4/23 Meal Notes: Three deep-fried hashbrowns, like the mcdonald’s kind, garnish w/Maldon

three Tyson chicken fritters, deep fried, served w/ ketchup. Warm, quick, and comforting meal of post-industrial products charged with childhood nostalgia. Simple, tan, fatty, crispy, salty. A fair breakfast.

Salted Altar

We revel in the inherent beauty and spontaneity of ephemerality: food is magic, but it is also mortal. We strive to catch it while it is alive, Salt what can be preserved, and serve it back as an offering upon the Altar.
