Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – Me As Meatloaf

I know most of you here at AWMOK have already seen the spectacular culinary art created by Denny this week but I loved it so much that I had to repost it in my own Kitsch O’ The Day blog today along with some commentary of my own. So here goes:

As a devoted kitschmeister supreme, I can think of no greater honor than to be captured as a foodstuff and enjoyed as a most scrumptious meal. So thank you, devoted aKitschionado Denny Mclain, for molding me as a meatloaf and cooking and eating me Sunday night for dinner!

Denny has excellent taste in kitsch and has submitted literally thousands of precious pop culture artifacts to the Allee Willis Museum Of Kitsch at AWMOK.com. We met for the first time last summer.

For anyone else who might want to enjoy me in ways other than through my music, art, videos, friends or other more normal avenues through which to experience an artist, here in Denny’s own words is his blow-by-blow recipe for engaging with me as a meatloaf.

“I decided to immortalize Allee Willis in the form of a meatloaf made with low fat ground turkey.”

“I started with a blueprint.”

“Low fat ground turkey is a meat we eat all the time in my house but this is the first time I ever tried treating cooking as an art form. Here we have some primary ingredients such as feta cheese (which gets mixed into the meat), Lipton Soup Mix (thrown in for a bit of flavor!!) the meat itself, some bread crumbs and pesto sauce. All of the ingredients here get mixed into the meat.”

“Musco Family Olives used for Allee’s glasses and eyes (for the pupils). Just take a handful and chop them up but not too fine!”

“The brussell sprouts are used for Allee’s eyes. Take two, cut in half and use the rounded halves for the eyes. The zucchini you see here is used for Allee’s hair. Take a veggie shaver and shave long strips to lay on top of the meatloaf to simulate the folicular goodness that is our Queen of Kitsch’s trademark do.”

“A bit of egg thrown in to help it stick together. The baby carrots were used for Allee’s lips. Take your veggie shaver and shave the carrots and in the meantime, try not to drop several on the floor in the process. Then when the meat is mixed together, gently shape and mold the meat into whatever person you want to eat…”

“…in this case , our Queen of Kitsch, Allee Willis!”

“Please note the chopped olives used for Allee’s glasses and pupils.”

“Stick Allee into the oven and cook her at 400 for about 40 minutes.”

“And voila! Presenting The Queen Of Kitsch, Allee Willis!”

“Serve on appropriate vintage Atomic 50’s dinnerware, in this case Royal Star Glow China.”

Thank you aKitschionado Denny! I am most honored to be preserved  and enjoyed as a meatloaf. I pride myself on always looking tasty and appealing but you have taken me to new heights and temperatures and for that I am ever grateful (and hungry).

    I just read this kitsch of the day post. I get so floored with the love and energy here at awmok.com!

    I’m so glad that everyone is enjoying Allee as a meatloaf. Never in my life have I cooked (I really never cook) and laughed like mad the entire time.

    Okay, I know I told Allee over and over how she has inspired me in so many ways, I just never thought in a million years I would be making a meatloaf in the image of a friend. The ideas pulsating through my brain are endless and I almost need to take a tablet. I am already plotting my next culinary adventure.

    Love button. That’s brilliant!!!!

    You know if Susan Feninger is reading this. It wouldn’t be that hard to make “Little Allee Willis Meatloafs” as an appetizer dish at STREET restaurant!

    The very first picture of Allee and I (I’m pointing at her) was about when I had just walked into “Willis Wonderland” and finished composing myself. I walked in and immediately lost my breath!

    awmok.com rocks my kitty!
