When I was about 8, I attended a Christmas dinner with all the children from my class and ate something I still remember. Somehow I was fascinated by our special entrée, and studied it carefully before eating (my mom used to think I would become a surgeon because I was always dissecting my food), so I would be able to replicate it at some point later in time. I guess that point only came at the age of 23, but the benefit of this delayed replica is that I now am able to share it with you all.
1. Ingredients: boiled egg, tomato, mayonnaise (not in picture).
2. Slice up the tomato and egg. Take off the top of the tomato and the top and bottom of the egg. Make sure the egg will be stable enough to stand and hold the tomato. I only took the tops off to make the ‘mushroom’ as big as possible, but just slicing the tomato and egg in half would give you two mushrooms in stead of one, which is probably more efficient.
3. Use mayonnaise to add little white spots on the tomato. There are probably a thousand ways to do this, so just experiment with what works best for you. You could add some greens, or use your ‘mushroom’ to dress up a salad or meal in a playful and fun way.
Enjoy!
That's SO CUTE!!! Definitely doing this next time I'm feeding someone else a salad :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching pictures of baby animals for the past few days and you'd think that food couldn't be cuter than that... I admit this isn't better than fluffy kittens but damn close anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhy were uou watching pictures of baby animals for the past few days? Not that you need any excuse for that ;) Just curious :)
DeleteWell we all need our daily dose of cuteness, don't we? And it can't be illegal to dream about kittens and hope that your grown up cat will never know... (=
DeleteHaha true :) I always wanted kittens as a kid but I was never allowed because my sibblings were allergic.. My friend had kittens though and I loved playing there!
DeleteOhmygosh! That would make the cutest salad ever!! :)
ReplyDeleteCute!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think my little guy would adore this! I'll have to make it for him.
I'd lov eto hear what he thought of it, obviously I loved it as a kid!
DeleteYou are just too funny sometimes : ]
ReplyDeleteAnd are you really 23? I thought you were younger based on your pictures. But shame on me--I'm always thought to be like 19 when I'm actually 24, almost 25. I guess we age well ; ]
Haha yes not lying ;) I would have guessed you to be a bt younger as well, seems like we are in the same boat haha. I do feel like people think I am younger ever since I got braces.
DeleteOh yes, braces never help when it comes to guessing age. I was lucky to never need them, but I bet if I had them now, people would think I was 15.
DeleteShort story: One time when I was riding an airplane, I was to be next to the emergency exit on the side and you apparently have to be 15 to be able to sit there. So a flight attendant comes by and says (dead serious) "Are you sure you're 15?" True fact: I was 18, almost 19 at the time. Me and my friend across the way just laughed and the flight attendant continued on her merry way. : ]
Oh my goodness. I am 99% sure all future salads will now have a mushroom growing out of them. Best. Idea. Ever. Xo Lori
