This project is about how we live and think by food. Junk food, homemade, and how junk food can be the beginning of a real food culture, in all explanations of the term.

Cheesy Potato Cups
Recipe from: Joy of Gardening
Cookbook
by Janet Ballantyne
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Baking Time: 20-30 minutes
Makes: 6 servings (2 per person)
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onion
3 cups mashed potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saute pan, and saute the onion until limp, 3-5 minutes. In a bowl, combine the onion, mashed potatoes, eggs, and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Brush 1 dozen nonstick muffin cups with butter. Press the mashed potatoes into the cups, making the sides and bottom 1 1/4 inch thick. Brush the potato cups with melted butter. Bake the potato cups for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. The potato cups will slip out of the muffin tin easily. Fill the cups with hot vegetables and serve immediately.

Lyrics from Peaches
Movin’ to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches
I’m movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat me a lot of peaches
I’m movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches
Peaches come from a can they were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way I’d eat peaches everyday
Sun soakin bulges in the shade
