Coffee No. 4
Fun, food October 10th, 2009Holy cow! It’s been over a year since I last posted something for the Food That Looks Like Stuff series. It’s not that I haven’t been looking. I’m still searching for the elusive Virgin Mary on a Pop Tart.
I’m pleased to bring you a submission that ends the yearlong drought. Thank you, reader Louise Pena!
Coffee No. 4
Wouldn’t this cup of coffee go great with Bagel #9?

Hmm. My fifth grade math teacher made me change the way I wrote my 4s. I always closed them at the top, like the typed version of the numeral. My handwriting was so bad all my 4s looked like 9s and that was causing too much work.
I could have avoided all those problems if he had just accepted “coffee” or “bagel” as valid answers on my tests.

Buggys — It is the perfect combo! Just make sure you ask for a Grande #4. Anything else just wouldn’t taste as numbery.
Grace — Funny! Yes, yes you can! Just don’t spill any, or you’ll have to clean up with Formula 409.
MadMadMargo — Yes, please play with your food. Study it. Examine it. Turn it and look at it from different angles. And then send ‘em in! You’ll get a Junk Drawer magnet for your effort. Thanks so much for the stumble.
Aria’z Ink — Better than the Virgin Mary on toast! Yes, let’s take it as a sign.
Tarheel Rambler — It does, doesn’t it? How can someone mess up a circle?
Tracy — OMG. That’s hilarious! And …. um …. a little risque for cookies. Eggs and sausage… riiiiight.
CatLadyLarew — Wouldn’t it be awesome to order your food by numbers and have them come out shaped like the number? There’s an idea whose time has come.
Chris Casey — Jesus, Mary. I’ll take either. I’m an equal opportunity foodie.
mistress pink — You are one of us. If the first thing you do is see things in your food, and the second thing you do is run for the camera, then you’ll fit right in. It did look like a flower, as much as I could make out from the pic. Keep it comin’! If we don’t do it, who will?
Lidian — Oh, no! I wasn’t prepared to be seeing unlucky numbers in the food. Let’s turn the bagel upside down and call it a “6″, shall we? Then it can be a much safer “10″ instead.
Heather — You must stop first and look carefully. I know. It’s hard to do with coffee, since you probably really would rather get started drinking it. But pause for a second and see if you can find anything. It’s quite fun. People will think you’re weird, but who cares?
Pricilla — All this math going on here is bad. I promised no more math!
Babs Beetle — Remember your most awesome wholly mammoth? I loved that post! I was shocked when I looked back in my archives how long it’d been since I had a food item. I was thrilled to get the coffee pic in my inbox. Woo hoo!
Cromely — I never made my 4’s that way because I would get upset if I could get a perfect point on the top of it. Your teacher would have loved coffee and a bagel. Beats an apple any day of the week.
Daisy the Curly Cat — You’re right, Daisy. You’re always looking for the happy and that’s why we love you.
Jodi — Glad you liked it. Have a nice Sunday yourself. Remember to check your food before you eat it!
ann — Wouldn’t everyone’s day start better if their coffee smiled up at them?

This totally means the coffee and the bagel are heaven-sent because, depending upon which is consumed first, the calorie count is either 49 or 94 calories.
I would start with the coffee so that the whole thing was just 49 calories. And I would thank the baby Jesus with every bite of my bagel.
Conversely, this is certainly not from the devil even though it could be construed that the coffee contains four calories and the bagel just nine.
And nine plus four is 13, the unlucky number of the devil.
But we don’t need to concern ourselves with that. The bagel and the coffee are from heaven. Plain and simple.

Data Entry Services — Good! And take your camera with you wherever you eat, even to restaurants. And if you look like you know what you’re doing, no one will look at you funny.
Acadia — Har! (p.s. I had four “C”s this weekend. Not proud of it.)
JD at I Do Things — It is so happy. Well, it was so happy. The shame about making it to the Drawer if you’re a food that looks like something is that you get eaten anyway. It comes with no immunity.
grannyann — Oh, man! I would have loved to see it. I bet you look at your food from now on. Tell your family about this, so they know you’re not crazy all of a sudden.
Grace — Funny! I didn’t think there could be another 409 reference out there. Figures. I thought of the cleaning supply. Yours was way more fun.
punks — Thanks for the stumble! Always appreciated.
kathryn — Yes, thank you, I do. And you will feel special too, if I can use it on the blog. It’s like you’ve arrived.
Dorothy Stahlnecker — Close enough!
cardiogirl — Now I know how you guys feel when I post math equations on the blog. You’re making my head hurt. Heaven sent, yes. You never hear of the devil appearing in things like clouds, food, stains on walls. Only Jesus and Mary. As it should be.

If you flip that coffee picture over, I think it looks a little like a dog turned sideways starring at you… and saying, “please don’t drink me”…
But I always must drink my coffee! Can’t imagine life without it.

AuntiE — Ah, but I’d never tell if it was. (It isn’t)

Red Flashlight — Ironic, isn’t it? I always see spellchecker as one word, but most spell checkers think it’s two.
Kirsten — I love it too! It’s almost too perfect!
The Jave-Addicted Trade Show Guru Steve — You are the first person to suggest that. I thought it looked like a little dog too!
Jenn Thorson — Ha! I should have known. PopTarts are too heavy anyway. I’m sure she’s trying to keep her figure.
Michelle Gartner — Same here, my dear. Same here.
Crabby Blogging Lady — I’m glad the series is new to you. I liked digging through my archives myself to find those. For a while there I was getting a lot of submissions. Couldn’t believe I went a whole year without.
Sherry at EX Marks the Spot — You’re not looking hard enough.
storybeader — Ah, thanks! Goofy is what makes the world go ’round. Or something like that.
Jeff — That reminds me of your fun song post where you played on the words of band names. BTW, I loved that strawberry song. Not a song I minded having in my head for hours after you left your comment.
LaTonya — Yep, it’s exactly like looking for things in clouds. Now get on the stick and go look at your food!
Barbara Swafford — I remember reading about Obama being intrigued by the potato. But I hadn’t heard it was thrown out. That’s sad!
Mom — That’s OK. Just drink more coffee. And, yes, you can throw your kids in the drawer. Just make sure they can breathe.
carol at A Second Cup — Pure and natural!
Leah Rubin — Aw, thanks for the award. So nice of you! I’ll have to look up that song. Never heard it. Interesting.
Christopher — You get over it if you want your coffee. I ate the smiley face cracker in my soup right after I took a picture of it. It died for a good cause.

Perfect. Counting coffee. I don’t want to be reminded of how many cups I’ve consumed. It’s like my car from the 80s that informed me when my door was open..”A door is ajar”.
On second thought, if I had more food that pointed out my overindulgences, my pants wouldn’t be so snug!
