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
Bacon and egg hot tub for toast people
So this “grown man” calls it a bacon and egg hot tub for his toast people.
I’m afraid that I saw a much more gruesome scene when I first saw this picture. For starters, they definitely look like they’re screaming…likely from drowning in this ‘hot tub’. The fact that the bacon looks more like giant worms, though, or potentially a volcano of scrambled eggs…. sets more of a horror film here.
Which means ultimately, I end up imagining the scrambled eggs bubbling up like molten lava, engulfing the little toast people’s legs, while the bacon worms (Tremor-style) leap in and out of the bowl, attacking them ferociously….
Okay, so I might have some issues….
Eyebombing food – Are inedible eyes okay?
Now I’ll be the first to raise my hand if you ask me if it’s okay to play with your food. Of course it is! Change it into silly shapes. Add smiley faces. Make it look like other objects. Switch the ingredients around into something unexpected. Do whatever you feel like really.
At the same time, I’m a little torn on adding items to food that you can’t actually eat. Yes, it can make it look even more awesome and I’ve definitely done it my fair share of times when when I can’t find something appropriate to use that’s still edible.
It almost feels like cheating at times, though. And it sort of spoils it to have to deconstruct the dish before you can eat it by removing all the parts that are inedible. It’s like having to remove toothpicks from stuffed foods….but even less fun because you immediately kill whatever creation was on the plate and make it less quirky.
Then again, look at this one:
Am I really going to complain that I can’t eat the eyes? No way! It’s too cute!
But I’m definitely not going to bother with that bowl of cereal… ;)
P.S. – Candy eyes are sooo much better for this sort of thing, at least when it comes to sweet dishes. You can buy them at the store or make your own like cookplayexplore does.
