My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is to create real-to-life edible portraits of family and friends.
When your guests sit down at your Thanksgiving table and see their reflection staring back at them on a plate- it will be worth the many hours you poured into creating these intimate and sobering caricatures.
Below are directions for you to make your own edible portraits. This can all feel a little overwhelming at first, like shampooing your hair for the first time or listening to songs on the radio. But with a tremendous amount of effort, perseverance and dedication, you too can reap the rewards of creating a most memorable Thanksgiving tradition.
HOW TO MAKE EDIBLE PORTRAITS
PREPARATION TIME: 17 – 39 hours
- You will need sliced bread, ketchup and a photograph of a loved one
- Lay the bread out on a flat, even surface
- The bread is basically your “canvas”
- The ketchup is basically your “paint”
- By studying the photograph, use the ketchup to create an accurate portrait of your loved one
- Try your best to capture your loved one’s spirit, essence and soul
- Place completed portrait on a plate and set in front of loved one’s assigned seat at the table
- You’re done!
Your guests are likely to pay you lots of compliments like “Hey, why is there a piece of bread with ketchup on it sitting on the table?” and “What the hell is this?” Once you explain to them what it is they are looking at and how many hours you spent getting it just right, they will be flabbergasted and grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
