Scalloped potatoes – Not always smiley faces
Can you see it? How about with classic zoom power:
That’s a definite pouty face. In fact, I’d say somebody got a little collagen action going on to make that extra pouty. Mwah!
Okay, so those scalloped potatoes were absolutely delicious, especially in comparison to the lips above. :P My entire family loves the cheese to be burnt, but I prefer the cheesy, potato-y goodness underneath.
Want the recipe?
Scalloped Potatoes
Lots of potatoes
Lots of cheese
Lots of butter
Lots of onions
Lots of sliced, chopped deli ham
Little bit of milk
Layer them and bake for 45 minutes-ish or until the cheese is completely bubbly and turning black. Complicated, eh? :P
The edible animal cell cake – Lysosome cake balls
When L was assigned her 5th grade science project, she immediately chose the edible option. The task? Create a 3D represenation of either an animal or plant cell.
The above is the result of an 11 year old who had never iced a cake or rolled a cake ball before. The picture on the right is what she was mimicking.
Yes, she spelled nucleus wrong, but you can see in the second picture that instead of replacing the lable completely, she just tucked the “u” in there, heh.

When cooking pasta, it can be a difficult task to pick up a near-boiling pot of water and carefully pour its contents into a colander in order to strain the water without burning one’s self. Similarly, deep frying food can also be dangerous when trying to get your chicken wings, shrimp, or other items out of the hot oil. This is where the Joseph Joseph Scoop Colander comes in handy.
Unlike traditional colanders, the Scoop Colander can be used to remove pasta from hot water without having to pour anything. Unlike the shallow mesh spoons for deep frying you may be familiar with, the Joseph Joseph Scoop Colander is deep enough to accommodate a hefty portion in each scoop. The Scoop Colander is made of a special nylon material that stands up to heat and is dishwasher safe.
