YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!!!

You have to see it to believe it…Krumbs and I created an ode to spring—and it is an edible ode!  We’ve already told you our first sign of spring is when we s-s-see s-s-snakes s-s-sunning.  That idea was the inspiration for our edible ode to spring.

DUHN, DA, DA, DUHN…(my drum roll, thank you!) Here it is:

 

It is kind of slithery sleek and copiously cool, right?  We love our cucumber and carrot snake.  It all started when I was assigned to make last night’s dinner salad.  Mom had bought these super long cucumbers and Krumbs and I kept saying they looked like snakes.  Well, after I peeled a cucumber I kept using the peeler to peel away long strands of crisp cucumber.  The long, skinny cucumber kept getting longer and skinnier until I all that was left was a long line of seeds…and we don’t like to eat those seeds!!

Krumbs took one look at the seedy cucumber leftovers and it took him about 15 seconds to point out that if I cut the end into a point, the cucumber could be a snake!  One end of the “snake” was thicker because the peeler didn’t reach that far, so it was the head.  A little slice of carrot and a couple of carrot bits, placed carefully on the cucumber gave us….an edible ode to spring!!!!

Awesomely fun!  Try it yourself.  And if you’re looking for more fun and fabulous recipes check out the "What's Cooking?" page of the Imagination-Café.  You can find all kinds of great goodies that are easy to make and tasty too.  Click here to see "What's Cooking?" at the Imagination-Cafe!
