Chelsea Art Galleries

I recently visited an art exhibit in the Chelsea gallery neighborhood of Manhattan. This particular exhibit  is called Foodist Temple. One must remove one's shoes to enter  the exhibit. The food art is way oversized, resplendent with gilded framing. I laughed and thoughly enjoyed the cleverness of the concept. I especially enjoyed the boxes of Bon bons. 

Sweet Tooth

Who said that I had a sweet tooth? Surely, you are incorrect!! My art is a manifestation of an obsession with desserts?? huh?

Smith Island Cake



Needs seven more layers, at least!

 Dear Imaginary Friends,

Why do the people on Smith Island, Virginia,  bake ten layer cakes?
Why not nine or eleven? Today, I purchased my first slice of Smith Island cake, as there is important research to do! I need to get to the bottom of this!
MY civic duty: to research each and every layer.

Sincerely,
Selfless researcher

Miller Times Three

The Three Miller Girls

Dear Imaginary Friend,

If you were my immediate family, you might be in this picture. These are my two sisters and myself, posing for a photo op. A certain young lady is getting married, and Susan and I threw her a shower.

Too bad you were not there to help us devour the massive chocolate mousse cake. So, I am thinking it is probably your fault that I ate too much of it. Yes, that is definitely why.

See you next time!

Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie

Old Europe

Dear Imaginary Diners,

Which one of the above is a waitress at "Old Europe"? Indeed, not easy, since all the waitresses wear dirndls, and some of the customers. OK, it is the lady on the left, and I am a customer on the right, disguised as a German frau.

We had a great dinner there last night, in Upper Georgetown. I recommend the pear schnapps, the jaegerschnitzel and the German Chocolate Cake. MMM.

As an added bonus, Ted Koppel, ABC news anchor, was there with his wife. He looked pretty old without his makeup on. I photographed our friend David in the foreground, as a ruse to shoot Koppel behind him. If "kopf" is German for head, then does Koppel mean head also? In the case, he is Ted Head! And he carries a really big noggin atop that little neck.

Ted Koppel is the guy behind David's shoulder, looking down at his menu, hiding behind a large blue napkin.

Large lidded tankards were everywhere, as were old world art and flags, particularly the lovely white and blue flag of Bavaria.

The cafe was packed with people enjoying Oktoberfest. There was a line waiting to get in, so make reservations first, doncha know.

Probst!

Your Imaginary Frau,

Patsie
