Happy President’s Day 2016

The USA’s presidents are fascinating men (so far, men only) whose stories are filled with folk lure and fact. Abraham Lincoln did NOT want to be called Abe.  He loved oysters.  And — was enshrined in the Wrestling Hall of Fame wayyyyy after his prowess as a wrestler waned.  George W (um, that’s Washington) did NOT have wooden teeth.  He did have loads of health issues, though, including his teeth.  And he did eventually have them all pulled.  Ugh.  Maybe his dogs (that he loved, loved, loved) comforted him- being the man’s best friends and all.

A Hunk, A Hunk of Burning Love

Okay.  So it’s actually “a hunk,” “a hunk,” AND burning “love.” Should have made them peanut butter flavor for the King.  No matter. Elvis has left the building. Special thanks to the great Callye Alvarado (the Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle) for the original tutorial and hunky torso idea!

So Cheesy

A dear friend works as a “cheese guru” for Wegmans (utterly fantastic grocery store, for those who do not live in the northeast).  As she was approaching a milestone birthday, I wanted to send her something to lighten the mood.  You know, to encourage her to BRIE all that she could BRIE.  Go a little CRACKERS on her big day….

Take a PEEP at this EGGStravaganza!

Who said you can’t play with your food?  Apparently, even religious holidays are not “sacred”???  And so it goes for Easter 2015.  First an EGGStreme play on that Easter staple: the simple egg.  Next I am YOLK-ing around with those wondrous little marshmallow fluffs they call Peeps.  Sometimes our ‘peeps just steal the show!?
