I made breakfast for Mz at my place, and she went and got my 1950s' Betty Crocker cookbook, to show how my presentation looks like something out of that (except for that copy of La Peste/The Plaguewith Camus smoking in the background).
SPARKER: I had to look that up--found a hilarious article in the Guardian about this TH ad, calling it the "What If You Were Tom Hiddleston’s Girlfriend Or Aunt, And He Didn’t Understand The Concept Of Breakfast, And Also He Might Be A Murderer VR Experience"
I love breakfast too, Kirsten—one of my first jobs was as a breakfast grill cook! The stuff in the middle is tomato, rice, roasted corn (frozen, from Trader Joe’s ) with Mexican cheese on top.
It looks like a grand breakfast! (Trying to sound like the 1950s, or maybe the 1940s.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daddy-o!
ReplyDelete(Though "grand" here sounds Irish to me...)
Anyway, it was very good!
Lucky Marx, looks much more appetizing than the Tom Hiddleston breakfast on youtube.

But did you watch it? I got on to it from the Guardian, but the full effect is best absorbed by watching.
DeleteP.S. The Triscuits are because Marx/z likes Triscuits.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast-my favorite meal of the day! The orange slices do remind me of the photos from the older cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the mixture between the Triscuits and the egg? Looks interesting and something I would make.

SPARKER: You got me--I hadn't watched it, and IT's WORTH IT!
ReplyDeleteLOL---poor Tom. Looks like he's the one who needs a pep-me-up, he appears so sad and low.
"More intensity"?
Simply not possible, it seems.
I would like to think that he was deliberately undercutting his performance for his own amusement - but we just don’t know.
DeleteOh, I like that idea, Sparker! Yes, surely that's what he was doing... :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. SPARKER: Have you taken down Art Spark Theatre?
