I opened my jar of molasses to start my Thanksgiving baking…

Thanksgiving?

I hope this isn’t a bad omen.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

(And wish me luck…)

    awww, David! He’s sad but very cute. And he’s smoking a cigarette. Happy Thanksgiving :)

    • Mimi

    Is is a bird? Is it Elvis?

    • frenchtart

    if you flip the lid upside down, it looks like the top of a kitty cat head. (that’s one way of looking at it!)

    please share, what recipe are you using molasses in?

    happy thanksgiving to you!

    You should think of it this way: that little tail on the left side of his “face”, that must be a tongue. he must be licking his chops from anticipation of deliciousness, and in order to lick one’s chops, the corners of one’s mouth must be a bit turned down. so no frowns, only chop-licking.

    so cute~

    it’s really like a sad face,haha

    I thought it was another E-Bay Jesus on toast!
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    • Tisha

    I think it’s a bird (the cigarette thing is the beak).

    What is this, the food-people Rorschach?

    • David

    Maryann: I didn’t even think about him (or her) smoking. Maybe he (or she) is upset about the upcoming ban! : )

    Happy Thanksgiving David. Are you making your ginger cake with the molasse? Thanks again for the recipe, it was a big hit. Very moist and very tasty.

    Good luck, David. Happy Thanksgiving!

    • Bob

    Have a great holiday!

    It’s hilarious, but what’s scary is that you look at the inside of lids to get omens.

    Can’t you gut birds and animals like the rest of us?

    • Karen

    Good luck and Happy Thankgiving! For how many people are you cooking?

    • elarael

    What – French smiley faces that smoke don’t like molasses? Your recipe will certainly turn that frown upside down!

    And this comment tips you out of the ‘aura of 13’, heh…

    • Terrie

    I think it’s kind of cute…it looks a little like Jack Skellington.
    Happy Thanksgiving David.

    • EB

    Well from the molasses’ point of view… you’re killing it… empty jar = sad.

    • Jessica

    Spooky!

    • Christina

    Hey, you can say it’s Jesus on that lid and then sell it on Ebay. Happy Thanksgiving!

    • Jules

    Are those Grandma’s molasses? ‘Cause that’s what I have and I hope they are “mild” enough for the ginger cake.

    Good luck!

    • krysalia

    awww… poor little guy in the lid :)

    but think about that : how would you feel after you would have spent days ( even months maybe ! )with the face stucked in some molasse ? :D

    • charlotte s

    happy thanksgiving david!

    • Estelle

    Wishing you the BEST Thanksgiving ever, David. I hope you will share your menu with us.

    YOur molasses jar does look a bit sad. Perhaps it just wanted to get used.

    • Hillary

    Haha oh no!! That’s pretty funny though.

    I hope you and yours have a TERRIFIC, HAPPY, and TASTY Thanksgiving!

    • Vicky

    Hey, it looks kind of confused. Maybe its a sign of getting hit on the head.

    • Luisa

    HA! that’s hysterical. Happy Turkey Day to you, dear David. xoxo

    • Joan

    This reminds me of a site I saw years ago with photos of food (or maybe objects as well) that seemed to look like ghoulish faces…. sorry, can’t remember the site.
    Happy Thanksgiving to David and all who celebrate it – and to those who don’t!

    • Anna

    Good luck, and happy Thanksgiving! I’m not living in the US, so I’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving on Saturday, and your most-requested ginger cake is going to be making an appearance on the dessert table. I can’t wait!!

    • maninas: food matters

    that looks really funny!
    and dramatic, in a scary kind of way… brrrr

    • adoxograph

    Happy Thanksgiving! Maybe the Molasses is just a heavy for the Turkey Liberation Front? Then it could be frowning and smoking…

    • Farmgirl Susan

    Too funny. Happy Thanksgiving! xo

    • delphine

    Happy Thanksgiving! Hope all of your cooking went well!

    • Vegeyum @ A Life (Time) of Cookin
