the last five seconds of this clip for the mental picture:
In my mind I threw my hands up in the air and groaned as the spoon hit his mouth, and I imagined the rest of the people in the room to be doing it too. He started to spoon the porridge into tiny Dixie cups and slowly everyone came up and took one. I took one too but did not eat it. He looked pretty healthy, but it is 2013 you know...
and then of course, Columbian sculptor Doris Salcedo
