Zed - Macro Mondays
Since his last appearance, some three years ago, Taz has spent most of his time on a shelf eating dust. When I took note of this week's theme, I reviewed all my options as there were so many Zed around just like that orange zest standing in a basket, I was lost in my thoughts when my casting agent came just in time to remind me that Taz was still waiting for that role I had promised him. It all suddenly went clear in my mind as I knew Taz would eat anything in his path, I had my shooting sequence. As I was collecting items for my setup a smile crossed my face, I was longing to see his expression when he'll be facing this bitter orange zest standing in his way :)
Zest is a food ingredient that is prepared by scraping or cutting from the rind of unwaxed citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, citron, and lime. Zest is used to add flavour to foods.
In terms of fruit anatomy, the zest is obtained from the flavedo (exocarp) which is also referred to as zest. The flavedo and white pith (albedo) of a citrus fruit together makes up its peel. The amounts of both flavedo and pith are variable among citrus fruits, and may be adjusted by the manner in which they are prepared. Citrus peel may be used fresh, dried, candied, or pickled in salt.
The Tasmanian Devil (also spelt Tazmanian Devil) commonly referred to as Taz, is an animated cartoon character featured in the Warner Bros Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Though the character appeared in only five shorts before Warner Bros Cartoons shut down in 1964, marketing and television appearances later propelled the character to new popularity in the 1990s.

Taz is generally portrayed as a ferocious, albeit dim-witted, carnivore with a notoriously short temper and little patience. He got his name in the short Ducking the Devil. Though he can be very devious, he is also sweet at times. His enormous appetite seems to know no bounds, as he will eat anything in his path. He is best known for his speech consisting mostly of grunts, growls, and rasps (in his earlier appearances, he does speak English with primitive grammar) as well as his ability to spin like a vortex and bite through nearly anything. Taz does have one weakness: he can be calmed by almost any music. While in this calm state, he can be easily dealt with. The only music known not to pacify Taz is the bagpipes, which he finds insufferable. Source Wikipedia.
