ideas keep coming

brent-ski and i have been exchanging links over the internet and we both agree a mid-century mural combining these viking ships:

with this abstract cloud:

would be hot a mural idea. cost for this piece--$300.

while earlier tonight i run into sf artist  merkley???



and we talk about the summit and he suggested exploring a microwave menu to play along with the atomic age / mid-century theme. i thought it was nuts at first, but there's gotta be some interesting applications to microwave cooking other than reheating. so i did some googling and found that there were a bunch of articles from the new york times in the late 80's and early 90's on the subject--mostly fish based stews. food and wine magazine on the other hand points me to some recipes developed by panasonic and the culinary institute of america.

would any of these concoctions make it on the summit menu? mmmm let me recipe test first before committing and pass it along to timbo for the stamp of approval! foodies: got any stories to share on this topic?
