Throw the accordion on the grillEarly American Cookbook Entry:
1.) Hit food on head with hammer.
2.) Throw on fire.

Architecture in the ’70s reflects the family spiritual encentives of that time period and often illustrates the monotonous homogeneity we live in today. Take, for instance, the family fire.

Is your kitchen centerpiece a fireplace with built in grill? No? Where do you keep your fire? Where do you cook food you’ve just hit on the head with a hammer? What do you gather around when the youngest male child of the clan unpacks his accordion and stumbles through Umbrella Man and Ain’t She Sweet?

It’s both amusing and somewhat sad. Amusing because…well, come on! Look at the dorky little kid serenading big brother while he throws a couple of freshly hammered hunks of “food” on the fire. But then there’s the sad part. We traded fireplaces and accordians for TVs and the internet. Wait. If I want to hear accordion music, I can surely find it on the internet, and you can generally count on a forest fire or two on the news. Status quo preserved.
