GOURMET: "Les oeufs et leurs chapeaux" (The eggs and their hats)

One of the first things that comes to mind when I hear or see the word "gourmet" is the chef's hat.  Regardless of the slightly absurd shape of all varieties, the chef's hat is a gourmet staple...  as is the egg.

I think these three brown chicken eggs look quite distinguished in their choices of hats.

GOURMET: "K-I-T-C-H-E-N"

Wooden letter blocks, brush markers

For this month's challenge, my original thought was to paint a set of alphabet blocks for my niece and nephew with pictures of food to correspond with each letter.  When I couldn't find any wooden blocks, I bought wooden letters instead and painted foods to match the letters in K-I-T-C-H-E-N.  K=ketchup, I=ice cream, T=tea, C=carrots, H=honey, E=eggplant, and N=nuts.  Now that the letters are hanging in my kitchen, if the stove, refrigerator, and sink aren't a dead giveaway as to which room you're in.... the sign should be.
