There has been a major scientific breakthrough!

We've seen Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories here before, but that was just one project. They've done lots of other cute, clever, scary, and nerdy DIY projects, which they of course, blog.

At first glance, I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a Dalek or an excited R2-D2.

Awesome. One step closer to 100% edible Muppets.

EMSL is really awesome, though I have to wonder how popular the junior member is at school. It could go either way. Also, I often make "picture meals" for my kids and I was very excited about this development. I'm thinking sandwich would make just as good an eyeball substrate as milk duds and be at least twice as nutritious.

Awesome. Perhaps I will make some FSM treats for our upcoming hot-chocolate-and-games party. It's just the kind of crowd that would appreciate them.

I saw the edible googly eyes and thought about posting it earlier. Lately, my girlfriend and I have gotten obsessed with making food with faces.

Well this is a lot better than the last time we had a googly-eyes post...

That's awesome, Mr Zombie. My kids have specifically requested I not put faces on their food because it squicks them out (I have no complied with this request--"builds character" is my reply). Another good one is cutting a sandwich into cubes and building a fort. Or cut it into a long spiral and making it a maze.

Finally! It's about time googly eyes were just as delicious and edible as children's eyes.

I've had the La Choy in marshmallow thing, and...it's actually pretty good. Especially with some chocolate and peanut butter in it.

Oh geez, of COURSE that's how you do it. Why didn't I think of this? This is brilliant! I feel like a 15th-century monk who just saw his first Gutenberg Bible and is all "Oh.... fuuuuuuck."

For those of us who tend to go a little overboard when preparing food, I highly suggest looking into molecular gastronomy. OMG, it's so much fun! Chemistry and Cooking...I get to be a Mad Scientist with a Chef's hat? Life is sweeeet! (And so is coffee caviar...yum.) I've got some links on my de.licio.us to some blogs and some retailers where you can buy goodies like calcium chloride and xantham gum. I don't have a lot of links there, but it's probably a good launching point.

Before I was a parent, I would have said COOL! Now that I'm a parent, I immediately think "oh great, and if someone feeds this to my kids, they're going to try to eat non-edible googly eyes and choke." sometimes being a parent spoils the fun

and if someone feeds this to my kids, they're going to try to eat non-edible googly eyes and choke. I've tried explaining to my son that the only edible fingers are the poultry kind, but he just doesn't get it. Fortunately, his fingers are attached to his arm so the Heimlich has only been necessary once, and only then because he was wearing gloves.

It seems like if you just want to give your sandwich eyes, you could skip the trimming and Whopper steps and just shove the half-gelcap into the bread a little bit. It also seems like this is something I should do.

One step closer to 100% edible Muppets. Oh no, you can eat 100% of the Muppet already. They're boneless, you know.

For those who might be inclined to "take it to the next level", as it were, it should be noted that veterinary clear capsules are much larger than the "00" size mentioned.

Thank god! I was getting worried there. The googly-eye-gap between us and the Russians was enough to keep even the most faithful of patriots up at night. Now we only have worry about the Chinese sending edible-birthday-candle wave attacks against us.
