Shaping fruits and vegetables as they
grow on the vine is nothing new. John Czeski, an Ohio farmer, was
harvesting pumpkins with human faces in the 1930s. But these adorable
baby Buddha pears take playing with food to a whole new level. A Chinese farmer been tinkering with
modified pears since 2003, and this year he's reportedly grown 10,000
edible Buddhas. But are they too cute to eat?
I think I would eat more fruit if they were shaped like a purse or a shoe. How about you?

Tory Burch offers advice to create a
beautiful tablescape:
- "Just try different things.
Patterns you wouldn't think to put together can surprise you, and
look great."
- "The kitchen is perfect for lunch.
I like casual dining, though it should still be elegant."

favorite, but it's more interesting next to other blues."

introduce plants to the table. They're beautiful, and functional,
too."
