Jesse plays with food...
Jesse made dinner while I was at a church meeting. This is Carrothenge. Notice the great pyramid of Carrot in the back.
Carrothenge and Mr. Potato (terra cotta) Warrior
Detail on Mr. Warrior. Perhaps Jesse should have been an artist not an engineer. All of this was made into stew and the torso of the brave warrior was the last thing left... over.
Sad spoon. This one is my doing. It came out of the bowl (the next day) like that ... all dried and stuck on. The mouth was scratched more deeply into it.
Where it all started
See Ben bought some cheese. It was 5 pounds. What can a boy in the dorms do with 5+ pounds of cheese? (he had more, too much meal plan money) That is how we inherited this 5 pound 14ish inch long hunk of cheese. In fact it was rather reminiscent of a certain baby I know. The deal was we needed to:
a) make something really tasty
or
b) carve something out of it
This is what Jesse chose (and then he went crazy and now he carves all sorts of food)

He didn't carve the whole block, because this is Utah and it was drying out too quickly. It still needed to be edible. Why waste cheese? What about all of the crumbs you may ask? Thrown into the bag with the shredded cheese. Some may have disappeared into our mouths
Seriously
"Draaaagon draagon I don't do dat tongue thang"
Any resemblance?
Any resemblance?
OK, first of all, yes, I do see resemblance...to that aligator game where you push down the teeth until the unlucky pusher gets their finger bitten. Looks just like it. Also, I think, pyramid, stone henge, terra cotta warrior...Jesse should have gone into archaeology! And Jesse, remember that bust of that man I carved out of shortening at the Wabash fair? I getcha. Can't wait to see what Ryan creates when he gets just a little older. He is darn cute, btw.
ReplyDeleteNo cheese ryanosaurous? Loved the warrior and carrothenge, although the carrot pyramid may have been an ancient celtic castle site. (Hence the game King of the Mountain?) Perhaps Jesse's PhD topic can be on the veritable uses of vegetables as models for applied engineering concepts.
