Guess!

Hi, everyone! Sorry for the lag in blogging....I've been pretty busy lately and also wanted to give Liz and Nicole Jackson a long run at the top spot. :)  To make up for my absence, I decided to come up with a fun "game" for my readers to play.   People often want to see pictures of my food, and I'm always surprised at how often they ask "What is that???" in regards to a picture that, to me, looks very obvious what it is.  So, I decided to post a handful of some of my wackiest food photos and see how clever my readers are!  Post your answers in the "share your thoughts" section, and the person who gets the most right will get a special shout out!  Include your name, email address, and your list of answers, 1-10.  Ready......set........guess!
