The Heart Project
This is the story of how cookie dough, destined to become cookies, became a model of a heart.
Disclaimer: This model looks seriously like a heart. If you are squeamish, I advise you to go
here instead.
One night, I was attempting to bake cookies. Attempting to bake cookies. I decided to dye the dough red. Why? I don't know. So I added approximately 200 cc's of red food coloring. At this point, the dough looked remarkably like ground beef. So I gave up on the "baking" part, and just started shaping the dough. And just like that, BAM! A heart!
This is after I froze it for 24 hours in a bag of water.
The other side. I filled the sink with near-boiling water to thaw the heart. Sticking my hand in there wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done.
Heart in bag in boiling hot water. Now the ice is water, and the heart is floating free!
Taking the thawed heart out of the hot water.
Now there is just a heart. Closer closeup.
I took the heart out and set it on a pile of Kleenex. Does it still look a heart?
I tried to use yellow food coloring to dye some Kleenex to look like fat, but it doesn't look too good.
After the failed fat thing, I took the Kleenex off and just sacrificed the heart: I cut it open. Look! It's ground beef inside!
