Good Golly Miss Molly
I hope I’m not tardy..
The day has arrived
For LAURIE’S big party!
I’ve polished the silver..
And baked a heart cake..
Sure hope Stinky Linky
Didn’t make a mistake!
I made potatoes and muffins..
In the shape of a heart…
But if you don’t like them..
Here’s a sweet apple tart..
I bought placemats and dishes..
And these came in handy…
Some heart shaped delicious,
Maybe you’re tired?
A bit of the droop?
I made you a heart…
In a bowl of Spud Soup..
Come sit at the table..
Have some blueberry preserves..
On a sweet heart shaped scone?
It’s getting quite late
A big thanks to Laurie,
Your party was great!
Thanks for coming, and Happy Valentine’s Day!
I HEART this post. You are so inventive and fun. I love the kissy lips cake!

ReplyDeleteOh Kathleen, this is just the cutest post! All of this heart shaped food - however do you come up with such amazing ideas? Your poetry is just great. You always amaze me!

Hi Kathleen. Thanks for visiting my blog. I have been enjoying yours. Your poem and all the food and tablescapes that went along with it were great. I'll be back to visit you. Loved the heart shaped Junior Mints.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't disappointed..all your pieces are so gorgeous! I would sit at your table any day!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those "lips" on the cake..did Carol pose for you!! LOL
From the potatoes to the Junior mints..perfecto!!
You are the Queen of Hearts! All of your food looks simply scrumptious and if I wasn't on a low fat diet, I'd be into it in a heartbeat. But I have lost a few pounds these last few weeks and that is a good thing. Hope all is well with you, things are getting better here and I actually have some time to visit my pals! take care, my friend. I appreciate all the sweet sentiments you've sent my way. hugs, Sue
ReplyDeleteFantastic Valentine's Day post, Kathleen! I just ♥ everything about it. I'm bookmarking this one for next year & hope I can remember to make even 1/2 the cute items that you created.

Rett

I LOVE your Mardi Gras tablescape kathleen! I made a pretty King Cake last year but after going to the Dr. Oz show last week and seeing people go up on his "truth tube" I decided to give up cake for Lent. I have to lose some pounds around my middle.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Happy Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteI just had to come back and look at this food again - I'm still so amazed that you were able to turn all of these foods into hearts. Right now, I am salivating over that tart, and I love the way the shrimp are arranged into a heart. You are just so darn smart! laurie
