8/11/2009 - Pathetic Salad Face

Ok, I have to admit, this Salad Face is lacking in creativity. I don't know what I was thinking.

I actually only found this photo TODAY. I made this salad face ages ago, and I had forgotten about it. I was sorting through my photos on my digital camera, and I found this!

Even though this Salad Face looks a bit pathetic, it still has character, don't you think?

He sort of looks a but "Derr... " like he is mentally challenged or something. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I love all of my Salad Faces equally, no matter what they look like. That's what unconditional love is all about. :D 

Ok, so. The story with this one is: My partner and I were at Hogs Breath Cafe. The veggies they served us were undercooked. So, instead of complaining and demanding NEW veggies, I decided to do what I do best.

Anyway........ His eyes are made of corn. We both hate corn.

His nose and eyelids are made from very raw carrot sticks. His eyebrows are awfully under-cooked Broccoli and his smiley mouth is a half-eaten steak. I guess he is more of a "Veggie Face"... but... uh... let's just ignore that so that it fits with this genre. Shh... I won't tell anyone if you wont. ;)

5/11/2009 - Ms. Salad Face

This is my most recent (and first female) Salad Face. I made this one only a few weeks ago. I was out with my boyfriend (actually now he is my fiance!) and his mates from work. This was the first time I had met them.

My fiance begged me not to make a salad face (my poor darling must have been embarrassed!)

Typically, I didn't listen to him :D and guess what?? His mates thought my salad face was hilarious! It was a hit!

So! Ms. Salad faces' beady eyes are made from some type of bean. I used onion, avocado and capsicum for her nose, eyebrows and mouth. She has mixed salad for her long, luxurious hair. Isn't she gorgeous?

5/11/2009 - Angry Salad Face!!!

Angry Salad Face was a brave Salad Face for me to make. I'll tell you why. I was out for dinner with my boyfriend (we'd only been together for 2 weeks at the time) and this was the first time I met his friends.

You know what they say about first impressions.

So they served mushrooms with the meals. Nobody likes mushrooms :(

Those disgusting mushrooms were the start of the salad face. It gives him his crazy, stressed out, looks-like-he's-gonna-burst-a-blood-vessel eyes.

My boyfriend and one of his mates both ordered Bruschetta as an entré. It was disgusting. It had FAR too much tomato on it. So that tomato was used for Angry Salad Faces' hair, ears and teeth. Some lettuce strands were used to make the angry eyebrows. A spare piece of bread from the bruschetta was used for the mouth.

Originally, the mouth was turned upside down, as I was angry at the waiter for mixing up my meal. You see, I ordered my steak well done and I got served a medium rare steak. We later realised that one of my boyfriends' mates got my well done steak and I got his... but it was too late to swap by then.

Anyway.. I'm getting carried away.

Actually... that's all I had to say about this one.

5/11/2009 - Salad Face Jr.

Salad Face Jr. was made at a family event. This was at an RSL Bistro. I made this Salad Face to entertain my younger cousins (and perhaps, myself).

I used cherry tomato halves for his eyes, a potato chip for his nose, mixed salad for his mouth and hair.

I call him Salad Face Jr. because he has an innocence about him, he looks youthful. My salad faces are like my children. I love them all.

5/11/2009 - Mr. Salad Face

This is my first recorded salad face. I made many before this, but unfortunately I did not have a camera handy on those occasions.

Anyhoo- This salad face was made due to sheer boredom at a very fancy restaurant. The potatoes I used for Mr. Salad faces' mouth were disgusting. That is the very reason that they were in the salad face (instead of my stomach).

I used an orange slice for his nose, and lemon halves as his ears.

His eyes are made from sour cream and sweet chilli sauce pots. His hair is a mixed salad.

The most rewarding (and entertaining) part of making Salad Faces is at the point when the waiter or waitress comes to take the plate away. The looks on their faces are priceless. They are usually unsure whether or not to take the plate away. Now if only I could get a candid photo of the waiters when they see the salad face, that would be awesome. But I do not think that it would be possible. (And I don't like the idea of carrying around release forms for the waiters to sign, to use their photo's on the internet... too much effort!)
