Happy Carving!

Day 53 - Run Baby Run!

What do you get when you mix bagels, pistachios, grapes, and stale marshmallows? Good food gone bad! I can almost see the Bagel Monster tromping through Tokyo...little muppets scattering everywhere! You know the worst thing about this? I have no business telling my son not to play with his food...I can't seem to stop myself!

Day 50 - Dead Fred

I feel like coming unglued even as I type today's post. It's a good thing I'm sitting because my legs are totally jello. Don't get me wrong. I like spiders. OUTSIDE. I leave them alone...they leave me alone...they eat bugs I don't like...generally we all get along just fine. Until you come in my house. Until you crawl out of my laundry basket. UNTIL you scoot over my shoe. I then feel the need to scoot you UNDER my shoe. This is the biggest spider I've seen outside of a National Geographic photo shoot. His body was just over a half inch wide and a little over an inch long. I see he's been eating well! I'm sorry to report that he will no longer be running ruckus through our tighty whities. Let us bow our heads and honor the memory of Fred. Dead Fred.

Day 34 - The Moon IS Made of Cheese...Cake!

For the last year my husband, Jack, has been perfecting his cheesecake making techniques...and boy did he succeed! Tonight's dessert was this mini turtle cheesecake. And as you can see there wasn't much left after I found it! Never having abided by the rule to not play with your food, I carved the remaining pieces into a moon and a little bat. I then painted the bat with dark brown molasses and took my pic. I used Photoshop to add a poster edge filter to give it a little more spooky character. I think I should play with my food more often!
