Songs About Food – Peaches!

There are few things in life that bring more joy than food and music. These are two pleasures that most people simply can’t live without, and who would want to try? The only thing better than your favorite foods are catchy songs that are written about the foods that you crave most. When you are in the mood to be captivated by a song, why not choose one that leave you craving a sweet treat or delectable dessert? Who knew that so many songs were written about your favorite foods?

Peaches by The Presidents of the United States of America

peaches presidents

This is a classic song that mixes humor with the fondness of peaches. You might think that apple pie signifies country living, but The Presidents of the United States of America penned a song that brought peaches to the forefront forever. Moving to the country and eating a lot of peaches never sounded like a better idea. You can say what you want about this tune, but they don’t discriminate against peaches and are willing to eat them in any way possible from a can to on the farm.  (spotify link)

While we’re on the subject of peaches, here are some lovely chaQula pictures from our wonderful users which show how much we love peaches.

So if you look up pancakes on Wikipedia, it’ll say

A pancake is a flat cake, often thin, and round, prepared from a starch-based batter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan.

Seems pretty normal until you get to the whole pancakes should be round part.  Fortunately someone forgot to inform Nathan Shields.  His creations are a great little find.  From pancakes made to look like Cephalopods to Zach Galifianakis pancakes, each of them are great.  Make sure to check out his website and you won’t be bored.  If you’re feeling generous visit his commissions page and donate $100 and get your own creation (plus the $100 goes for a good cause)

Fruit Typography by Garret Steider

Garret Steider has created a fun and what seems to be a real time-consuming project he calls Typefruitography. Garret has managed to produce ever letter of the alphabet using fruits or almost all fruits (but close enough). He painstakingly carved out both upper and lower case letters and we love it.  We picked out our favorite letters and do apologize for duplicating the A’s… but you can’t spell chaQula without two apples!

An Apple a Day

We all know the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”  This is a exciting and visually fun way to keep track of just that.  A German based advertising company Serviceplan created this unique advertising for a health insurance company AOK.  Such a fun idea that we could see in a family setting or even in your office.  (via athome.kimvallee.com)
