Bo / Nature’s Nosh
Well… we were iced in when I was preparing this week’s parsha, so the photo shown does not reflect the envisioned final project. However, believe me…putting this little celery guy on a pretzel rod adds quite a bit, both to the visualization and the snack!
Ingredients:
- Celery (one stalk per person, make sure it is NOT trimmed)
- Pretzel Rod (optional, not shown)
Tool:
- Knife
Instructions:
- From a whole celery head,
2. Choose one stalk per person, that has some ends. You want two branches on each stalk.
3. Cut so that the base is about 1/3 of the length of the longer ends you want to use.
4. Trim the branches, if desired.
5. Put two slits in the base (fatter end) toward the edge, to form the front legs. Add two slits in the top (thinner end) toward the middle, to separate out the tail.
6. Gently pull the “tail” end down and bend the front and back “legs” to create the locust.
Place on a pretzel rod (not shown) for the full effect! If desired, serve with hummus for a tasty, filling snack!
