It’s fun to snoop in basements and attics--you never know what weird stuff you might find! This blog is about the junk sitting around in Ellen McHenry’s Basement Workshop.

OBJECT #14: Potato Animal Head
This piece of junk wasn’t in my basement very long, for obvious reasons. It sat on display for a few days, then I snapped a picture before returning it to the pantry.
I’m a big fan of the book “Play With Your Food” by Joost Elffers. The book consists of whimsical photos of food items posed to look like animals. There’s a banana octopus, a mad-face orange, a yam mole, a confused pumpkin face, and garlic clove ducks. My potato deer isn’t quite up to Elffers quality, but it made me laugh when I pulled it out of the bag. I just couldn’t bring myself to ignore the deer/bear/whatever, and just toss the potato into the pot. It needed to receive its due and be admired for a few days.
