octopusses
May 9th, 2009
I’m a sucker for novelty and my children moreso, so when I saw these floating around the internets, I knew I was going to end up making them, despite the fact that they look absolutely revolting.
This is something the kids can help with, though mine didn’t. I stabbed veggie pup/hotdog pieces with dried pasta, then cooked the hotdog/pups in boiling water until the pasta drooped and the creatures became squid with real tentacles. As you can see, I was feeling guilty for feeding my kids this processed food stuff, so I sliced up strawberries on the side to make the meal seem healthy. Turns out my kids are more interested in real food as the strawberries were gone long before the squid.
