Why, it’s the pink peach boobie of delight! Now we know why the salad got into trouble.

Earliest Recipe for Dr Pepper Found?

May 2nd, 2009 by Julie

I admit it: I love Dr Pepper. I even have a pair of glass bricks from the old Dallas plant on a shelf in my kitchen.

Now, what appears to be the earliest recipe for the concoction has been found in an antique ledger book. One of the ingredients: Mandrake root. No prune juice, though.

If it’s Wednesday, then it must be time for another helping of unidentifiable food.

This week’s folly:

This is what happens when the salad course gets put into time out.

Our previous abomination was called Peach Temptation. I was sure tempted to do something with it…

So, what do you think this is? Next week, watch for more of the mysterious pink blob you see in the corner. Betcha can’t wait.

Continuing with our theme of sci-fi food: Gagh!

gagh

Remember, it is best eaten while living!

Enjoy with a serving of Spock’s Brain.

Your eyes weren’t fooling you last week: Those were little bunny-shaped dishes. But don’t turn your back on them. They’re killer bunny-shaped dishes!

Sometimes I wonder what these people are taking and whether it’s a good or bad trip. Maybe I don’t want to know.

Spring is in the air, Easter is around the corner, and the Zombie Bunnies are on the march!

“Eeeeeegggggzzzzzz!”

As for last weeks mess, I never did figure out what it was supposed to be, other than it apparently contained that most unfortunately-named of ingredients: Aspic.

We’re a day late, but pretend it’s Wednesday, okay?

clown_salad

I’m not sure what’s worse here: The creepy clown cracker or the alien life form perched on a doily. Whatever it is, it is clearly withink the clown’s hypnotic thrall.

What do YOU think it is?

Last week’s food product was called a tomato rose.
