Remember Mr Pig, the guinea pig, shown last week?
Somebody said recently 'you do custom work' and I said to myself 'I do?'
I mean, I went to college and studied art, calculus, biology, psychology, literature and probably many other things, and I guess that I could not have predicted one day I would be doing a custom guinea pig. Mr Pig, in his photo, looks like a 3 color miniature cousin IT. Well, I did it, rather successfully I think, along with a host of other dogs for some rather sweet people in New Hampshire. It is , ahem, a challenge, trying to make a person's specific pet, but I think I have risen to the challenge.
Do you have any idea how long it takes to glaze a table full of guinea pigs and zebras? I'm hungry.

That looks like very close, detailed work. I bet I'd have a headache after a while!
But the results make it worthwhile!!!
Well, Susan, I hope it is worthwhile. I don't want to mess upp somebody's guinea pig.
Things are more different in NY than I thought, Gary. Animal protection laws up here prevent us from glazing guinea pigs ...
And to think that Lucia says they are the equivalent to sheep in Ecuador's mountans.....
Yep. We don't eat them here.
man, I don't even eat tofu guniea pigs.
Ugh. I don't tofu. Can we still be friends? I have this thing about plaster in my food.
PLASTER????
You betcha. Also known as calcium sulphate in this instance: http://www.jadedragon.com/archives/cooking/soybean2.html
It IS food grade, but ...
LALALALALA I can't hear you.....
Listen, there is this place Alan has spoken of dinosaur b-b-q in Syracuse that is the bees knees, and even THAT place, as carniverous as it is, has plenty for a leaf-eater like me. Everything is good GRILLED, with sauce.
I have no problems with leaf eating, Gary. Leaves make a nice accompaniment to things that are NOT leaves ...
Just no plaster in my food ... ;-) You'll notice I'm not objecting the "bean curd" portion of tofu ... No matter how disgusting that sounds ...
Gordo, the dude in the corner of the cave, dripping entrails hanging from his fanged mouth...
Nope ... I don't do entrails, either ... :-D
Gordo, the dude in the corner of the cave, eating popcorn and drinking a light Chablis, from California, and discussing existentialism and French new wave Cinema.
I prefer red and don't speak French. :-)
I like caves, though ... And have spent time in corners ...
Boy, that gr, always pulling someone's leg...
I'm not from California, either ... LOL
brazil is the biggest producer of tofu but it is banned there because it is so disgusting. i think it has something to do with the acid that is used to transform it.
btw, you need to do a close-up of the guinea pig otherwise it looks like a rabbit turd...albeit, a very nice one.

Do kidneys count as entrails?
