I was trying to make the cucumber and carrots look like ribbon candy. I might have to blanch it next time I try this to make it more bendable, or thread it together with something.

The dark chocolate covered coconut is made by Next Organics. I found it in the Orlando airport, on sale, along with dark chocolate covered apricots and cherries. I bought half a dozen packages they were that good.

Back to school in
January: pineapple
chunks; cucumber
slices; sandwiches
w/rice cheese "notes"
(must have been music

sticks.

And for the boys:
