Let's talk about more metaphors

This is a photograph  from the first week of our apartment and this is what it means:

Maybe you can't see, but that's 6 dollar organic peanut butter = we live in Brooklyn near an organic foods store, and far from a reasonably priced supermarket.

The jam is Polish jam = we live in Greenpoint, home to the Poles!

The Red Cow Cheese, whose ad campaigns are targeted to young women who want to be thin = we are young women!

Granny Smith apple = the bittersweet, tangy tastiness of eking out a hip single girl lifestyle while jobless in New York in 2008.

Cups and bowls = presence of IKEA in  our lives.

Peanut butter and jam on toast = I'm unemployed!

Ok, the apple is a stretch, but I forget what I had in mind for the apple when I was documenting lunch.
