In my readings this week, I switched topics somewhat. I am now reading the book called Consuming Passions. This book is more like short stories of people’s personal experiences with food. As we discussed in seminar this week, people interact differently with each other when they are in different spaces. I never really thought of us interacting differently, but it is so true. The way I interact with people in  classroom versus my kitchen are totally different because of the space and the vibe. I believe people interact with food and have different connotations with it, because of specific memories they hold with it. For example a lot of people like white rice, it is somewhat of a staple for many.  To me white rice is disgusting because I link it with specific memories to when I was a child and it reminds me of certain things. When I taste it I just remember my parents trying to force me to eat it as a child and I HATED the taste. Even though my taste buds have radically changed since I was a child I still can’t stand the taste of white basmati rice. In Consuming Passions it tells stories of people and integrates recipes into it.  I enjoy this book quite a bit and its very similar to Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant. When I finish this book by Friday I plan to cook a recipe out of it!

I visited the Seattle Art Museum on Tuesday and after looking piece of art I just so happened to find one thing that directly relates to my project! Well there were quite a few things that i seen while I was there that I felt had some connections to my project.

When I entered the gallery on the Egyptians I came across something that I had remembered reading about a few weeks ago when I was reading Six Thousand Years Of Bread (Jacob 2007).

I was looking at a display case that was showing that they have for death and afterlife. I read the little plaque the museum had put up giving a small description about Egyptian death and afterlife.

Inside that case I seen two small figures that displayed hieroglyphics inscribed on them. After I read the plaque about death and afterlife I suddenly remembered that

the Egyptians believed it was important to let the dead know about the type of life they lived and to let them know who they were. They did this by painting pictures in the tombs, the pictures were also there to humor the dead and to ward off bad spirits. The pharaoh received bread that linked him to the poorest of his people, which all of the were at least granted bread, water and sacrificial barley.
