Edible book titles
People! Where are your entries? Get on the stick, right this instant!
Last week, I wrote about Hedberg Public Library’s Incredible Edible Book Challenge.
Here’s the idea: Individuals, families and community groups are encouraged to create an edible entry related to any book title of their choice.
Entries can be puns based on the titles of books, such as “20,000 Leeks under the Sea,” “Quiche of the Spider Woman,” or “Origin of the Reese’s.”
Or they can be a simple reflection of the title such as “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” or “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”
Although the entries have to be edible, they will not actually be eaten, only displayed at the library on April 10.
However, you must register for the contest by Thursday. You can print out the entry form off of the library’s website hedbergpubliclibrary.org, but entries must be turned in at the library.
Not very many folks have registered, so you’ll have a good chance of winning. Well, that’s what I’m counting on, anyway.
Seriously, people, this could be a lot of fun.
My entry will be….wait, I’m not telling.
However, I will share some of the ideas my sister and I came up with.
Please feel to steal them:
-One Flew Over the Chicken Breast -Anchovy and Cleopatra -Macaroni and Cleopatra -Anchovy and Penne Pasta -Mary had a Little Lamb -Mary had a little berries on her Lamb -Green Eggs and Ham -Hop on Pop -Go Dog, Go hot dogs -A Clockwork Orange -The Grapes of Wrath -Bridescake Revisited

How about:
Sea Biscuit or the Apple Dumpling Gang or Strawberry Girl or Goodbye Mr. Chips or Raisin in the Sun or National Velvet Cake or Lord of the Fries or the God Fava, or Cannery Roe ??? You can steal those too.....I won't be able to enter, I am working on report cards and narratives and that will take most of my time this whole weekend and next. UGH.

I wonder if my entry will be the only Peeps-related one. You'll have to attend to see it in its glory.
My original "War and Peas" idea seemed too labor-intensive. Ditto for the "And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street" plan.
