Edible Arts & Adorable Children



Each year we ponder endlessly what we will make for the Bunnell Street Arts Center's Edible Arts show, then at the last minute (as in hours before the event) we quickly throw something together. Last year, you might remember "Cheesus" (the face of Jesus carved from a block of Gouda cheese) ... and this year "YES WE CANdy" made from three kinds of licorice, chocolate chips and Marshmellow Fluff.

We love you Barack Obama.

And speaking of Barack Obama, Spencer had two of his three-year old friends over the other day and one of them spotted a sticker of Omaba that I (Kammi) had. She pointed to it and rather excitedly screamed out "That's Barat Obaaa-ma!" which launched Spencer and his other friend into an excited round of "He's our president!" From there, the discussion moved to his former opponent John McCain about which one friend announced resolutely, "I LIKE John McTain, I just didn't want him to WIN!"
