The 1990s. When I thought I was an adult. I graduated from college, got married, and moved from the Midwest to the East Coast. I started the decade with grunge and Pantera and ended it with Weezer and Barenaked Ladies. Most of the food we ate for our project came out of a box, ready to be reheated. Toaster Strudels, Gorton’s fish sticks, frozen pizza, Gushers, Lunchables, it was fast and colorful and not very tasty. We closed out the 90s making a focaccia from scratch so that we could have something palatable. When my intrepid researcher—the 14 yr old mastermind behind this project—struggled for an activity I searched my brain and brought back the Magic Eye books. The kids didn’t care for them and they just gave me a headache. Of course we had to watch Titanic for our movie, and while it was still cheesy, it was a lot better film than Top Gun. We’re getting close to the end of the project. I don’t know what we’ll do next. #decadeproject #1990s #lunchables #gortonsfishsticks #frozenpizza #titantic #leoandkateforever #thedamndoorwasnotbigenoughfortwo (at Waukesha, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCkYFHzgejO/?igshid=1n0h6299fyg5u
