HOW TO BAKE CUTE BIRD BREAD. SCOTTISH FOLD & FOREVER FRIENDS TEDDY BEAR: DO YOU STILL BUY/SLEEP WITH STUFFED TOYS?
Twitter has been leading to intriguing developments in my life as of late (you’re welcome to add me to stay in the loop)… but more on that later. The other day, I asked the Twitterverse for advice on what to serve with my brie cheese. I then found this Russian video about how to make cute bird-shaped bread rolls! It’s easy: hand-roll the dough into a 6 inch long strip and twist it into a knot. Pinch a beak, flatten and cut a tail, and add peppercorn eyes.
The baby birds baked beautifully and were delicious with melted brie. For the dough, I used my Pig Bread recipe from Cute Yummy Time, with oregano and pepper for a spicy kick. (You can see how I made healthy piggy-faced bread rolls in this video.)
If you are on my Twitter, you also know that I stumbled upon a Forever Friends plush bear in a Hallmark store. It looked so much like my Scottish Fold cat that I had to buy it. To my surprise, Basil Farrow loves this teddy bear (perhaps because it reminds him of his kind). He usually hates stuffed toys, especially Hello Kitty! (Video of Basil and his bear coming soon, along with Moi dix Mois, a cute cooking demo, and more.)
On Twitter, I asked if you still buy/sleep with stuffed animals, and the resounding answer was YES. How about you?
Song of the Day #161: The Names – Calcutta (one of the many terrific tracks I found on the Dark80s Twitter)

Thomas says:On the topic of cute bird things, but not bread, I have a site for bird & bat skull rings/necklaces etc. (Not made from real birds)
bird skull jewlery & more there are also some great steam punk pieces. Not a huge selection but a local NYC jeweler makes these.

Ia says:Oh, yes, I most certainly do sleep with stuffed toys! I have many plushtoys – I can't help it, I love the cute, soft, squishy-ness of them.. So, I alternate plushtoys that I sleep with so each plushy gets some love. <3
