The world of crocheted food is a fascinating blend of craft, art, and whimsical creativity. Here's a glimpse into its history and current trends:


Historical Context:


Amigurumi's Influence:
  • A significant influence on crocheted food is the Japanese art of amigurumi, which involves crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures. While not exclusively food-related, amigurumi's rise in popularity has greatly contributed to the creation of crocheted food items. 
  • Amigurumi's roots trace back to Japan, with its modern form gaining prominence in the 20th century, particularly from the 1970s onwards with the "kawaii" (cuteness) culture.

    Traditional Crochet:
    • Crochet itself has a long history, with various applications in household items and decorative crafts. Crocheted items like pot holders and aprons have been used in kitchens for practical purposes. 
    • Therefore, the skill to create 3 dimensional objects with crochet, has been around for a long time.

    Modern Trends:


    Art and Expression:

  • Crocheted food has evolved beyond simple crafts into a form of artistic expression. Artists use yarn to create incredibly realistic and imaginative food sculptures.

  • Whimsical Decor:

    • Crocheted food items are popular as decorative pieces, adding a touch of whimsy to homes and cafes.
    • They are also used as play food for children, providing a safe and durable alternative to plastic toys.

    Social Media and Online Communities:
    • The internet and social media platforms have played a significant role in the growth of crocheted food.
    • Online communities share patterns, tutorials, and inspiration, fostering creativity and collaboration.
    • Kate Jenkins:
      • One artist who is well-known for crocheted food art is Kate Jenkins. Her work has been seen in publications such as Smithsonian Magazine. She creates very realistic-looking crocheted food. Take a look here!

    Key Takeaways:

    • Crocheted food draws on the long history of crochet and the modern popularity of amigurumi.
    • It has evolved into a versatile art form, encompassing both realistic representations and imaginative creations.
    • The internet has facilitated its growth and popularity, connecting creators and enthusiasts worldwide.

    My Thoughts For Today:

    Fake mouse prank!

    My manager is terrified of mice, especially dead mice. We all have fears but this particular fear is crippling for my boss. My co-workers created this fake mouse and decided to present it to her. I was not involved in this but didn't want to miss the expression on my boss's face when she saw it.

    One co-worker carefully held the fake mouse and began walking towards my boss in the breakroom. My boss raised an eyebrow and asked "What do you have in your hands?" in a suspecting tone. She got a tiny peek at the fake mouse and sprang from her chair in a panic kicking and screaming.

    Even after she found out it was fake she still wanted nothing to do with it. I admit this is not a nice thing to do to a person who is afraid of mice. In our daily work, and during break time, we try to make the work environment fun. It gives us entertaining memories to recall.

    For any of my employers who may read this, the mouse was made from trash material and not on company time. Also, no mice were harmed in the making of this joke.

    Keep on cooking!

    Cook the beef directly in the 8-quart cooking pot. Once the beef is fully cooked add the garlic and stir in. Next, pour a carton of beef broth and allow it to heat well.

    My Thoughts On Best Beef Vegetable Soup:

    I worked on this recipe for about two years. I searched for basic ingredients for a beef vegetable soup and slowly added other ingredients until I felt I had a great-tasting soup. I like to say my "secret" ingredient in this recipe is the On The Border medium salsa. Adding salt to your taste will bring out the flavor of the salsa. Everyone who tastes this soup recipe says it's the BEST they ever had. Try it for yourself and see what you think. This is a big pot recipe and will work great for large gatherings.

    More Information On Beef Vegetable Soup:

    Beef vegetable soup can have a variety of vegetables. This soup dates back to Roman times. In America, its history is considered a "country" soup. You may notice what vegetables are missing from my recipe. You can add or omit the vegetables you like best. Keep the other ingredients the same and you will hit on the flavor I created for this soup recipe. Learn more about Vegetable Soup here.

    My birthday gifts!

    Yesterday was my birthday and it was a good day. I enjoyed the day at home with my family. I ate good food and received birthday gifts and cards. My oldest daughter made banana cream pie for me and it is wonderful. She and her husband also gave me Dr. Squatch PINE TAR soap. It smells nice and I look forward to using it. My wife and youngest daughter gave me chicken seasoning I wrote about in a previous post and SOCAL cologne. That has been my signature scent for many years. There is a story behind that but I will spare you for now. My youngest daughter made my favorite cake called Sunshine Cake. It is a cold cake with a whipped topping that has crushed pineapple in it. What a nice day!

    My Thoughts For The Day:

    Texas Fajitas - (video below)

    It was a good Mother's Day yesterday. We celebrated at El Patron Mexican Grill in Seymour, Missouri. We had Texas Fajitas with queso, corn chips, and guacamole that was made fresh. The Texas Fajitas included chicken, beef, and shrimp. The atmosphere was very nice and they had plenty of decorations inside. The outside of the restaurant had a small decorative water mill. It didn't have water in it but it was very nice to look at. The tree outside next to the entrance had beautiful flowers on it. I created a video of our visit to El Patron on my YouTube channel called El Patron Mexican Grill Seymour Missouri that you can see. Remember to subscribe, like, and leave a comment on my video. I would recommend this Mexican restaurant for you to try.

    I love dining out and trying different places. I will leave reviews for you to see. If you have been to El Patron Mexican Grill please feel free to leave your review of the restaurant here.
