A very interesting inquiry, most certainly—the reference it begs connection to/with—Stein and the Toklas cookbook—plus Tender Buttons—a sorting out of local register, curatorially, in terms of a comparative international. With that displacement in mind, in this delimitation, its the OBJECT toward which irony is directed, which notices criticism from the outside world. In one of Habermas' latest, there is a notion of a logical moment, a "brut" of logic which might open an analysis of closed systems of the historical past. It's an interesting binary, quantum time, peristalsis and the circadian. I have a tendency to reduce German thought into a ready-made—and the interaction with Italian manufacture always remains interesting to me, probably something Weber's classic on Protestantism and capitalism would demarcate; the allowance of emotion, the quantification of spirit. It's "problematic." That's my object "ro," my ironic concatenation, toward/against analysis itself—it doesn't require displacement. The rubrics are interesting and historical, and, perhaps, scientifically productive in the future. It is going to be difficult to erase Tender Buttons, in order to elide Derrida, a project, of course, which isn't supposed to make any sense. Abstraction isn't a necessity (neither are contractions), but abstraction is useful in terms of conversation. On the road, it helps with the assumption of equality, and the basis of dignity, those displacements which require no object, historically, nor presently. For me, perfect grammar is a problem, conceptually. I'm thinking about the limitations of grammatical structure (and vowel sounds) on cognition and emotion, the big difference between Germany and Northern Italy.

I know of several restaurants that do molecular cooking. A local bar will add a delicate crust of carbon to your standard hotdog which is kind of "good" but I don't think it is that healthy.
My theory is that the molecular crowd are preparing for the soy protein trend—don't eat the green crackers, you know?
I do hope the lucky 8,000 can all fit into the bunker when the shit hits the grill.
