Well, okay, it was more of a whale, really, and it was made out of cucumber and cheese, rather than "real" seafood... but given that the whale and the other "characters" on the boys' dinner plate represented actual characters from their recent bedtime stories which our house-guest had been concocting and telling them on an almost-nightly basis, the dish was a big hit with Alex and Simon last night.
I should confess that I did not create this brilliant masterpiece. I can claim credit only for beguiling the chef with my limited charms, and luring this very special friend into our family home for a while so that she could develop her creative talents in the kitchen and work her magic with the kids in this household. As evidenced so clearly in the photo above, she has done both!
(I'm kind of hoping for an adult version for myself sometime... maybe little Cessnas made out of eggs, with celery for the wings and propeller? Or a drumset created from radishes or something.)
