Rotten Food

Not that food-related illness is any joking matter, but this bizarre and somewhat hilarious story appeared in today's Boston Globe...

Rotten office fridge cleanup sends 7 to hospital

I wonder how this "enterprising worker" felt after her decision to do something good landed seven people in the hospital and caused twenty-eight others to seek treatment for vomiting and nausea. As an allergy sufferer myself I can relate to her inability to smell the noxious mixture of old lunches and disinfectant.

I feel compelled to share this article because it relates, at least tangentially to a series of photographs I made last fall of the contents of the fridge at my family's summer house; an assortment of cold cuts, cheeses and moldy fruits of various kinds which I arranged on a table as a kind of "meal".

Like the dead plant sitting there, too. The whole thing is very Addams Family!
