Food That Looks Like Stuff
food, Fun March 10th, 2010You guys are always pulling through for me. Last night I was tearing my hair out trying to come up with a post. I remarked on Facebook that my husband suggested I get in the zone by drinking a beer. Which is bad because I hadn’t had a beer in ten years and a little would go a long way. And then I wondered whether drunken posts were any good.
In the end, I decided to go to bed early and hope that a post came to me while I slept.
That never happened, but look what did! I woke up and checked email to find this photo taken by my blogging bud, Moonshadow. She writes:
“Sorry I didn’t get this sent to you sooner since you were have so much trouble coming up with a post. A week or two ago I had made chef salads for supper and my husband called me to the table saying I needed to take a look at “this face.” So I told him to hold it right there so I could get a picture, that I knew someone that loved food that looked like something… so here you go.”
Thank you, Moonshadow! It’s just what the doctor ordered. I love that your husband noticed the face and that you thought to take a picture for me. If you don’t already have a Junk Drawer magnet, I’ll pop one in the mail for you as a big thank you!
Oh, and your chef’s salad looks delicious, what with all the BACON!
Tell me, did the little egg scream when you ate him?
Stumble it!

Now that looks way to funny to eat… and those sad eyes…..

That egg might have gone overboard with the bronzer. Just a touch for a more natural look next time.

For the record, drunken posts always sound great at the time, but then you wake up to a big mess of stuff that you THOUGHT was clever and funny but in reality is just a lot of gibberish. So I’ve heard.
It’s breakfast time, and that damn egg is making me HONGRAY! But not for eggs. For chef salad! Moonshadow! Make me one now!

Uhm, I don’t get it. Maybe this is needing coffee to appreciate the fine art of seeing a face in that Picture.

I’d have like to seen the drunken post. Instead of Wordless Wednesday maybe we should all do Wednesday and Wine. If everyone did it then we’d all look silly together. Sorry, I haven’t finished coffee yet. Best I could do. It is nice that your readers are thinking about you when they eat.

You know, I STILL forget to check my food for a face or for something that looks like something. I think I’m too busy shoveling it in!

I must have pretty boring food. I never find any awesome food that looks like stuff. *SIGH* I guess I just need to try harder.

I think the face is great! Sort of reminds me of the “smiley face” ads for American Express on TV. I’ll be inspired now to pay more attention to how my food looks or if it’s looking at me.

Tell me, did the little egg scream when you ate him?-You crack me up! I think it would have been hard to eat with those pleading eyes staring back at me!

Poor little egg. It almost looks as if its pleading with his sad little eyes, “Please don’t eat me. I’ll be good.”

Good question, Patricia. I think it might have been some seasoning that was in the Bacon French dressing.

I’m sorry, I just can’t eat food with a face. I feel almost cannablistic, somehow. My food should remain faceless and unknowable. A mystery to be devoured! LOL

Ahahhaha. Well, sometimes THEY are VERY funny, unless you find a depressed and angry drunken blog post, then NOT SO MUCH!
I love the photo of ‘The Face’ and who doesn’t LOVE bacon!

Druken posts could go either way, I guess it would depend. That is some weird looking egg slice. I don’t know if I could eat it since it has a face.

I can’t offer any experience with drunken posts (haven’t been drunk since 1996), but I have found that writing comes much more easily for me if I have a glass of wine. Probably for the same reason that I tend to talk a million miles a minute if I’m drinking.

Auntie E — I know! The eyes get me every time. What a sad little eggy.
Daisy the Curly Cat — He’s like the George Hamilton of eggs. It doesn’t matter now. He’s in a better place. RIP little guy.
JD at I Do Things — I promise I’ll never try. Or, how ’bout if I promise to review it first when I get sober? Seriously, how delicious does that salad look? Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Beamer — Hmmm. Maybe look from a distance. Or have a beer first.
Jen — Yes, it would have to be a group effort and no one would be allowed to mock our drunken posts. My readers also think of me when they see plastic bags stuck in trees. It’s an interesting phenomenon, ain’t it?
Babs Beetle — Well, get on the stick, lady! Would it help if I promised gifts for submissions?
Surfie — No, you don’t have boring food. You’re just not looking. I’m telling you. Stop and look first. I guarantee you’ll find something if you stop a second before shoveling in.
Linda — Yes, please do! And not all foods have faces. Look for hearts, animals or letters. That reminds me. I think I still have a picture of a cheese curl that looks like a saxophone. Might have to post that too.
SuziCate — I once had a face on a cracker that I ate with soup. I was so hungry, I barely got the picture taken and then SLURP! All gone!
Barb at WillThink4Wine — Well, I’ve got the pee covered. But I would not object to a poo picture. My readers, on the other hand….
Bernie — I know! The eyes really got to me. Poor little eggy. I’m sure he was tasty. He gave his life for good.
Moonshadow!!! — Thanks again for the great shot. And thanks for letting Patricia and others know what the eyes were made of. Oh, man. Bacon and bacon dressing. Does it get any better.
Patricia — I was curious too!
Susan Montgomery — Oh, now I feel terrible. He couldn’t even make a sound going down. I’m going to cry.
Blog Angel — Trust me, when you’re hungry enough, you get over it. I ate a cracker face once. He didn’t feel a thing.
Cashier — Oh, man. Me too. Saw it first thing in the morning and immediately wanted bacon and eggs and cheese (and salad, if I must).
meleah rebeccah — You know, I’ve never really read a drunken post. Close to it on Facebook, but those updates are fleeting and excusable. A drunk blog post. I’ll probably never see the day.
Viveca — So if I dress my pets up in clothes and accessories, I’ll think better? I’d try it if I thought my cats would cooperate.
ann — You would eat a face if you were hungry enough. Just sayin’. CHOMP!
Lola — I’ll check it out. But you do know you’re hurting my brain, right?
grannyann — People who stop and examine their food would. Try it sometime!
absepa — I don’t think I could even do wine. I swear. I’m a cheap date. I can’t have a glass of wine without falling asleep. I guess it’s a casualty of old age?

OK, Mr. Egg Slice, I’m going to count to three and if you don’t say anything by the time I get to three, I will eat you. What’s that Mr. Egg Slice? Did you say something? No? What’s that? You don’t have a mouth? Well, I guess I just have to … – NOM NOM NOM!

I was looking forward to the drunk post myself. Hey, this is our entertainment you know. We have no lives outside of blogging, shower now and again, grab some food to eat while we are computing.
That egg looks pretty creepy by the way.

I would have had to throw that egg away anything that looks weird on my eggs and it’s in the garbage, but it’s fun looking for images on other things. I would have liked reading the drunken post.

Did the little egg scream? I don’t think so as he, (she?), appears to have no mouth!
And Anna, yes.. I thought of Nickelodeon too when I saw that.

That does not look like a happy egg maybe it needs some tabasco sauce….

Sometimes, you’ll see something unexpected where you least expects it. That sure is so surprising. I’ll try to look for something similar to this next time I’m eating my salad. Thanks for sharing.
July 15th, 2010 at 8:30 am
This kind of food would be perfect for kids 🙂 especially for kids as I was, I used to eat only what was looking good to me. These are funny and friendly, every child would surely love it!
December 17th, 2010 at 6:16 am
This looks funny. I guess the next time I get bored, I’ll try making some food that looks like stuff like my big fat cat and that should cheer me up!
