This is the guest post I will have up over at Jewel of a Book today, but it's so cute and easy to do, that I thought I'd add it here too! I did edit it just a bit since my post over there is geared more to kids, and most of you are moms! Enjoy!
Octopus for Lunch, Anyone?
How would you like to eat an octopus for lunch? No, not a real octopus! But you can make one from a hot dog for a special lunchtime treat! Here's how:
Use a knife to split a hot dog in half lengthwise, stopping about halfway up. Then split each of those halves into fourths (again lengthwise), being careful not to cut off any of the pieces. You should now have eight 'tentacles!' Now, simply put the hot dog into a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook until done. Voile! Place your 'octopus' on a serving plate and enjoy! For more variety, you could use ketchup and mustard to create eyes and a smile. A fun twist on an old favorite!
I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
