The Chopstick Masters

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on September 5, 2008

Uh Oh.

I, Chocolate-Covered Vegan, used to be known as the Chopstick Queen… but it seems two conniving little rascals (a.k.a. my cousins, Dennis and Nathan) usurped that title from me while we were on our cruise. Take a look:

What to do about this?

Oh, okay boys, you can have the title. You’re much cuter than I am with the chopsticks, anyway. But can I at least have my queenly crown back? My head feels very bare without it :o /

Thanks to everyone who wished me an early happy birthday. Oh, and Happy Birthday to all you fellow Virgos (my b-day is the 6th!). Who knew there were so many of us? Vegan Virgos take over the world, perhaps? Ah, that has a nice ring to it.

I say you dub your cousins the Chopstick Princes and retain your own title! :)

Hahaha, chopstick kids! So cute!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow! Mines on the 14th so I’m a Virgo too (although I can’t claim the vegan title but I can claim a vegetarian one :P )

Aww, so cute! But I’m sure you’re cute with the chopsticks too. :) Do they know how to use chopsticks? If not you should definitely teach them! :) Happy birthday (almost)! Hope you have some yummy vegan cupcakes/cake for your bday.

Your cousins are so cute that there’s no way they can be denied the title of “Chopstick Masters!” But you should definitely keep the crown- you created the title!

I just found your blog and I LOVE IT! I scrolled through to look at pictures and it looks like you enjoy some really yummy foods AND have a penchant for cake/cupcake decorating. Yay!
I’m a Virgo, too! But not a vegan…total carnivore. :) Happy birthday!

Andrea—
My hair definitely doesn’t curl like that naturally. I WISH! Normally, it’s pin-straight. To get it to look like that, my super-talented sister used a spiral curling iron. (She seriously IS super-talented… she can actually French-braid her OWN hair!!!)

Caretoeat/Erin—
Your comment was so sweet! Thank you!!!

Caitlin—
LOL, my cousins do not know how to use chopsticks… but they have fun trying! Well, actually, as you can see in the pictures, I think Nathan just had fun putting them in his mouth :o ).
