*For the sake of authenticity I have preserved the misspelling of cantaloupe (cantalope) from the card in the title. The front and back of the actual card have it spelled both ways.

Do you know that I actually clicked and then closed my eyes real tight while your Tuesday debauchery of food post loaded? I wasn't sure I could look.
JK - I just got a whole new batch of these suckers in the mail this weekend and they are all worse than the ones I already had. Let's just say that the sandwich loaf and the frankfurter crown were amateur hour.
squirrel - any chance you'll put it on the menu?
frankfurter crown? already there. you should see the looks on their faces when the crown arrives at their table. their eyes are moist with gratitude.
cartouche - Headcheese? Really? Did you have to go there? That's just vicious. Did you notice the nice clean perfect edge on the gelatin? My husband is convinced that they cut out a picture of the gelatin and taped it on the cantaloupe.
Mary - it is all those things and more!
Yet another mystery of the OS.
no wonder women threw their aprons in the can and got jobs!
yowza!
