Hangry= Hungry + Angry...and Monsters come to mind...

January 11, 2017

Having a long, holiday break with my teenage sons has been lovely, but somehow not a Norman Rockwell scene (unless Norman lived at Giant Eagle like I do). Our break together has been really fun, while serving as a vivid reminder of several things...how much teenage boys can eat; how cranky they can be when they get hungry; how often they are hungry; and how many trips I can make to the grocery store and still not have enough food in the house to satisfy them! 

It reminded me of the fabric cookbook I made years ago for my nephew, which came out of a conversation with my sister-in-law about what kind of after-school snacks would help calm the "hangry"...

The above fabric illustration opened the book with the following text...

Monsters gnash their teeth and drool

when they're hungry after school!

The best advice to avoid being bitten,

is to serve them a snack of which they are smitten!
