5 weird things I learned at culinary school at Talk of Tomatoes

Cute redone side table into play stove... love the creative re-use! (Previous play stove posts here and here)
Be sure to drop by Foodwhirl.com for Bacon Week this week! You know you want some.
There will be recipes featuring that delightful flavor that is bacon, all week long.
Up currently: Candied Bacon Martini & Bacon Caramel Corn… Yum!
Unrelated to Bacon Week… Niki’s doing a 3 part series on making your own Corned Beef! (I would have never thought to do that, but she says it’s delish! The first part is here.)
And it’s perfect for today’s Illustration Friday: Brave. Doesn’t this king look Brave and True? You know he had to be a robot.
About the project at Super Punch:
So, about this project. I wanted to do something special for the third anniversary of Super Punch, and three weeks or so ago, the idea popped into my head of inviting my favorite artists to create tarot cards.
See all the fabulous cards thus far at Super Punch. There are some incredibly cool ones, from some very cool artists, and I’m honored to be part of the group!

I literally squealed when I saw this at Superpunch this morning…
Noah Dziobecki created a dead on Star Wars-themed version of Goodnight Moon, called Goodnight Forest Moon. You can download the book here.
The Boy loved Goodnight Moon when he was little, and now he’s completely into Star Wars in all it’s forms. So this is totally cool. You can download a pdf of the book, and he gives very detailed instructions on how to print and make your own version.

Here’s a great idea for cake or cupcake decorating, using tootsie rolls! They come in all kinds of wonderful colors now… My friend Grieg made these (apparently he’s not just a great photographer, but a great cook as well), and was generous enough to show us how! You can see some of his other creations at Foodwhirl, too! (Like the Cheesecake Cookie Cupcakes, and Chocolate Hearts)
