Frankenstein casserole with veggies for face; Homemade tortilla chips for dipping into black bean dipping and monster face for Halloween

That?

That is a casserole.

A plain ol’, boring casserole, that I’m sure tasted perfectly lovely. It was completely edible and might have gotten an “oo” or an “ah” or maybe even an “mmm” a few times through the meal.

But it’s nothing special.

Add some of these, though? Some completely innocent veggies that don’t really mean anything on their own?

And you get something way more fabulous:

THAT is what will be remembered. It doesn’t matter if maybe it could’ve used a bit more cheese or maybe the corn had been in the freeze just a little too long and lacked flavor. It was an edible monster! And with Halloween right around the corner, you really have no excuse not to have some fun with your own.

It actually had different teeth to begin with. I tried making separate teeth and it looked ridiculous. Then again, I’m not sure it looked much better after the modification, but I thought it helped.

And even Mom got in on the action with some monster nose-picking.

Yes, I come from a very, very mature family. I’m obviously breaking my mother’s heart here by playing with my food so much. :P

Table transformed into portrait – Extreme food art

I would say that’s pretty extreme, huh? Instead of simply turning a dish into something creative….or even 12 watermelons… This is an entire table of food turned into an artistic portrait.

And if that’s not enough, check out this time lapse video of it:

Although, is it just me, or does that look a bit like Hitler? Never looked so good in wine, huh? Hmm.

Let’s talk business for a moment

Owl made of cantaloupe, watermelon, lettuce, peppers, etc - Food art

First things first: I’m not at any of my normal residences right now and while I did everything I could to minimize roadblocks during this time, things didn’t go as planned. I brought my various hard drives, CDs, DVDs, memory cards, etc, with me….however, not only did I have some hardware fail not long after getting up here, but I also have some compatibility issues.

What does that mean for you? Some of my posts might look a little funky for a while. I don’t have Windows Live Writer, my main blogging program, so things may be a little less consistent.

Worse news? All of the drafts that I had saved and ready to go before I left, are stuck elsewhere now. I can’t access them. So Kayla, I had some of your creations writen up and ready….like the icing sandwiches and bunny cookies from a while back…. but no go for now. Kyli, I thought I had yours scheduled to post and that it would’ve gone up by now, but apparently I just had it saved as a draft…which means it didn’t make it to the internet at all, like I assumed. I can either re-write it or wait until later….which sucks. Vegas stuff in general is in a mix of places. BlogHer conference photos will go up eventually, but they’re currently on my camera still and Photoshop is flaking out with converting my watermark and whatnot, so editing has been a pain.

Sooo….

Second things second: I’ve got a bunch of pictures already watermarked that will be coming your way as soon as I crawl out from underneath this pile of bill-paying freelance work. I also have a ton of stuff from other people that are awesome.

And in the meantime, if anyone wants to guest post, please please, send it my way. I know you guys are incredible and I’m happy to post any of your creative strokes of genius.
