How to make glow-in-the-dark sushi
Well I guess it’d be rather easy to ask “Do I have any fish stuck in my teeth?” and actually get a real answer back in the dark restaurant or bar.
I’m not the only one gets asked that, right? And 99% of the time it seems to be in poorly lit areas where there is no way I can actually tell if there’s food stuck in their teeth…
But yes….fish….that glows in the dark. I’m sure that’d be a hit at our next Halloween party. It’s probably a bad thing that I’m picturing floating them in a fish tank…or worse yet, playing those games where you let kids feel the gross foods in bowls with their eyes closed (like peeled grapes as eyeballs….gummy worms for worms….dead fish as…hmmm).
Anyway….
If you’re in California, you’re out of luck, but anywhere else is fair game to order these little glowing fish and make your own.
Too bad I couldn’t get by with just using some neon tetras from the local fish shop instead. :P
Incredible turtle and elephant cake
Yep, that’s a cake. Go ahead, look again.
The best part is, the introduction says “Just your basic iced and marzipanned fruit cake to begin – made in a wide oval bowl. The head and front flippers are shaped from fruit cake and covered with marzipan. Basic food colours applied.”
Oh yes, oh so basic. Don’t they sound rather nonchalant about it? ha The rest is written just as straight forward with fabulous pictures next to words like “Wire frames and dowels to support the elephants, to be moulded in marzipan.”
The rest of the pictures are quite amazing, too, with close-ups of the elephants and some step-by-step shots. Awesome. I definitely thought it was a sculpture when I first saw it and not something completely edible.
Colored hens for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving?
I’m sure your girlfriend would love a pink bird for Valentine’s Day, right? Who wouldn’t!?
Now before the vegetarians get their feathers all ruffled (oh yeah, I went there….the pun couldn’t be avoided), check out what the farm has to say about the dyes:
From Gozzi’s Turkey Farm in Guilford, Connecticut, these turkeys are Gozzi Whites. Their feathers are known for being white and their meat is renowned throughout the region, to whom the Gozzis supply over 18,000 turkeys per year. Non-toxic, vegetable-based food dye is applied to their "blank canvases" to create these bright colors: it’s all topical and harmless.
Sitting down like in the picture above, they look pretty innocent, but you should really check them out, walking around, all fluffed up:
I suddenly really, really want a turkey.
And before it eventually ends up served with potatoes and gravy on my plate, I’ll take the one in turquoise!
