The Barry Table

It's about food, sure, but just like Barry tables across Chicago and around the country, this is also a place to share ideas, make plans for family reunions and boast about recent accomplishments, food-related or not.

Dream Catchers, pie, and decapitated hares

seeing as its April 14Th and the last post was on April second, i thought it a good idea to "freshen up the blog" i haven't got any food pictures, no, but i do have something for your oddities folder. yesterday mom and i went to Micheal's to get a mini hare to replace the one i had accidentally decapitated. (yes, lots of blood. maybe you can do some research on this mini stuffed hare blood. and yes, HARE H-A-R-E hare, NOT bunny.) this i a wonderful picture of my gruesome murder. i had trouble with lighting.





gruesome, isn't it? feel afraid? apprehensive? we'll too bad. while we were there, we got a macrame kit. i other words, a pile of stings and metal hoops. one of the projects was a dream catcher and that's what i did. it took a lot of work, mostly because the instruction booklet didn't show you how to do half of the knots and referred to an unseen diagram. but, with a little (okay, a lot) of help from my dad, we managed to knot it off at the end. i have no idea if we did the dream catcher right, but it looked fancy and it took a lot of time, so we decided to keep it that way. notice the real duck feathers used at the bottom, instead of those stupid plastic feathers they give you.









and on my last note, i have composed a plan to make a pie each month. first we made apple pie. then we got the pies from jewel. oh well.

A cherry pie would be nice; I've always enjoyed those. Keep me posted on when it will be coming out of the oven.

As for the hare, that was a bit, ummm, scary? If you keep this up your parents may have to make an appointment for you with a head doctor.
