He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.


Last year Elmo made a surprise appearance at Henry's birthday party, then we cut him up and ate him.

Yesterday, the party was stormed by a crocodile!

Brave soul that he is, Henry tackled the wee beastie and subdued the bugger, before carving him up and offering his delicious - and strangely banana-flavoured - flesh to all and sundry.

Video at twelve!

He didn't look all that scary from where I stood.
Perhaps the banana flavour came from all the monkeys he possibly ate, do you think?

I have been known to buy cakes and pop them on a paper plate with glad wrap and pretend I made them for the cake stall at school!!! hehehe

No, not me. This is Kris' handiwork. It looked great!
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, now I feel slighted. That's my work there!

BAH!
Kris McCracken said…
Jen, well, you did assist in the problem with the head.

The cake looks awesome Kris and you are one talented man who knows it all. I am really impressed.
I am sure Henry must have enjoyed his day at the table.
Luv to him and Ezra.

Yamini, and there is a video too!

Uncertainhorizon, it passed the three-year-old's identification test, and that is what I was aiming for!
Sue said…
Indeed!!! Now I am REALLY in awe!!!
Sorry Kris for assuming that it was only a female that could make such a glorious work of art! I dips me lid to you!

And I still think you are extremely talented Jen.

I'm the cook in our household. Jen is the knitter and breastfeeder.

I forgot to ask. What did u use to make the eyes and teeth of the croc cake?
Jackie said…
That is just the best cake!
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, the eyes are marshmallows, with the ends of black jelly beans for pupils.

The teeth are quartered white jelly beans. The claws halved black jelly beans and the spikes on the back are trimmed spearmint leaves (lollies, not the real thing).
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, the best? I'm not sure.

Better than my Elmo cake last year though!
yamini said…
You are a GENIUS!!!!!

I guessed marshmallows but wasnt sure about other ""body parts"",

Jelly beans are versatile things.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
