Kristina Gill: Impromptu Picnic
There’s such an emphasis on food and what goes into what we buy and what we eat. Against my will I’ve become a skeptical shopper. I buy only from fresh fruit and vegetable markets. Meat, dairy and eggs I buy from a small working farm nearby. I only purchase non consumables at the supermarket. Sometimes though, what I really want is junk food. And though I know better, I go buy a basket full of junk. That’s kind of what happened this week. It was an confluence of ideas – a blue checked cloth reminded me of a picnic, a little can of coke… some potato chips… and well, why not hotdogs! And don’t forget the ketchup and mustard!
