Pareidolia Project Day 26

"Diabolical Omelet, Drooling"
January 21, 2011

Ingredients:
2-egg omelet
Smoked sausage
Mushroom
Onion
Jalapeno
Shredded Mexican blend cheese
Hollandaise sauce
Cholula and tomato (mouth)

Sourdough toast with butter and blueberry preserves
Bacon


I went for a more subtle approach this time. No mention of a face.

I felt they eyebrows looked far more menacing before I plated the preserves. When you gazed into the eyes of this omelet, you say one who was foaming at the mouth from madness. Now with the eyes, the stare is vacant. They say they eyes are the window to the soul. If this is the case, this one's windows are broken.

God, I can't believe I just typed that! Pretentious! Wow!
It's a fucking omelet with toast and bacon.

Pareidolia Project Day 11


"Hooty, the Horned Harbinger of the Foodpocalypse"
January 5, 2011

Ingredients:
Eggs
Sausage
Toast
Green olive
Cholula sauce (the beak)

Again, she did not see this picture. She also didn't ask questions
many people would ask, like "why is this one sausage cut in half?" or "why are there olives on the eggs?". I truly wasn't sure what to make of that. Fortunately, I had decided to expand the project from solely lunch to lunch and dinner, thus increasing my material.

"A Pretty Fish Lady With Green Eyes"
January 5, 2011

Ingredients:
Pan-fried tilapia
Sweet peas with jalapeno
Mashed potatoes with cheese and ham
Pearl onion
Tomato and chopped black olive (lips and eyes)


She saw the face in this. In retrospect, a few friends who saw this pointed out that I could have made this Homer Simpson in drag or even a tyrannosaurus (the way the fish flaked when the filet was split). Oh well. It's essentially a disassembled fisherman's pie, except my grandparents always made fisherman's pie with tuna fish and no personality.


Pareidolia Project Day 7


"Sad Clown Omelet"
January 1, 2011

Ingredients:
Egg
Broccoli
Onion
Ham
Sour Cream
Cheese

Hot sauce (left over from a local Mexican restaurant)
Sourdough bread
butter
black olive (for the eyes)

Again, there was no mention of a face. At this point, I wondered if I needed to make the faces more obvious or try to keep them subtle and see if she noticed.
