If You Are Going To Put Your Foot In Your Mouth...

It might as well be well seasoned! 

For all of the Star listeners, cooking foot apparel is just not a good idea, nor is it good eats!  Nutritionally speaking, it's just bad.  See, although the styles are endless, the material is not.  Before you think about eating the inedible, you need to consider the "ingredients".  Fibers, such as cotton, cannot be digested by the body.  Man made products contain chemical colorings and polymers, and are certainly not organic!  In my kitchen shoes are not going to be served, BUT shoos and chouxs are!  So, here are some recipes that will make your tootsies curl.

Enjoy!
