Things I like: Flings



Not of the 'brief casual relationship kind' but of the 'baked not fried' kind.
They're from South Africa, made from maize (corn) and taste wonderous.
My Loved One says they taste like Wotsits.
They do not.

Rodchenko and Popova at the Tate

This is what the blurb says:

"This exhibition explores work by two of Russia's most influential avant-garde artists, Alexandr Rodchenko and Liubov Popova. Charting their evolution from abstract painting to graphic designs, the show includes cinema and theatre poster designs, books and costumes as well as paintings and sculpture. "



This is what I said (standing in front of a Liubov Popova fabric design):

"I like this one."

My Loved One rolled his eyes and walked away. Such an expression of personal taste without any explanation is apparently uninteresting, I later learned.
