Go ahead and play with your food.
Don't play with your food. You've were told this over and over as a kid. Why? Why not play with your food? Why not make a mashed potato snowman? Why not test your hypothesis that peas will roll down celery sticks faster then carrot sticks. Why not attempt an abstract sculpture with what is left on your plate? Why do they want to suck the fun out of mealtime? I say play! PLAY PLAY PLAY! Play with your food. Enjoy it. Live a little - and loosen up. There is nothing wrong with a little food fun now and again.

- Hilarious. I had to create a food lens for this week's boot-camp training and could come up with nothing beautiful or serious. So I did one on trying to help my daughter learn to cook--in the days when cooking meant opening cans of unhealthy foods. The hilarity continues with this lens here in the featured lens section. I love a good laugh--thank you--and food humor is required when it comes to my daughter. Stop by some time if you ever want to see your food-humor name in 'featured-lens' lights! And keep those goofy pictures coming.
