Body Parts of Bread

October 18th, 2009 by John Wolfe

While I normally don’t feature anything too gruesome on SOS, this video really captured my imagination and inspired me. It’s not that the imagery itself is gruesome, but the idea of eating the finished product could be.

Either way, the Halloween corpse builder in me finds it fascinating to see a talented artist replicating human body parts from such an interesting medium. Talk about your “Bread of the Dead” (a traditional treat from Day of the Dead celebrations)!

Of course, there’s a perfect pun I can’t resist for this entry: “Night of the Living Bread.” :D I’m off to the workshop, now — hope you enjoy the video.

Halloween Pumpkin Cookie Jar

October 10th, 2009 by John Wolfe

A few days ago, I stopped by my parents’ house to replace a bathroom faucet and my mom surprised me with this glass, Halloween pumpkin full of chocolate chip and black cat sugar cookies! However, this isn’t any ol’ ordinary glass pumpkin. When I was a kid, I bugged my parents to buy me this thing at Dunkin Donuts. If I remember correctly, the pumpkin came full of Halloween Munchkins (DD’s name for donut holes) during the 80′s.

After a few Halloweens of the pumpkin being loaded with all sorts of goodies, someone broke it (probably me, but I’ve conveniently blocked that event from my memory). I hadn’t seen a glass pumpkin donut/cookie jar in over twenty-years, until my grandma found this one. She had a yard sale; my mom bought it from her and gave it to me, and ta-dah I have my pumpkin back. :D

While I was adjusting it for the photo, all I could smell was the cookie scent wafting out the top. I know what I’m having for lunch… well, make that after lunch. Thanks, Mom!
