The Saturday Post
The other night as I chopped vegies for a salad for dinner, the red onion was surprisingly sweet. Not in terms of taste, but in terms of what I found as I sliced the onion.
See for yourself:
Aren't those sweet? After one slice revealed a precious heart in the middle, I sliced ... and sliced ... and sliced. I sliced far more onion than Jim and I would ever eat on one salad, and every single slice had a heart (or two or three) embedded in the center.
I took pictures, of course, and wondered if anyone has created a website dedicated to food that looks like something else.
Sure enough. One quick google and there it is: MOFA: The Museum of Food Anomalies, "An online exhibition of the Art of Regular Food Gone Horribly Wrong."
Some of the MOFA wonders include a "happy-on-the-inside" pepper, a smiling calzone, an "Edvard Munch Honeycomb," the requisite Virgin Mary banana chip, and -- my favorite -- Happy Beer. Check it out.
Soon the museum will also include my sweet little red onion hearts -- perfect for Valentine's Day.
Eat your heart out!

Cute little blog. Sweet little heart, just like you!
Very cool. Glad you took pictures. It's very Hallmark-like.
That is so cool! Happy Valentine's Day a little early!
Well, isn't that just cool! Now I want to go chop my onions to see if I have hearts!!
Hey! Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. Also, I forgot to tell you...my daughter is pregnant again. The Golden Child will have a sibling! Hooray!
Finally a grandma blog I LOVE and there's no crocheted afghans on the back of a humongous lazy boy recliner, or strange, handmade sweatshirt craft ideas with stars and snowmen. Your writing and attitude is a breath of fresh air! I will be a first time granny in the hood in making any month now. Keep up the great blogging...I'm hooked! :) J.
Jenny: You've made my day. I planned to e-mail you to say THANK YOU and WELCOME, but there was no e-mail address for you. What nice words. Although I must admit I *have* crocheted an afghan ... once ... the second year I was married. No more of that for me! Can't wait to hear about the grandbaby coming your way! Congratulations!
Awww I love it! I want heart onions geez! The musuem better hurry up and pick you up!
