Face Plates

Howdee all,

Every year when vacationing with the family in Chatham we have the Finished plate challenge…how creative can you be with your leftover food!

Sometimes that's quite a challenge because the food is so good I want to finish every last bite!  I think some of us strategically didn't eat some of our food as to make our plates more interesting.

The wait staff at the restaurant found this quite amusing and they all declared a winner of our Face plate contest. Which I will reveal later.

So if you will please humor us all….please vote for one of these plates…you may vote for more ..just number them according to which ones you like.

I will post the winners name after the contest ends.

 

May the best Plate win!

 

Number 1.

I believe this plate uses leftover skin from a sea bass. This person also has two entries.

  9. I will vote for #9 as I can understand someone not finishing their snow peas. We were taught to clean our plates and not to play with our food :-(
    so sad...

  11. I really liked no. 1. There was something sooo sick about that one but I am not sure what. I liked the last two the best. The deep green really tied it all together. My ultimate favorite being 14. While I liked the grotesque nose no. 14 has a better flow.

  13. I love your crazy family and will start making face plates as I always seem to have left overs. Of course I believe in dessert first, because I can. My vote #2 for it's fun and whimsy. All are funny.

  14. I tried to figure out which one I thought should win, but my mind kept wanting to eat those snap peas...ha, how could anyone not finish those!

    Only because I am laughing so hard at all of these. I bet the wait staff talk about you and your family all year! You must be their favorite customers.
