Found Art Friday 240

Dear ones,
We hope that you've done some wonderful thanking/thinking and that perhaps you may be immersed in a uncommercial moment somewhere.  A toast to ThanksGivings: now we'd like to spread more thanking out to each day.  Carefully to butter the toast; which requires having enough bread and butter to do so with. The opposite of micro-aggressions, we could use to give off and witness graditudinals for as many angles as possible, sprung up from the surprising mush of this life.

Who would ever predict the way research may meander us on this here internet? 

Now, the following visuals are provided by our most reliably wholesome and fun friend in New Hamspire, recently featured as Vegetable Judge for the Sandwich County Fair.  Here, she is a participant who documents steps taken in order to arrive as a single bite of protein to your mouth.  A small scale "farm to table" experience (selectively cropped by AR):

We zero in on part of anything and it goes easier ... leaves more to the imagination (pointless though it is) and yet, this draws us closer in to the vital event.  Each bird was hand carried and delivered to this point/edge.

a cone, a sharp tool, a process

Plucker with flexible rubber fingers that spins.  Stainless steel  - so cold it's warm.

Naturally, feathers get used for something else

And there we are .... instead of goosebumps they are turkey bumps, legs, thighs, knees, tendons so very similar to our own.

Okay ....

We can't not love your face Tom - and when we wanted to know more about your prodigious wattle - surprising yet logical, we learn this:

And let us all who are wishing to be locovores make note of the amount of human labor involved in satisfying our thoughtful tastebuds.

Dear ones, may your world view include unexpected details and reflections.  Please share notables to: FAF@homelandinspiration.org, subject: FAF sure helps us find it again easier :).
