When I had finals to study for in college, it was always really important—urgent, really—to vacuum my dorm room.
It's the day before Easter, and I have tomorrow's dinner to get ready for, laundry to do, and a trip to pack for, and so
making vegetables out of marzipan cannot wait.
And, of course, things have escalated. What began as a carrot project soon involved potatoes
and then radishes.
In case you're also looking to waste time, there's a nicely illustrated explanation of how-to here. I used rosemary sprigs for the greenery.
Did I mention I completed my taxes this afternoon? And that I did them myself using TurboTax? And that it was actually really fun? I decided that I did not want to spend hundreds of dollars again being bossed around by a small woman at H.R. Block. But regardless of how delighted I am with myself, I did think I deserved a reward. And these were more fun that vacuuming.

When my taxes were due I managed to clean out the garage, sort out the hall closet and make candied grapefruit peel. What are you doing with these?
So cute! I think the only thing I could manage would be the potato.
These mini-vegetables are adorable! You are so creative :)
We just ate them!
Butterfluck cupcakes, marzipan veggies, AND you do your own taxes?
That's it, Cindy. I'm done. I can't read your blog anymore, you funny, creative, capable woman.
It's been nice knowing you.
(Hope Mammoth was fun! I love skiing there for the high ogling factor.)
Let's hear it for productive procrastination... DH would argue that I am the queen of this tactic!
Those are lovely! I totally support that kind of procrastination.
Those vegetables are so cute I want to pinch them :)
How did they taste?
I find procrastination is the best time to polish the silver. Not when I actually NEED the silver polished.
Also, dill is a nice green for mini carrot tops.
Or so I've heard!!
Hope you had a great Easter.
