Wescher wrote alternating recipes and romantic phrases on a place setting of off-white dishes. For example, the bowl combines a recipe for tomato basil soup with "2 warm bodies" and "2 sets free roaming hands." The dessert dish calls for "express cream, ricotta cheese" and "2 pairs caressing hands," and "2 pairs soft lips." The appetizer plate reads, "spicy grilled shrimp, 2 eyes with lashes painted." The salad plate is for strawberry-avocado salad with "2 pairs soft lips 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 wet tongues." The main course, on a dinner plate, is "chicken and asparagus, black bean enchiladas, 2 warm bodies." The texts were written in a circular pattern starting from the outside edge to the center. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
