Or maybe three corn roasts and a wedding. Really, the point is there's a lot of butter. A lot of cookies could be made from it. There's enough butter that you need a new freezer to hold the butter. That's a lot of butter. Mmm. Butter.

Okay, maybe three or four weddings?

Simon - Yay! I'm glad this was everything you'd hoped it would be. I think that actually baseball playing pigs would be less tender and more stringy, so that would be a negative on their yummyness. Please feel free to ramble at will about seed art over the next month if you feel so inclined. If you think about it 90 pounds of butter really ought to last for at least two weddings even if you had, say 200 guests per wedding. That's still almost a quarter pound per person, which seems like a lot, but you would have to cut the head in half, or just melt it down...

KP! This is everything I dreamed of when you said you were going to post about state fair art. Crazy baseball-playing pigs (does playing sports make their flesh tender?), seed art (so much so say I can't choose a parenthetical comment), and butter sculptures (I think one of those heads could last through two weddings, but who would want to saw their own head in half)... I'm completely delighted. And now, having been deeply inspired by the very words "home cheesemaking", I think I will go try it. Looking forward to tomorrow's post.

Reid - I like to think that it's because that way they share an initial and it makes them closer. Or because seed artists are special. Or because seed artists are mocking the system. I really have no clue. But I had noticed and had forgotten to point it out, so thanks for bringing it up. I am really tempted to take up seed art after that one picture...

Also, that self-portrait is horrifying. Did you notice that the names of the first ladies are in fact the highly misogynistic "Mrs. R.W. Reagan" and "Mrs. G.W. Bush"?

The fact that people like that are allowed to vote is seriously unfortunate.
