Not weaving, not food... I'm talking ecards. I just have to give a little plug for the most wonderful ecards you've ever seen. If there were such a thing as artisinal ecards, these would be them. They are created by Susan of Visual-Voice.net,...

Salon Interviews Bunny Crumpacker
Salon has an interview with Bunny Crumpacker (her real name?) about her new book The Sex Life of Food.
I'm sure the book isn't supposed to be an exhaustively researched academic tome, but this sentence caught my eye: [The apple is] just loaded with symbolism and history in that, in the Western world, it goes all the way back to Adam and Eve in the garden.
Except, of course, that it doesn't. Find the Bible talking about Adam and Eve and apples. Go ahead, have fun. Most experts think that the original authors implicated the lovely quince, which is native to the Middle East, but in fact the specific fruit isn't named.
The rest of the interview is equally fluffy; I think I'll pass on the book.
