4. Living in a Cartoon

If I was walking in a field and came across this, I'd assume that a Roger Rabbit situation had occurred. That would mean that the cartoon world and the real world melded. That seems like a lot of fun, but imagine having to deal with Bugs Bunny in real life? That dude is a crafty jerk. You'd come home one day and find that Bugs Bunny is in your home. You try to come in but then a Bouncer Bug Bunny answers the door asking for ID. You can see hundreds of other Bugs Bunnies behind him, dancing. Bugs Bunny says your ID is fake and puts you in jail with Prisoner Bugs Bunny who tortures you more.

That sounds like a realistic depiction of dealing with Bugs Bunny, right? Luckily this is just a sculpture that is made to look like a cartoon.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
