*MAKING PASTA
It was my first time to make pasta.
I had to do some experimental work first to get to know more about it's drying-habits wich are a bit wilder than I expected.
But on my third take I managed to moderate the pasta's wild drying-character and got almost plane pages for my book.
WRITING A BOOK
The book's title is "eating the book"
1.
The words can be eaten, they are tasty
Every word has a taste, a consistancy, a smell
2.
The word itself is raw,
it's taste is pure
but one can steem it, it can be flamed,
blended or frozen
3.
When mixing words together the taste becomes art
Cooking a book is a 6 course dinner.
A poem is dessert, is wine, is soup or is an oyster.
4.
The idea of eating the book is about experiencing
a theoretical composition in a physical
and emotional way.
5.
It's a mind game. It's human.
6.
exercise 1:
Write a word on a vegetable and eat it.
Taste the word.
7.
exercise 2:
Choose a poem and analyse it's taste.
Make it a recipe and cook the poem.
How does it taste?
8.
exercise 3:
Take a random word and prepare it:
steem it with milk and cardamom
grill it with white pepper
freeze it with strawberries and violets.
9.
exercise 4:
print out a phrase that is meaningful to you.
When eating the paper concentrate on it's taste
10.
exercise 5:
Eat a book.
You know you want to.
EATING THE BOOK
The book was good.

An eatable book, such great exercises!
Very very nice!! I hadn't thought of pasta for books, but they wouldn't have the mould problem my bread book did if it was dried correctly.
What did you write on it with to maintain it's edibility? Lead pencils a no I would have said...
It really did look delicious, and the writing was poetic too a masterpiece - have lots of votes!!!
Haha, I didn't think about the lead! I took a normal pencil, I don't know, I think they are not made with lead anymore, are they? Whatever, the book was good, who cares about the lead!
Graphite. Usually graphite and clay. You might have a little extra iron in your system but realistically you'd have to eat like... the whole pencil...to have an impact. And even then might not.
They've never had any lead in them; the word "lead" in this context refers to the fact that when graphite was first discovered in the sixteenth century it was thought to be a kind of lead rather than a form of carbon.
On modern pencils the number (as in number two pencil) tells you the approximate ratio of clay to graphite, although I don't think it's as straightforward as #2 meaning 2:1 or anything like that. But higher numbers mean harder pencil leads, which have more clay.
I didn't know that, thanks! Now I can eat my pencils!
Wow, so poetic and also tasty looking.
this reminds me of the Raw Shark Texts.
that's awesome. Really nice-looking pasta for your first time too.
Milk and Cardamom! Milk and Cardamom!
