My name is John Charles Ricker. I am an artist, writer, speaker, and thinker who lives in Minneapolis.
This blog will evolve as I explore this medium of expression, but I expect it will always contain my photography and art. Some of the art will be straightforward, but over half of it will play with one's perception.

Chicken Peanut Butter Sandwitch
Last night I let myself get a bit too hungry. When I got home I had a craving for peanut butter and the most handy source of meat was a breaded chicken fillet that was sitting in the fridge.
When I first thought of making a sandwich that put those two ingredients together, I hesitated, but then my curiosity asserted itself and I went about making the sandwich.
Chicken Peanut Butter Sandwich Phase 1:
One plain piece of toast, one slice of toast with peanut butter spread on it and a chicken fillet.
It tasted good, but bland in a way that I wasn’t expecting. The tastes of both items mixed well, but there was nothing that satisfying about the result.
Chicken Peanut Butter Sandwich Phase 2:
The previous incarnation with the addition of curry powder.
I realized that if I added curry to the peanut butter, it would taste a bit like satay sauce. The result was actually quite good and I think I might make this sandwich again.
It turns out it sounds much less appetizing than it actually is. Even with this experience behind me, it will still be a long time (possibly a non-polynomial amount) before I try my friend’s bologna, banana, and peanut butter sandwich. I loathe bologna.
