Tasting Lab WK 1

Testing Lab Week 1

Bread. Bread after talking about the fetishiziation of women. Now I’m thinking of bread and sex. Sex and yeast and heat and food. I am not sure if I want to eat this. But I do. It is good and salty and the butter sticks to my tongue comforting where the rustic edges had offended my store-bought sensitivities. Delicious. Nauseating.  I am thinking now about my grandma, who raised 8 kids during the depression. I remember coming home to her house as a child. She lived in a humble 2 bedroom house in Pocatello. She made her own bread, gardened, and bought everything second hand. When she died-though she lived by “frugal”standards- she had accrued over a million dollars in net worth. If you ask me her life was special kind of rich.
