Penguins. OPUS would be proud....Recipe Thursday

First off, I just posted like 1 or 2 other

posts and an important petition, below this one-which I rarely do so

close toether- but I LOVE these ideas and I'm being impatient! I wanted

to get them out to folks before Christmas, so don't forget to scroll

down!!!!!Lo's

Waldorf class had a little Holiday feast the other day and one of the

moms brought in these penguin snacks. So friggin cute, I DIE!We re-created them last night for a snack before swimming lessons:Ingredients:6 hard-boiled eggs12-16 whole black olives, approximately6 baby carrots for feet and a few more for beaks. ....or whatever you call them)6 toothpicks(and a celery "string" if you can finagle one off of a piece...)Directions:1. Hard boil the eggs. Drain, set aside to cool then peel. 2. BODY: Cut a small slice off the wide end of each egg. (Cut the slice so that the penguin can stand up on its own.). 3.

FLIPPERS: Slice three olives in quarters lengthwise. Cut a small slit

down each side of the"body" of an egg and insert one olive piece on

each side.4. CHEST: Cut approximately 1/2" sliver of black

olive lengthwise. Make a tiny slit down the middle of the hard boiled

egg and carefully insert the olive sliver.5. HEAD: Place one

toothpick down the center of the top (narrow end) of each hard boiled

egg. Attach the whole olive with the hole in the center of the

penguin's face.6. NOSE: cut six small triangular pieces of

carrot or bell pepper-large enough so that it will fit snugly in the

olive hole and not fall out. Place the carrot or bell pepper piece in

the olive hole.7. To serve, arrange the soon-to-be endangered penguins on an irregularly shaped piece of styrofoam. Carol in ILMom to , 8 DS My problem is not how I look.
