Fishheads and Love Muffins

Fishheads

Why do I have dead piranha heads in my blog?

Because I’m trying to convince Thomas that they’re not a decorating item for our house. He got them in Peru before we met and claims they’re his only souvenir (I guess his photos don’t count).

I suggested he display them on his desk at work where there’s probably a more favorable audience, and I wouldn’t have to see them, but he didn’t agree.

My new tactic to getting rid of these lovely knick-knacks is to show him how a photograph is a great way to recording a memory of a special item. I even attempted to make a pseudo-lightbox to photograph them in.

I made some love muffins this weekend - also to try and bribe him against getting rid of the fishheads. I don’t think that worked either, but they were tasty. I’ve been craving blueberry muffins with the crumbly sugar top since we went to my parents’ house. My mom used to make delicious muffins like this.

    Brit - They’re Duncan Hines Blueberry Streusel muffins, so I just had to pour the provided sugar packet on the muffin mix in the muffin tin, before putting it in the oven.

    Dallas, I think we still have a full body (including the head) of a piranha on a stand. Although it was Dane’s, I feel sure that he would donate it to your piranha display.

    I agree with you Dallas those should be on display at his office. Good luck on trying to get him to take them to the office.

    What do you have that you might do away with in exchange for Thomas doing away with the fish heads?

    Instructables has a good write up on how to make a cheap homemade light box. http://www.instructables.com/id/EKTSDWUR5HEP286OV2/?ALLSTEPS

    If the fish heads are weatherproof, perhaps Thomas could mount them on the front of his bike, like a hood ornament, Boss Hogg style.
