I love GrowABrain. it must be the most eccentric and fascinating blog on the internet, making it the opposite of this one. I’ve linked to things I saw on Grow A Brain more than any other corner of the interwebs. My shining moment as a food blogger and of randomness hunter was when Hanan linked to lil ole me (it was this post, here).
Hanan, the growabrain guy, has unearthed another gem for food related miscellanea, which seems to have come from the “Free Agent March 1987 (a Portland Oregon alternative newspaper), Republished in the Utne Reader Nov./Dec. 1993″

notes for the Sartre Cookbook
October 10
I find myself trying ever more radical interpretations of traditional dishes, in an effort to somehow express the void I feel so acutely. Today I tried this recipe:Tuna Casserole
Ingredients: 1 large casserole dish
Place the casserole dish in a cold oven. Place a chair facing the oven and sit in it forever. Think about how hungry you are. When night falls, do not turn on the light.
While a void is expressed in this recipe, I am struck by its inapplicability to the bourgeois lifestyle. How can the eater recognize that the food denied him is a tuna casserole and not some other dish? I am becoming more and more frustated.
