Tooth on a wooden plaque, painted by using a tooth from Michael’s tooth collection as reference!
I may have had a false sense of confidence in my painting ability following Mike Geno’s cheese painting class.

Poker Chip Keychain
The last thing I drilled was a thick subway token, so drilling through this soft plastic poker chip seemed especially luxurious.
The bar Tattooed Mom distributes poker chips to their customers, which can be used for discounts for life. I’ve accumulated three, but never remember to bring them with me to the bar. To finally solve this problem, I made myself this key chain, and have one on the way (gotta get another small size split ring!) for Michael.
Plating Leftovers Like A Top Chef
Michael and I made a fairly elaborate meal when my mom was in town: puff pastry samosas, dhingri matar, tandoori cauliflower, a mint avocado yogurt sauce and a pear/mango chutney. We served this feast “family style” so that people could take as much or as little of these bold flavors as they wanted.
The next day, we decided to try to plate our leftovers as elaborately as possible-inspired by binge watching Top Chef. By putting a smear here, a sprig there, we tried to make our plates balanced and beautiful. It was a fun little exercise, and now I, at least, try to incorporate interesting plating techniques on the reg.
