Busy, busy, busy...but just enough time to post a how-to from past website fun...

And if the following images and directions look familiar, guess again about the whole click, copy, and paste from elsewhere. This is the original, legit source (resurfacing once more from our vaults courtesy of my web partner).

In this particular not-much-of-a-cooking demonstration, one of our poor hamusters gnawed for clones of his own. May he rest in sunflower seeds peace...(well, it has been a while since the original debut...he was lucky to get a couple years of hard-core hamu-hamu living.)


TODAY'S LESSON:   The umm-I-don't-think-I-made-it-quite-right-but-it-still-turned-out-okay special hamster/mouse-creature-seemingly-driving-a-bumper-car deviled eggs!
tottoko Oishi soo!

What you'll need:


• Your favorite deviled eggs recipe*
  
• Raisins (eyes and tail)
  
• Small celery stalk or cucumber seeds (ears)
  
• Toothpicks
  
  

*Being the incredibly simple-minded fool that cringes at complexity I am, my deviled egg recipe calls for boiling eggs, cutting the egg in half (for this recipe, you can cut it either the long or short way based on your preference), scooping out the egg yolks with a spoon - taking care not to rip the egg whites, mixing the egg yolks with mayonnaise until it is the consistency you like - based on how much mayonnaise you want, and spooning the egg yolk/mayonnaise mixture back into the holes where the original yolks used to be in the boiled egg halves. This is just to help out those who've no idea what deviled eggs are. It'd probably be worth your time to find a really good recipe, but this works for me.   :)

What to do:


• Make your deviled eggs
  
• Cut raisins to pieces for your creature's eyes - cutting one raisin into four pieces works well
  
• Thinly slice a small stalk of celery (see pictures if you are confused) or find some cucumber seeds in that cucumber of yours to use as ears for your creature
  
• Place raisin eyes as deemed appropriate
  
• Place celery/cucumber ears a little way behind the eyes
  
• Spear a whole raisin with a toothpick, and bring the raisin down about 3/4 of the length of the toothpick. Stick the toothpick (dirty end that raisin left goo all over as you were sliding it down) into the "back" of the creature until raisin meets egg white
  
• Tweak as you like to adjust appearance - Easy, ne? - experiment with different food items you can use for different body parts
  

Hey, don't eat 'em all!
