The dessert dish calls for "express cream, ricotta cheese" and "2 pairs caressing hands," and "2 pairs soft lips." The appetizer plate reads, "spicy grilled shrimp, 2 eyes with lashes painted." The salad plate is for strawberry-avocado salad with "2 pairs soft lips 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 wet tongues." The main course, on a dinner plate, is "chicken and asparagus, black bean enchiladas, 2 warm bodies." The texts were written in a circular pattern starting from the outside edge to the center. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
