buns

Okay, so hamburgers aren't made of ham, we know that, but these little oinklets are so precious, I won't quibble over details. I know you want a kiss, piggie, but I have to warn you. I'm all kinds of hungry.

Bunny come back! Someone hurry and grab him before he escapes down the hole, I want my basket of candy, dammit!

So I know sometimes we all say something is too cute to eat, but honestly, do we mean it? No. At least I know I don't. But these, honestly, for reals, are just way way too cute to eat. I would like to find a way to dry and varnish them so they never ever change.

I see you little guys with your beady little eyes, sizing me up. You think you're soooo tough because you were just in a 400 degree oven and barely broke a sweat but let me tell you something: I could fit two of you in my mouth at once.

If only every teacup came with an expectant little bear faces. Don't worry bears, I'll give you a lovely warm home in my belly where you can hang out with your friends roast chicken, potatoes and kale. It will be nice to see them again won't it?

Sometimes you just love something so much you want to eat it just so it can be a part of you. Totoro! Bring y our leaf hat and befuddled expression and get in my belly!

When I was in Mrs. Nakagawa's 8th grade Home Ec class in, um, a long time ago, we learned to make a bao of some sort but they were just boring looking. I wonder if I could have gotten extra credit by making mine look like a dinosaur. It's time to get back to my middle school steamed bun chops. I need to eat some pork filled bunnies!

Do they sing a sweet song in the oven as they bake?
