Pancake cereal – Mini pancakes rule
Yep, dozens of itty bitty pancakes the size of dimes. What possessed me to do this, I don’t even remember, but it turned out to be a really fun way to eat breakfast.
After painstakingly placing dozens of circles on the griddle, I actually attempted individually flipping most of them before staying “screw it” and leaving the rest to cook all the way through from the bottom.
It might not look bad, but wait until you try holding your arm up over a hot griddle for several minutes straight, only to then have to start flipping the first set before they burn. Yikes. So I didn’t plan that one out too well, huh?
I expected them to be eaten on a plate with a fork, but it turns out that it’s way more fun to toss them all in a bowl, pour on some syrup, and eat with a spoon like you would cereal. Probably not the most nutritious approach, but oh so good!
The wattle waddles…er, wobbles – Thanksgiving turkey cheeseball
That was one of my Thanksgiving dinner contributions.
I can’t even remember which cheeseball recipe I used, but it was delicious, rolled in a mix of chopped walnuts, almonds, and pecans. What? I couldn’t decide.
The wattle is made of a tiny piece of spaghetti, soaked in red food coloring. The neck and head piece are from a Slim Jim that I forced to hold its shape with a clip for a while.
The beak is a bit of cream cheese colored yellow, and the eyes are the same concept. I did my icing with the tiny corners of ziploc bags like this:
And the tailfeathers? They’re a combination of pretzel sticks in the front and larger sesame sticks in the back row. By the end, only a few tail feathers remained, and even those didn’t make it through the night. Delicious.
Edible food fashion – Tomato and cabbage couture
Bubblegum dress
Winter mushroom
Sung Yeon Ju is a Korean artist who has spent two years creating amazing dresses out of real foods in her series “Wearable Foods.” There are several more pictures on TrendLand. I wonder if Lady Gaga drew inspiration from these classy dresses when she chose to wear her meat dress?
Tomato…classy, no?
Lotus Root (So this one probably needs a slip worn underneath, heh)
Red Cabbage
Spring Onion (See? There are some more classic dress versions, too)
