DRESSING UP THE FRUIT BOWL<\/p>\n
One that would serve fruit
\nMust give it a good presentation.
\nAn anonymous Chinese philosopher<\/p>\n
A Chinese fruit seller in Nanjing decided to dress his peaches in fancy knickers and triple the price. He labeled them fancy peach butts and charged \u00a348 a dozen. What a great gift idea!!!<\/p>\n
What a great solution for the person on your Christmas list who has everything.\u00a0 Can you imagine a better present than a cute little peach decked out in lacy underwear?<\/p>\n
And why stop there?\u00a0 Imagine awakening on Christmas morning to discover a banana in a bow tie and a top hat doing a soft shoe just for you?\u00a0 Think of the delight children would have when they opened up Santa\u2019s gifts to find a pair of plums in tutus and lace bodices tucked into a chiffon lined box?<\/p>\n
I cannot think of anything better to give your Nan, than a cluster of grapes laced with garlands of velvet ribbon.\u00a0 After all, she has received enough lace hankies to last a lifetime.\u00a0 She will thrill to the novelty of something she doesn\u2019t have to tuck in a bureau drawer to give to someone else next year.<\/p>\n
Christmas shopping would be so much easier for us all. No more beating our way through crowded malls trying to outspend each other, piling up mountains of colorful boxes filled with useless trinkets no one wants under the tree.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0We would not have to spend hours exploring one expensive novelty shop after another in the Lanes trying to find just the right tie, or the prettiest bauble for our loved ones.\u00a0 All we would need to do is run over to the green grocer and load up on produce, take it home and dress it up. On Christmas morning, the house would be filled with jolly pears in tap shoes and apples sporting feather boas.\u00a0 Wow!<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget the veggies!\u00a0 They tart up amazingly well. There is nothing as appealing as a mushroom in spats and every potato worth its butter and cheese, looks better in mesh stockings with a flowered garter.<\/p>\n
What to serve for Christmas breakfast?\u00a0 Problem solved.\u00a0 Just put all the gifts in a large bowl, add some scones, clotted cream \u00a0and a bit of eggnog and enjoy.<\/p>\n
