What are you having for lunch today? And can art, history, and cuisine be combined?

I read an article yesterday about some researchers who believe they know why the Easter Island statues were constructed where they were. Their contention is that the statues mark where fresh water enters the ocean in (underground) streams, and can be harvested. To celebrate this, I put an Easter Island statue (made out of Swiss cheese) in my leftover burrito, and added a piece of asparagus to symbolize the fresh water harvest and agricultural possibilities. Copies of photos my artistic creation are available at TheHorse.badartscam.com for only $1000 each. Or you can just download this lovely photo. What are you having for lunch today? I will put some hot sauce on my Easter Island burrito fragment.

I like it - but that looks like asparagus! This totally reminds me of my early art history class back in college. I used to bring in vending machine / microwaved burritos into class and put hot sauce all over it - and stuck a fork in it. My friend said it reminded him of Wounded Bison (which we were on the cave art topic at the time) - and from then on we called my burritos "Wounded Burrito" .

I assume it earned you a good grade.

@TheSojourner Oh, that's just a braino. Similar to a typo, but different.

@TheSojourner Could be. I don't have any broccoli here right now, and I don't grow it, so I don't know from where it would have made its visit to my mind.

I am still laughing! At first I thought it was a messed up stick of butter. But of course now I see Easter Island. Put me down for eight of your art pieces. Our lunch wasn't artistic, and as hard as I tried, I just couldn't get those chunks of venison with carrots and potatoes to pose as a baby deer. Too much gravy, possibly.

Well, how was the taste? Did you really consume the spoils of Bambicide?

@TheHorse Yes, sadly we did eat a distant relative of Bambi. And I must say it was delicious.

What a steal at any price, right? Had nothing for lunch.

That's very creative. You'd better tackle the Eiffel Tower next.

Hmm. Not sure if I can do that with Swiss cheese. I may have to consider another artistic medium.

It's a nice dish. I love burritos! Where is the Easter Island? It's nice to know about it.

It's an isolated island in the South Pacific, famous for its large statues.

It was mighty tasty. The asparagus wound up being mainly decorative, though.
