What are eating? Roundup #2

Banquet: A Feast for the Senses has been up for a month now and the bulletin boards in the community feedback zone are beginning to look festive. Entries posted up include an essay titled "Neighborhood Bounty" by Robyn Hetrick, about fruit-picking and the continuity of lives on her Pasadena street, and a comment by a 5-year-old visitor stating, "I like to make pancake with mix." Her mother added that she and her daughter were able to laugh at the imagery in the exhibition which they found to be "accessible at multiple levels," and that they "loved the Aoshima (noodle) panel and sushi sculpture."

Although essays and short comments were the majority, we also received a recipe for "Chinese tea eggs" ( see here) as well as a magazine photo showing wineglasses coming together around a table with the evocative caption: "At my table/ I set a table for surprise/ I serve opinion and sometimes fact/ I simmer good conversation." Thank you, Anonymous!

A second prize drawing will be held for the next round of entries after January 11, 2007. Prizes include: two $50 meal vouchers for Japon Bistro in Pasadena; one $40 gift certificate for Tibet Nepal House, Pasadena; one $50 coupon for Chan Dara Pico (Thai) restaurants at their Larchmont and West LA locations.

Hi,

Can you tell me what the magazine photo was for? I remember to have seen it somewhere, but unable to recollect what the ad was for.

Thanks In advance.
