Aggressive Whimsy

You must love food if you are to be truly whimsical. Food is not just for eating: it can be played with, made into art and is perfect for wrapping in baker’s twine and gifting. Grocery stores also make great playgrounds!

• only shop at locally-owned grocery stores, Whole Foods or the farmers market
• stare at the neatly stacked cans of cat food and appreciate the beauty in the design of the Fancy Feast label and OMG HELLA BRIGHT COLORS
• stick your hand in all the grains and beans in the bulk section and pretend that you are Amelie
• smell a peach while staring at the cute cashier with a Dali mustache 
• dance in the frozen foods section
• buy a baguette and carry it under your arm like a French lady
• arrange heirloom tomatoes into a face
• talk to the lady giving out samples of hummus for fifteen minutes
• stock up on whimsical beverages
• covet the aprons the clerks get to wear
• always remember to bring a canvas bag from your collection
• sleep through the farmers market because really, weekends are just so hard.
