Baked with love

Fixing this morning's breakfast revealed an unexpected culinary anomaly:

A cutout to die for — get it?
Pillsbury with payout potential?

Okay, so this tiny heart doesn't carry the religious significance of the Virgin Mary pretzel or Jesus Cheetos that occasionally make headline news. But since divine cuisine has become almost commonplace, I began to wonder if this secular biscuit might be considered rare and valuable among ebay bidders.

Realizing that a hunk of raw dough wouldn't ship as well as a baked item, I slid the cookie sheet into the oven and began imagining how I would spend my sudden windfall — then realized my mistake 20 minutes later.

Frozen Heart Warm Heart

No matter how good my intentions had been, the baked-til-golden-brown version appeared to be nothing more than a flaky biscuit.


You don't need to understand Japanese to realize the worldwide appeal of the item shown in this video:

    Don’t take this wrong, but the title of a Shakespearean comedy immediately came to mind -- Much Ado About Nothing. I am particularly referring to the Japanese video and not the blog post itself. We once had a swirl in the marble of our bathtub enclosure that I felt could have been seen as the face of Jesus, but we never conducted any tours to view it.
