Food for Weeding

I don't know about you, but I think there is nothing that I dread more than weeding the garden. I know it must be done, and I certainly do appreciate the look of a well manicured garden. But I just think it's such boring a chore. And so like all my boring chores, I try to find ways to incorporate food and eating into the mix - in an effort to take some of the agony out of the work. So today I'll offer you a few weeding the garden recipe ideas:

•   S'mores are a perfect weeding the garden food. Not only is it an excuse to have a campfire and burn all those weeds you so despise, but all that sugar should make you a speedy weeding machine. Well... Either that or a ADHD weeding machine...


•   A garden salad (if you're into the healthy sort of foods...) is also a good weeding the garden food choice. Should you find any wild greens, you can simply mix them into the salad and enjoy your weeds with a delightful douse of vinaigrette.


•   Corn dogs are always a good choice because you can easily eat them without removing your dirty gardening gloves.


•   A beer helmet filled with lemonade makes for a refreshing summertime sip. (And if a little vodka should find it's way into the lemonade – all that weeding becomes a lot more entertaining...)


•   And perhaps the best weeding the garden food of all time is – gummy worms. Because let's face it – all your nosy neighbors are watching you weed the garden, and you might as well give them something to talk about: “You know what I saw? I saw him eat a worm straight from his garden! That crazy hippie chef...”
