We had a new lunch item the other day that was quite a hoot and I thought I’d share. A few days ago we had gone to the library to check out the Disney movie of James and the Giant Peach (which we are almost done reading) and, while that was checked out, there was a BBC series on Sperm Whales so we got that instead. There was a lot of talk about the abyss and “Monsters of the deep” and so Kai and Nora started using that in their play (i.e. look out Nora, here comes a Monster of the Deep, let’s get in the cardboard box). Around the same time I saw a web post where you cut a hot dog or sausage into slices and insert dry noodles before cooking. The dry pasta can pierce the hot dog but goes all floppy (like tentacles) when cooked (hence the name it earned – monsters of the deep). The pictures below show the cooks in action.
