Friday afternoon.
So there I was, making deviled eggs for a friend’s birthday party. And I started thinking: I should probably label what’s in ’em, especially since one flavor has dairy and at least one friend doesn’t eat dairy.
I’m a lover of nonsense from way back. If it serves no purpose, I’m in. If it makes me giggle like a five-year old, I’m doubling down. Can I invent an opportunity to create a Rube Goldberg machine to tell you what time it is? (Yes, I’m building that.)
I have no idea how this popped into my head, but off I went to Chat GPT to see if I could generate the images I wanted.
Enter the lineup of hard-boiled criminals:
- Pickled currant tomatoes and chives
- Sardines with lemons and capers
- Yogurt with broccoli sprouts
- Wasabi and tobiko
- Smoked salmon and dill.
Their crime? Too delicious.
Their time? A one-way trip to the buffet table.
I have no idea why I thought I should pickle these tomatoes, but man, they’re really good! They’re on the “definitely doing next year” list. ChatGPT came through for me – maybe not exactly as I wanted, but I feel like they do the job.
I was pretty fortunate, though, that I wasn’t ingesting liquid when I asked Midjourney for a mug shot.
