Early in his career, Amerigo Vespucci didn't have the masterful touch with food pics he does now.

...I have visions of screaming tomatoes being squashed by big, hairy men with rubber mallets. They roll as fast as they can towards the center of the tomato herd, only to buy themselves a few minutes of life. Their last vision, that hot tomato they shared a vine with for so many weeks. Then...splat.

The truth is that catsup is the last product on the line. EVERYTHING that's at the end of the belt goes in the pot if you get my drift.

Didn't taste any different than red ketchup, they made that ketchup to appeal to kids.

Not sure if it's still around, though.

I used to LOVE to cook for friends' kids -- they loved foods that would disturb their parents.

A little blue food coloring in their mashed potatoes and they were in Nirvana.

And don't get me started on my signature kids' dish -- Dinosaur Turds.

Moms (on hearing "Dinosaur Turds&quot : "M...F...M !?!?!?!?!?!"

To which I'd reply, "Your kids are gonna be HEROES tomorrow in school!!!!"
