Not sure where to place this but here's a link to a podcast I listen to where people tell stories based on a theme. This shows a husband's point of view towards his wife's wish to keep the placenta of their child and points out that some people eat the placenta. I think it shows a connection to the product of sex as food (literally) and how some people believe it's food for the soul. It's also pretty hilarious.
I thought this was interesting. I remember we discussed how food is a way of socializing with others. And we identified Gertrudis as the most likeable character because of her love for food.
I thought this showed the kind of traditional model of femininity through advertisements. It seemed interesting that society isn't as progressive as I thought although there are definite changes. It's also pretty amusing at the end when the gender roles change.
I found this image online. It definitely shows the superiority and control women have over men in their cooking. Thence why she is shown to be a bigger figure than the men. Yet ironically, she is still carrying in the pot with him in it which may hint that she is still serving man no matter what. Or maybe it could be showing that instead of men consuming women it could be the opposite. But then the writing says like any other day.. It is describing the typical role of women
We've been talking about traditional models of femininity and masculinity. I remember also we discussed how authors use nature to describe certain things that are happening to characters. Just like, Marian plays this submissive role and Peter a superior role. It is relatable to a bee consuming nectar from a plant. The bee is dominant and on top(literally) and the plant is unable to do anything. I thought this one way of making a comparison with nature and things that occur to characters in the books we read. https://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=bee+and+nectar&oq=bee+and+nectar&gs_l=img.3...3045.9151.5.9429.26.18.8.0.0.0.136.1301.17j1.18.0...0.0...1c.1.14.img.RIctajyrqt0&biw=1777&bih=887&cad=cbv&sei=IFWYUZnaH6bJiwKHuoCACA#imgrc=Hgpm1OlnyEBY-M%3A%3Bh1r5q-oFCBGd5M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252F1%252F1d%252FEuropean_honey_bee_extracts_nectar.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcommons.wikimedia.org%252Fwiki%252FFile%253AEuropean_honey_bee_extracts_nectar.jpg%3B1620%3B1280
So I've been wanting to post this for a very very long time. I got an email a while ago (Apr. 18) with the subject "Science and Food" which reminded me of Dr. John in Like Water for Chocolate. The book makes a connection between Dr. John's science experiments and Tita's cooking in the kitchen, which is very much like experimentation. So here's a club made for this purpose with the title of "Science and Food." http://eamailer.support.ucla.edu/ViewInBrowser/?PID=22647551-D962-4CAA-B769-98DF45D9FBC5
Here's another interesting thing I caught. So I'm addicted to food networks Iron Chef and as the title suggests, there's nothing "safe" about this kitchen. Who says cooking is not dangerous. If you watch towards the middle, one of the sous chefs on the challenger's side actually has her spatula sticking into a moving blender (don't try this at home), blending manually while the blender works away! http://www.foodnetwork.com/food-network-full-episodes/videos/index.html?channel=75683
An interesting article I found that reminded me of Duncan's ironing... http://news.yahoo.com/lightbox/extreme-ironing-1369930989-slideshow/extreme-ironing-on-top-of-a-house-photo--165100299.html

ReplyDeleteI thought this article was interesting. The picture also show the motherly qualities women are suppose to have.

This video is interesting in that it shows how certain foods are deemed to be predominately a "woman/female" food:
