Kitchen Notes: Cute/Cruel Cannibalistic Costumes for Kids

Like that alliteration, did you? OK, this video is simply sick and wrong. Martha Stewart's turning a nursery into a total freak show! (Humorous or horrifying? Both?)

Wwll look at it this way, Maddie. It could be the answer to food inflation. As Dean Jonathan Swift quoth:

"A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout."

Then there is the advice of noted home economist WC Fields:

"Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child— if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender.

Admittedly the various piecrusts and sauces Stewart proposes seem somewhat impratical at best; inedible at worst. But it may well prove to be a pratical solution for children of failed mortgageholders....
