Playing with Food

Meet the newest member of our family.

I’d introduce you properly, but he doesn’t have a name.

Although, if Ty had given him a name I’m betting it would be something really “original” like Orangie. Ty is not creative at all when it comes to naming things. He’s got a frog named Froggie, a dog named Puppy, a duck named Duckie, and a dragon named Draggie.

Anyway, last week we decided to do some food sculpting as a way to work in an art project for school. It was also a great opportunity for Ty to practice using some common kitchen equipment.

Now don’t freak out, but this is a knife he’s got in his hands. Hey, you have to learn sometime, right?

Then Ty took a whack at the vegetable peeler (no pun intended.) He really liked this. I think I might be able to recruit him as my sous chef.

Orangie watched with great anticipation, eagerly awaiting the addition of some upper appendages.

Not one to overlook the details, Ty added some lettuce eyebrows to Orangie. What a looker!
