Veggie and Fruit Creations

I wonder how many times the parents of the ppl who made these had to tell them not to play with their food?






aren't they so clever? which one's your favorite? I love the first four, especially the singing oranges. :D I have more, maybe I'll post some of them later...

What's Cooking?

I'm planning on starting up a new blog, that I'll be posting recipes, etc on... be sure and visit it when you can!

P.S. I also help out on a website called the Veggie Life... it's still under construction but you can visit it (see the link lists in the sidebar). We'll be adding lots more to it soon.

Comida

In a little bit I'll be going shopping for some ingredients, I'm supposed to make a Russian dish for potluck... I have decided to make potato and mushroom fritters. They're basically mushrooms and potatoes dipped in batter and deep fried. If they turn out nicely (and probably even if they don't, lol) I'll try to post the recipe and pictures.

Something I'm looking forward to even more is making a dish called Ratatouille. If you've watched the movie Ratatouille, you'll know what it is... anyway whenever I have watched the movie I get soooooo hungry!!!! Especially for the ratatouille. I easily found a good recipe online, it looks really simple. It's a vegetable stew with zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, eggplant, tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, and I think some spices. I can't wait to get the ingredients and try it out. I'll try to post the recipe and photos of the ratatouille too.

Tuesday evening my sister and I made a chocolate cake. My mom made it for my birthday and it is just soooooo delicious!!! The recipe is called something like Rich Black moist chocolate cake... we got the from a cookbook that was put together by the people who live or lived in the little village my mom grew up in and my grandma still lives in. There are a lot of very good recipes in there... a line from the recipe said "this cake will stay moist for 7-10 days if you can keep it that long." Yeah it was quite a large cake but it was gone by this morning! It went so fast I didn't even have time to take a picture. yeah it was totally that good! Anyway I'll be posting the recipe eventually. I want to make it again asap...

food

Ugh! I was ready to sit down and have a nice meal that I would really enjoy. After all, hadn't I been waiting all day for it, eating nothing but some cold cereal and a can of spinach so I'd have plenty of room? Hadn't I been promised big franks or grillers and Popsicles on this sticky old day? Didn't she think it might upset my day and my stomach when she and the rest of my siblings came home with tofu dogs that tasted like they were actually made of dogs, and my cheapskate of a brother's $2 choice of dessert - cotton candy?!!! I mean, I don't absolutely despise either of the stuff, but I was expecting and wanting and needing something better. Maybe I should continue to go by the rule "if you don't want to eat what there is, don't eat anything at all." It's only till lunch tomorrow, and by then they might come up with something decent. Goodness knows I need to lose five or ten pounds anyway. So what should I do in this dilemma, starve myself or eat that junk? I think I choose the former.

update: I actually tried choking down a tofu dog, but then I got up for a second to go get a drink. My cheapskate of a brother decided he'd better get up too for some reason or other as well. When I returned to my chair, there was my brother sitting in my chair, munching away at ... MY HOT DOG!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING...IT WASN'T EVEN FUNNY!!! I LOST HALF MY HOT DOG TO THAT CHEAPSKATE AND DIDN'T WANT TO EAT THE OTHER HALF CUZ IT GOT POISONED WITH COOTIES!!! That's what I get for going against my better judgment...
