Food as Art – and Nourishment

Some food looks better than it tastes.

Some food tastes better than it looks. Some may look interesting and taste interesting, too.

Here’s a stack of Onion Rings from a restaurant in St. Joseph, Michigan named Clementine’s (yup, you guessed it, OhMyDarling.com). This tower of Michigan Onion (bet you didn’t know Michigan is a major onion-producing state) onion rings was about the best we’ve had – anywhere – ever. Artistically, the tower also has merit and would look great in a vertical wall art presentation in one’s kitchen or casual dining area.

How about some red hot chili peppers to spice up that blank wall in your kitchen? Hot peppers are all the rage these days – just look at the gazillion jars of hot sauces available at any gourmet market. These peppers, in blazing bright red, photographed at a farm market in Delaware, are the epitome of chili peppers and would certainly brighten up any place you decided to display them as wall art. Or what do you think about these depicted on coffee mugs or maybe even hot chili pepper throw pillows.

Then there is always popcorn. Right? How about this as a design element in itself. Everybody likes popcorn and this display of Carmel Popcorn, while photographed at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, might be found in just about any beach town – anywhere. Can you imagine how challenging this would be as a jigsaw puzzle. Absolutely and, yes, this is available as a quality jigsaw.

Old Barn Near Bethany Beach, DE

Agriculture is still the foundation of America

American agriculture remains the backbone of a healthy and prosperous nation. Times do change, however, but old barns serve as a reminder of good times in the growth of the U.S.

Old Barn near Bethany Beach Delaware

This old barn, in a goldtone presentation, stands at a crossroads near the towns of Bethany Beach and Ocean View in southern Sussex County, Delaware. The weathered barn siding, the mottled coloration and the cute eye-like windows present the perfect slice of Americana as a picturesque structure reminding us of the old days of farming on the Delmarva Peninsula.
