This picture says so much. Let's just start which Who is that guy with the goofy grin? This is circa 1970? I imagine the subject may know the answer.But what else? He's making pizza. A family ritual. Every Saturday night, followed by Sonny and Cher and The Carol Burnett Show. The way I remember it, though, the crust was my job and the camera was his so I have no idea what happened here. Oh, and did you notice? The pizza was rectangular? Made it on a cookie sheet. Continued that tradition with my kids, too.
Also, the counter top is not red. It used to be red. So, this photo must have been after a very expensive kitchen remodel. I also want to point out the radiator but I can't, really. It's hiding behind the ventilation between the counter top and the stove. See it there? Right behind the toaster?
The Toaster?! That's the toaster. I'm telling you. It's a legend.
See, now? You thought this was about about the guy with the goofy grin. (Love that guy.)
That goofy-grin guy looks way to skinny to be real. What keeps him from blowing away on a windy day? Also he has hair. The pizza crust looks pretty good though, so at least, whoever he is, he knows what he's doing there.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen counter is a puzzle because when the kitchen was remodeled that window over goofy-grin-guy's back was replaced with window that actually looked like a window, which this one clearly does not. So you can see the problem there: You can't see the window.
The kitchen was remodeled during the winter of 1984-1985, which is easy to remember because that is the season the Bears won the Super Bowl. Go Bears.
The toaster, however, is definitely the toaster.
And those glasses the photographer is wearing. Wow!
