And now for something completely different. Well, not completely. It’s still produce. But kinda sorta different.
It’s not tomatoes.¹
I think this guy looks a bit like a cross between The Shmoo and Lou Costello. That is, If their union somehow resulted in a squash offspring. (This photo was from February of this year.)
I chose this photo to post in a hurry tonight, and it reminded me of the bizarre looking eggplant character I’d shared a while back. Upon digging up that post to link to it, I find that it was a year ago today that I shared that eggplant. And so, a tradition is born. From this day forward, I declare November 21st to be International Day of the Odd Vegetable.²

¹ I have one last tomato post stewing, but don’t have time to wait for it to finish cooking. I have too much other produce to deal with for Thanksgivng.
² This name could use Some Work. Any recommendations? (Day of Peculiar Produce?)

It’s not just vegetables that get in on the action. Take a look at this slab of lard I came across while making pies one time.

Good lard! It sure doesn’t seem happy to be made into pie crust.
That is one expressibe slab of lard! Too funny.
Very cute! Reminds me of VeggieTales. :)
He is cute, isn’t he? I haven’t seen veggie tales, so I’ll take your word that he bears a resemblance.
This is the cutest squash I’ve ever seen! Very goofy-looking, and I mean that in the most positive way.
International Day of Kooky Comestibles?
He was cute, wasn’t he? Didn’t stop me from chopping him and up throwing him into the stew, though. (Please don’t quote me out of context.)
