Playing With My Food ...


The other day I looked at my sad apple canvas.  No one wanted it.  No one even marked it as a "Favorite" [Etsy lingo].  Shh ... don't tell her.

So staring at the sad little Granny Smith, I heard a voice say "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade".

I thought, "But I don't have any lemons".

And the voice replied "No kidding.  You have an apple.  And what do you do when no one wants the apple?"

I thought about it for a minute & said "Throw it in the compost?"

The voice said "Okay ... no.  The apple's not on it's death bed.  It's just not looking appetizing right now."

"Ohhh ... I got it.  Lemons, Lemonade.  Apples, Apple Tarte Tatin?  How does that sound?"

And the voice said "Sounds like you've been watching too much Ina Garten". 


[OMG I totally have.  How did she know?  And why does she have to be such a smart aleck? By the way ... this is now up on Etsy {here}.]

And what other kind of voice would you expect your inner voice to have---mine is sarcastic AND sassy.

But, the apple and strawberry are very cute--they'll be bought in no time!
