Cole Slaw Dog Walker

cole slaw dog walkerI thought the fried fish batter Grateful Dead dancing bear would be the pinnacle of my bizarre food finds. This past week, it was eclipsed by the Cole Slaw Dog Walker. On Sunday afternoon, while we were whipping up an Asian slaw for an Oscar night dinner, I found a piece of shredded cabbage that looked like a person. "Look how cute this is," I said as I picked it out of the bowl and danced it across the counter. "A fat lady with a bun." I tossed it aside and continued to pick through cabbage to get rid of all the big chunks. We hate those - the big chunks. They really throw off the symmetry of a slaw, don't they? 

The next large piece I found looked just like a dog. A Scottish terrier, to be more specific. By this time, I was on a mission. I sifted through the bowl until I found a nice long skinny strand that looked like a leash. Come on - it even had a curled end that I was able to fit around the dog's neck. The religious faithful can keep their Virgin Mary on a pizza pan. I'm having way too much fun with all this secular stuff.

Great pic! Is there a therapist out there who specializes in Food Psychology and Imagery? What do the Grateful Dead Bear and Cole Slaw Dog Walker say about you, Deb? Is there a food Rorschach test? If so, it would probably say the Bear symbolizes your wild and reckless (fish batter?) side while the Dog Walker reflects your responsible and healthy (cole slaw) side.

I've never seen Jesus in any of my food. If He showed up, I'm sure he'd be laughing! And if I had laughing Jesus on a waffle, I sure wouldn't sell Him on eBay. I'd slather laughing Jesus with butter and syrup and enjoy! That way when I told people I had Jesus inside me, I could give them a more understandable reference point.

What do you think Bob Marley on a bagel says about a person?

You gals are too much! I had a few spare moments to look back through the posting and it's turned into an hour.
