aphorism 6

Slow Food is just a circle jerk of olive-oil aficionados.

[Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, at the CounterPULSE Autumn Vegetarian Feast. This past weekend, Ara choreographed a piece to entertain the diner-donors there. There were five dancers, including Ara and Micha, with cameos by Lauri and me. We took the first course of early girl tomatoes and fed them to each other, then wove through the space and fed them to the diners directly, then had them feed us and feed each other. Lauri and I stayed on at center stage with four-foot-long wooden spoons and fed every course to each other as it came. The soup was difficult; the kale was more difficult; the salad was next to impossible, but it was all delicious.]
