When life gives you…. (Wordless Wednesday)
(Well ain’t that the truth? :P You can get it as a t-shirt here.)
Tempura shrimp with kitty heads
I’m sure there’s a pun in here about them being tem-purr-a….
The site I originally saw this on called them “sweet little tempura kitties,” but I actually find them a little creepy.
After all, why are we putting cat heads on shrimp? Is there something here that I’m missing? I love the rice cats and have made my own even, but to put them on shrimp? I’m not sure even I would do that.
Well I might *now,* but I wouldn’t have before….
Heart shaped carrots – Simple, savory Valentine’s Day idea
I don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day usually. I made pink heart shaped pancakes for the girls one year, if I recall correctly, although that easily could’ve been just a random day where I felt like showing them I cared enough to spend some extra time on breakfast. That just goes to show how important this holiday is to me, huh? Ha.
I do end up seeing a lot related foods around every single holiday, though, and V-Day is no exception. Just how many heart-shaped cookies can there possibly be in the world? Hundreds of thousands, according to my feed reader.
So I especially liked this idea to help balance it out. Instead of focusing only on the dessert side, this one simply involves cutting some carrots and tossing them into a soup. In this case, it appears to be chicken noodle soup and I love the simplicity of it. <3
Sophistimom did a really awesome tutorial on how to easily create the hearts without doing it individually, too, so check her out.
And in case you would prefer a dessert, how about some manly cookies?
