How luscious these writings are. All the different flavors, gradations, implications...
it's amazing how the simple words of a folktale can be woven into such varied garments.
You might expect shirts, pants, socks, and undies; but stovepipe hats, sequined costumes,
Kevlar vests, and raven's cloaks are another matter entirely.
I forgot to mention that the idea for using the cut-up technique, as well as using a folktale,
was lizzie's. I'm was so enamored of the idea, that I was all for doing two of them -- which
is what's going to happen. Challenge #6 will be in honor of William S. Burroughs, easily the
most famous practitioner of this technique. And fittingly, the text for it will come from a
chapter in one of his novels. From folktales to drugs-and-depravity… can delicious food be
made from the latter? I suspect it will be enjoyable child's play for cooks such as yourselves.
